‘The Morning Show’ Season 2 Trailer: Aniston, Witherspoon Return for Apple Emmy Winner

Apple has announced its flagship drama series “The Morning Show” will return for a 10-episode new season this September with a first look teaser trailer promising plenty of drama to come. The series, led by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, won Apple its first major award wins at the Emmys, SAG Awards, and Critics Choice Awards. Can the upcoming second season continue to deliver the awards season goods for Apple?

The official synopsis for “The Morning Show” Season 2 from Apple reads: “Picking up after the explosive events of season one, season two finds the Morning Show team emerging from the wreckage of Alex (Aniston) and Bradley’s (Witherspoon) actions, to a new UBA and a world in flux, where identity is everything and the chasm between who we present as and who we really are comes into play.”
