Getting to the truth is harder than ever on Apple TV+’s The Morning Show season four. The teaser shows Alex saying, “We have to question everything that we see and we hear, now more than ever.” Meanwhile, Chip needs dirt on someone, while Cory suggests it’s alway nice to get someone else to do your dirty work. Sounds like we’re in for a very juicy season.

Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston lead a cast that includes Billy Crudup, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie, Nestor Carbonell, Mark Duplass, and Greta Lee. Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, Boyd Holbrook, and Jon Hamm also star in season four.

“The Morning Show” is back this fall, and from the looks of the new teaser, things are going to get even more intense. Season 4 of the Apple TV+ drama drops on September 17, and this time it’s all about artificial intelligence, deepfakes, and the blurred lines between truth and lies.

The show has always pulled from real-world events, and this season is no different. Past seasons tackled the pandemic and the January 6 insurrection. Now, AI takes the spotlight, raising some big questions about what’s real and who can be trusted. The official logline from Apple says the Uba and Nbn networks have finished their merger, and now the team has to deal with “newfound responsibility, hidden motives and the elusive nature of truth in a polarized America.” It also warns of “deepfakes, conspiracy theories and corporate cover-ups.”

In the teaser, Jennifer Aniston’s Alex walks along a row of windows.

After two years Apple TV+’s flagship series “The Morning Show” will return to the streamer this September, and this time Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) and Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) are facing heightened responsibilities and scrutiny from the public.

The fourth season, which was delayed by SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes in 2023, jumps ahead two years to take place in spring 2024. The Uba-nbn merger was finalized after Alex successfully usurped her tech billionaire love interest, Paul Marks (Jon Hamm), and blocked his potential acquisition of the network. Now, the newsroom faces a new challenge in appealing to the public as truth is constantly in question and the country is more polarized than ever.

“We have to question everything we see and we hear now more than ever,” Aniston said in the Season 4 teaser.

From an Apple press release: “In a world rife with deepfakes, conspiracy theories and corporate cover-ups — who can you trust? And how can you know what’s actually real?” The teaser of Alex and Bradley walking past a reflective wall in slow motion looks deliberately artificial as a result — to...

Exclusive: A sought after drama project from The Loudest Voice co-creator Alex Metcalf has landed at HBO for development. Titled Baby Queen, it is based on the upcoming debut novel of the same name by southern crime fiction writer Ty Landers. The book became a hot commodity; its rights sparked a 10-way bidding war won by Michael Ellenberg’s Media Res (The Morning Show) which set up the project at HBO with Jessica Rhoades’ Pacesetter Productions (Black Mirror) also producing.

Written by Metcalf based on Landers’ novel, Baby Queen centers on Natalie Link who returns home to take over her family’s honey business — but when a body is discovered on the property, three generations of women are forced to confront the secrets, betrayals, and buried crimes that haunt their Southern legacy.

The novel is set in Landers’ home state of Alabama.

Can you guess who it is? You know him, you love him, and he's been a standout in both television and film. It's none other than Jeremy Allen White!

Most people will recognize White from his iconic role as Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto in the Golden Globe Award-winning comedy-drama series The Bear.

Thomas Vinterberg is the guest of honor at Sweden’s Göteborg Film Festival where, this evening, he hosted a screening of his second feature Festen.

Directed by Vinterberg from a screenplay he co-wrote with Mogens Rukov, Festen debuted 26-year-ago in Cannes and famously launched, along with Lars von Trier’s The Idiots, the avant-garde Dogme 95 film movement.

“It was like a strike of enlightenment,” Vinterberg said of the launch of Dogme, which called on filmmakers to discard the modern trinkets of contemporary filmmaking for a stripped-back, traditional approach to cinema. The Danish filmmaker was in conversation this evening with Göteborg festival head Pia Lundberg.

However, Vinterberg said the journey to being accepted as a Dogme filmmaker wasn’t as smooth as the legend has it.
