It’s the show that lifts the veil on the behind-the-scenes backstabbing and politics of breakfast TV, all while pitting Jennifer Aniston’s character Alex against Reese Witherspoon’s Bradley. But the new season will see old foes turned friends as they team up to face an even greater threat.
Here, WHO dishes the dirt on everything you need to know about Season 3 of Morning Wars.
Morning Wars Season 3: Plot
Picking up a few months after the 2021 finale, when Alex had just caught COVID, the new season will leave the virus in the past as it moves onto juicier storylines.
A cyber attack on the network will leave its biggest stars exposed as new secrets are threatened to be revealed to the public. While she’s been down, dealing with the loss of Mitch (Steve Carell), Alex will step up and be back on her A-game after deciding she wants a bigger seat at the table.
“I feel like Alex has come to a place for the first time since the pilot of accepting who she is and facing her worst fears,” says showrunner Kerry Ehrin. “I want to see how the phoenix rises from the ashes for her, and learning how to have a full life and be present and loving.”
Morning Wars Season 3 Cast
Along with Jon Hamm joining the show, there are a few new faces set to shake things up, including Nicole Beharie who plays new anchor Christina Hunter and Stephen Fry as board member Leonard Cromwell. Expect loyalties to shift as new alliances are formed.
“Everybody has a secret,” Aniston teased during an interview with E! News of the new arrivals. “There’s some twists and turns – there’s romance.”
But the twists won’t just come from new players. At least one character is set to stir up trouble from the grave, with Mitch’s revelations in Paola’s (Valeria Golino) documentary still in play.
Hamm takes on the role of media executive Paul Marks. He quickly forms a working alliance with Alex, but is the relationship more than professional? “It’s a lot more sensual this year,” Aniston teased of the new season.
Morning Wars Season 3: Bradley’s love triangle
Speaking of romance, while we can expect plenty of fireworks, the path to happily ever after never runs smooth. After Bradley struck up romances with Cory (Billy Crudup) and Laura (Julianna Margulies), someone is bound to get their heart broken.
Last season ended with Laura inviting Bradley to quarantine with her in Montana, and Cory suddenly confessing his love for her. When Bradley had to rush off to visit a family member in hospital, the network CEO – and viewers – were left in the dark over how she feels, which Ehrin admits may become a part of the plot for a while to come.
“I definitely want to see more of Bradley and Laura,” Ehrin told Deadline.
