Since its debut in 2019, Apple TV+'s The Morning Show has shocked and wowed viewers with its fictional take on the cutthroat business of daytime TV. Starring A-listers like Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, the first season quickly captivated fans, scoring an impressive eight Emmy nominations and one win at the 2020 award ceremony.

Just this fall, the second chapter of The Morning Show came out and once again exceeded expectations. Though fans are ready for more, Apple hasn't officially renewed the show for season 3 yet. But assuming Apple does, we've got the full scoop on what a third season of the breakfast news program drama could look like.

What's The Morning Show season 3 release date?

While The Morning Show hasn't been officially renewed, it's likely that season 3 will be released on Apple TV+ sometime in the fall of 2022. Season 1 was released in November 2019, while COVID-19 delays pushed back the original season 2 premiere date almost by an entire year. The second season finally hit the streaming platform on September 17 and wrapped up on November 19 of this year.

Who would be in The Morning Show season 3 cast?

Of course, we won't know for sure until season 3 is officially renewed and we get more details about the next chapter of the series. That said, it's a pretty safe bet that the following cast members will return in some capacity:

  • Reese Witherspoon (Bradley Jackson)
  • Jennifer Aniston (Alex Levy)
  • Billy Crudup (Cory Ellison)
  • Mark Duplass (Chip Black)
  • Greta Lee (Stella Bak)
  • Nestor Carbonell (Yanko Flores)
  • Julianna Margulies (Laura Peterson)
  • Karen Pittman (Mia Jordan)
  • Desean Terry (Daniel Henderson)

As for cast members who may be up in the air, some outlets are predicting that we won't be seeing Steve Carell's character, Mitch, anymore after what happened to him in season 2. But who knows, maybe we'll see Mitch in a few flashbacks.

Meanwhile, Radio Times guessed that Bel Powley (a.k.a. Claire) might not be around as much either, considering her reduced role in season 2. Again though, we just have to wait for more info to come out before we can be sure.

What would The Morning Show season 3 be about?

This fall, executive producer Kerry Ehrin dropped a few hints to Deadline about potential storylines that could be explored in season 3. Among the hints, Kerry declared that she thinks there will be a time jump for the next installment. She also believes the season could mark a big turning point for Alex.

"I definitely want to see more of Bradley and Laura," Kerry explained. "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, and 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."

Kerry also said she's "curious" about where the fate of UBA is going and teased that she loves focusing on the Cory-Stella relationship.

"I think they are a great story about sort of the transition of the old world and the new world, and I think they’re both just such rich characters, and I’m excited to see how they develop."
