Jennifer Aniston has a lot on her plate. Fresh from the massive emotional impact F.R.I.E.N.D.S reunion had on its viewers, the actress is now looking forward to The Morning Show. The second season of the series, co-starring Reese Witherspoon, will hit Apple TV+ on September 17. A new teaser, released recently, revealed the chaos that would ensue after the shocking events of season one.
Season 2 promises to be even more explosive
To recall, veteran anchor Alex Levy (Aniston) and newcomer Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon) decided to expose the toxic work environment of the show on National television. The 2-minute-long teaser gave us a reminder of the on-air expose that the two lead anchors had planned, and how it'd shake up the organization's ecosystem, as expected. It also shows Levy's exit, and her comeback. Promisingly explosive!
Aniston feels satisfied as a producer of this show
Talking about it, Aniston said that the storyline of the gritty series is going to "very intense and emotional and complicated." As its producer, the We're the Millers star feels satisfied that everything has "fallen into place very organically."
