Jennifer Aniston's 'Cougar' Role Ignites Heat in The Morning Show Season 4

Jennifer Aniston is turning up the heat in the sizzling new trailer for The Morning Show ¿ and this time, she¿s fully embracing her cougar era

The Morning Show Sizzles with Sex, Scandal, and Sabotage!

Get ready for a season of drama, intrigue, and power struggles as The Morning Show returns with a bang on Apple TV+! Jennifer Aniston is back as powerhouse anchor Alex Levy, embracing her cougar era with a sizzling romance that will leave you breathless. But don't be fooled – this trailer promises explosive fallout from the merger that's left everyone reeling.

In a standout moment, Aniston's character gets cozy with younger right-wing podcaster Brodie (Boyd Holbrook) in a candlelit dinner scene that's guaranteed to spark some serious chemistry. And it's not just about the romance – their office hallway exchange is dripping with tension, leaving us all wondering what's going on behind closed doors.

In one standout moment, Aniston¿s character Alex Levy shares an intimate evening with younger right-wing podcaster Brodie (Boyd Holbrook)

But Alex's love life is just the tip of the iceberg as The Morning Show tackles the messy aftermath of the merger between UBA and NBN. Reese Witherspoon returns as Bradley Jackson, who's looking for second chances and a shot at making things right inside the newly rebranded UBN. Aniston's Levy insists that this is a reset, but it looks like someone might be playing with fire...

As we dive back into the world of The Morning Show, it's clear that nothing has changed – except maybe who's in charge. Billy Crudup's slippery CEO Cory Ellison is still up to his old tricks, while Mark Duplass' Charlie Chip Black is trying to stay one step ahead of the game. And then there's Jeremy Irons as Alex's father, pointing out just how far she's fallen...

But what about those deepfakes and conspiracy theories threatening the very fabric of our news? Who can you trust in a world where truth is under attack? It looks like The Morning Show has some answers – or at least, it thinks it does. After all, as Mia Jordan (Karen Pittman) so astutely puts it, "People need to feel that UBN is gonna have it first, and they're gonna have it right."

Their chemistry doesn¿t come out of nowhere ¿ the trailer also shows the pair locked in a fiery office hallway exchange

This season promises explosive revelations, heart-stopping confrontations, and more drama than you can shake a stick at! Will Alex's new romance be her downfall, or will she manage to keep the peace in a world where everyone seems out to get her? And what about those FBI agents who are snooping around UBN – what do they want?

Get ready for a season of The Morning Show that's hotter than ever! With 10 episodes dropping weekly from September 17 on Apple TV+, you won't want to miss a single moment. So grab some popcorn, get cozy, and prepare yourself for the drama-filled ride ahead!
