The Morning Show has been renewed for season 3, adding a new showrunner in the process. The Apple TV+ series stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon as two co-hosts of a morning news program. The series also stars Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, and Steve Carell, and added many known actors in season 2, including Hasan Minhaj and Julianna Margulies. With Aniston and Witherspoon serving as executive producers, the show was headed by Kerry Ehrin, best known for writing and producing Friday Night Lights and co-creating Bates Motel.

Now, Collider has brought word that The Morning Show has been picked up for season 3, and Ehrin will step down as showrunner, being replaced by Charlotte Stoudt, known for writing and producing Homeland, House of Cards, and Fosse/Verdon. Ehrin will continue to serve as a consultant for the upcoming season. Stoudt's statement and a statement from Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+ can be read below:

Charlotte Stoudt:

“I’m excited to be joining forces with Apple TV+ and The Morning Show. The cast, led by the phenomenal Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, are truly to die for. Kerry, Mimi and Michael, and the teams at Media Res, Hello Sunshine and Echo Films, have created an irresistible world that is equally delicious and provocative.”

Matt Cherniss:

“It has been thrilling to watch The Morning Show go from strength to strength over the past two seasons, exploring topical storylines that have resonated with audiences around the world while also being incredibly addictive and entertaining. We’re excited to see where Charlotte takes these extraordinary characters in season three and to watch the magic that Jennifer, Reese and our awe-inspiring cast continue to bring to the captivating world of morning television.”

There has been a lot of speculation regarding whether if The Morning Show would continue after its second season, but given the show's success with audiences and the awards it has received, the renewal comes as no surprise. The series has tackled multiple storylines relevant to current events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, cancel culture, and sexual misconduct scandals. Ehrin previously hinted that season 3 would jump ahead from the last season's events, and it will be interesting to see where the show will go under the control of Stoudt.
