On The Morning Show, Aniston plays morning news anchor Alex Levy and Witherspoon stars as her co-anchor Bradley Jackson, both of whom exposed a toxic workplace culture at their television network UBA in season 1, which premiered in November 2019.
After COVID-19 delays, the second season hit the streamer this past September. During season 2, UBA was forced to deal with the aftermath of the harassment allegations coming to light. The network was also faced with new problems, including the outbreak of the pandemic, an exposé about the behind-the-scenes troubles and racism within the network.
In addition to Aniston and Witherspoon, the season featured returning stars Steve Carell, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Bel Powley, Desean Terry, Janina Gavankar, Tom Irwin and Marcia Gay Harden.
Julianna Margulies, Greta Lee, Ruairi O'Connor, Hasan Minhaj, Holland Taylor, Tara Karsian and Valeria Golino all joined for season 2.
