"From the beginning, Apple has supported our vision for The Morning Show, and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to tell stories that reflect what's happening in the world around us with a twist of dark humor," said Aniston. "It's been such a privilege to work with this insanely talented cast and our extraordinary writers, producers and crew. We've become such a family, and we're all so excited to share this final season. And going in knowing it would be our last, we were so fortunate to craft the conclusion with intentionality and honor these characters the way they deserve."
"The past nine years producing and acting in The Morning Show have been the honor of a lifetime," added Witherspoon. "This was always more than a show about a newsroom - it was a show about why the newsroom matters. About freedom of the press and the journalists who protect the fourth estate, often at great cost. Telling that story has been the creative privilege of my career. Thank you to Apple for their unwavering support, to our visionary writers, our incredible crew, and our extraordinarily talented cast, who brought five seasons to life with a truth audiences believed every step of the way. It has been a stellar creative experience - one I will always treasure."
"Our first order was an important one, and seeing this incredible Apple TV series through from start to finish has been the joy of a lifetime and career," shared Zack Van Amburg, Head of Worldwide Video, Apple. "Jennifer, Reese, Michael and Mimi not only created a series that continually challenged audiences, sparked conversation and stood at the forefront of television over five unforgettable seasons, they also helped launch an entirely new streaming platform with their signature series. The Morning Show team consists of the best cast and crew in television, led by Charlotte Stoudt's exceptional writing and showrunning. As we celebrate this final chapter, while also beginning new ones with these brilliant artists and storytellers, we're endlessly grateful to everyone who made The Morning Show such an enduring part of Apple TV."
"Working alongside storytellers like Jennifer, Reese, Michael, Mimi and Charlotte has been one of the great privileges of building Apple TV," said Jamie Erlicht, Head of Worldwide Video, Apple. "Their extraordinary creative partnership has made The Morning Show one of the defining series of our time. We're profoundly grateful to the artists who poured their talent and passion into this remarkable series, and incredibly proud that the impact of The Morning Show will continue to resonate long after its final season."
"For five seasons, these messy, resilient journalists have chased their dreams," added Stoudt. "Now we'll see where their endeavors lead them - what story they will ultimately choose for themselves. It's been a thrill and a privilege to write for this generous, extraordinary cast."
