The Morning Show has wrapped its third season on Apple TV+, and executive producer Charlotte Stoudt is looking forward to the future of the drama. The series has already been renewed for a fourth season.
Starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee, Jon Hamm, Nicole Beharie, and Julianna Margulies, the series revolves around the lives of the staff of a network morning news program.
Stoudt talked about the repercussions of Laura’s (Margulies) actions and her future on the Apple TV+ series:
The moral clarity Alex gains in her break from Paul allows her to forgive Bradley for covering up Hal’s involvement in the insurrection. What about Laura? Is there room for forgiveness there as you enter Season 4?
Stroud: What was fun this year was giving Laura more colors and complexity. Juliana is a tremendous actress, and I wanted to see her get messy, nasty, ugly, hurt, vindictive, shattered. I wanted to turn up the temperature on that character. Laura is very cool, calm and collected. She is often the adult in the room — In Season 2, I kept thinking, “Listen to that lady! She knows the right thing to do!” So I was like, “Okay, what if that lady’s getting it wrong? What if that lady stumbles or misjudges?” There’s a kind of pathos to Laura, this loneliness to her. She went through something really difficult. A lot of people forget, when Ellen came out on her show, it was so controversial. We’ve forgotten that, but it was so difficult for someone to do that. And Laura went through that phase of homophobia, and you get the sense her family doesn’t accept her. So I wanted to find her vulnerability more.
We’re very, very, very early in the room [for Season 4], but I think I’d want to explore that more. Her dimensionality. Not just, “I’m Laura and I love Bradley, and she occasionally drives me crazy!” I think there’s there’s more to Laura than that.
When asked how long the series might last, Stroud said, “The show deals with contemporary events, and obviously — news is gonna keep happening. The DNA of the show allows for a certain amount of longevity. But as I always say, don’t ask me about Everest. I’m just working on Kilimanjaro. Because it’s a pretty steep climb to try to get this show to the finale.”
A premiere date for The Morning Show season four will be announced later. Seasons typically launch in the fall.
