The Morning Show officially returned to Apple TV+ with season 2 during the fall. But before fans could even finish devouring the 10 episodes, there were endless questions about if another season would be coming. You don’t wanna get too attached, amirite? The good news is the show has indeed been renewed for a third season on the streamer! Yep, that’s right—the show-within-a-show that takes place in the wee hours of the morning will be back on your screens in the future. All the details on when exactly season 3 will be out are still TBD though, just FYI.

The A-list star power behind The Morning Show certainly made it a likely candidate for renewal. (You don’t cancel Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston without due warning!) They’ll likely end the show when the story reaches its natural conclusion. The renewal doesn’t come as much surprise considering that The Morning Show was nominated for two Golden Globes, three Screen Actor’s Guild Awards (including one win for Jennifer), a Television Critics Award, and eight Primetime Emmy Awards—including one win for Billy Crudup, who also won a Critics’ Choice Award. So needless to say, the people are loving it and it had a high chance of sticking around.

The only downside to The Morning Show’s famous faces, of course, is that such a star-studded cast might be difficult to schedule for a 10-episode season with all the movie offers and red carpet obligations expected of them. That’s how Hollywood works, right?

Production on the second season of the Apple TV+ series halted in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and resumed later in the year with rewrites to reflect the current state of the world. As a result, season 2 of The Morning Show goes deep on both the pandemic’s impact on the media industry and the national reckoning with racism, particularly in the workplace. The third season will probably run just as smoothly; it seems like most productions have figured out how to keep going without compromising safety.

It’s also worth noting that many Apple TV+ shows have been renewed in advance, especially in recent years. Ted Lasso, the streaming network’s other certified hit, was officially renewed for a third season before the second season even started filming. Dickinson was renewed for a third season before the second season premiered. Trying, the network’s British sitcom about a couple’s adoption journey, was also renewed for a third season before the second season hit the proverbial airwaves. So were For All Mankind, See, and Servant.

Still, it remains to be seen where The Morning Show ends up when it’s all said and done (but I wouldn’t expect a Grey’s situation)…but when we get word, you bet we’ll tell you right here.
