The “game is changing” inThe Morning Show’s sophomore run.
In the ten-episode season, airing between Sept. 17 to Nov. 19, UBA is now forced to deal with the aftermath of co-hosts Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson’s (Reese Witherspoon) exposing the network’s toxic workplace culture on-air. They are also faced with new problems, including the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, an exposé about the behind-the-scenes troubles and racism within the network.
Steve Carell,Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman,Bel Powley, Desean Terry, Janina Gavankar, Tom Irwin andMarcia Gay Hardenare in the cast. And Greta Lee, Ruairi O’Connor,Hasan Minhaj,Holland Taylor, Tara Karsian, Valeria Golino andJulianna Marguliesjoin for season 2.
In the trailer, UBA executive Cory Ellison (Crudup) says that “the game is changing at UBA” as ratings are down, and that he needs to “ensure the stability” of the network. Cory then asks Alex to return to her longtimeMorning Showco-hosting duties after an earlier depature.
“Alex, I need you to come back. You are the only thing that can save us,” Cory says before laughing and adding, “I don’t think I’ve ever said that before.”
But Bradley isn’t ready to provide Alex with a warm welcome, saying she’s “not going to get edged out.”
“I feel like you’re bringing in my big sister to clean up my mess,” Bradley says.

And the women’s opposing agendas appear to be at the forefront of the upcoming season as they struggle with how to navigate the future.
“We need to get our facts straight. We need to decide what the truth is,” Alex says during a lunch with Bradley, as she replies, “Did you hear what you just said?”
The new trailer also addresses many additional shakeups. Laura Peterson (Margulies) approaches Bradley and suggests that UBA isn’t using her talents in “the right way.”
WhileMorning Showproducer Mia Jordan (Pittman) tells weekend co-host Daniel Henderson (Terry) that the network doesn’t believe he has “the ‘It’ factor” and is “looking to showcase some new talent,” Stella notes that “the jury’s still out” on whether Alex’s efforts last season were “successful.”
