While it was touch-and-go whether or not Marcia Gay Harden would be able to return as journalist Maggie Brener, Jennifer confirmed in her season 3 wrap post that Marcia will be back in season 3. “If we could work it in so that Maggie could come back for a day or two, I would love that,” Marcia had previously told ET. “She’s got to drum up another interesting story. And I think because of how it was left off, she has to drum it up with a different kind of humanity.”
What Will Happen In The Morning Show Season 3?
The stars have been pretty tight-lipped about The Morning Show season 3 spoilers. However, Jennifer was able to tease the new season during her March 2023 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Everybody has a secret. We’re revealing a lot of secrets. There’s definitely romance,” Jennifer said. She mentioned her new co-star, Jon Hamm, in her interview. “We were very excited to get Mr. Hamm,” the Murder Mystery star gushed.
There will be a bit of a time jump in season 3. “Well, we start after the pandemic,” Karen told E! News in August 2022. “I think I can safely tease that.”

Reese also teased to ET that “there is lots of romance this year.” Jennifer and Jon were spotted a number of times filming scenes for the show, indicating that Alex and Paul could be striking up a romance in season 3. It’s time for Alex to be happy!
Reese revealed that Paul is a “very complex character” in an interview with Deadline. She added, “He’s a media mogul and he gives Billy Crudup a run for his money, which I think is the most fun part too, because Billy could eat a scene like I’ve never seen somebody eat a scene, and Hamm gets to come in and give him a great foil.”
Kerry Ehrin, who stepped down as showrunner ahead of season 3, revealed at the end of season 2 that she definitely wanted to see “more of Bradley and Laura” in season 3. “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,” she told Deadline. “I know these don’t sound like big, hooky plot points, but this is how I begin a story: I begin from what I see inside the character and what I want to experience next with them, and I feel like Alex deserves that at this point. I’m curious where the fate of UBA is going. I love 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.”
Kerry will continue to be a consultant in season 3. Charlotte Stroud took over as showrunner of The Morning Show.
What Happened In Season 2?
The Morning Show season 2 was a whirlwind from start to finish. Mitch Kessler, the controversial morning show host played by Steve Carell, drove his car off a cliff and killed himself. And that was just episode 7 of the second season. Even though Mitch is gone, Paola’s documentary about him is still out there, and Cory may have convinced her to air it.

Season 2 ended in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic with a number of loose ends. Daniel quit his job to be with an elderly loved one during the pandemic. In the season 2 finale, Alex got COVID-19 and ended up detailing her experience with it on the new streaming service UBA+. After a hard year for her, this could signal her big comeback in the public eye.
Meanwhile, Cory finally admitted that he is in love with Bradley, who became romantically involved with Laura in season 2. Bradley wasn’t able to respond to Cory’s declaration of love because she got a call that her brother had been found in a hospital. Cory and Bradley raced to the hospital and walked into a COVID-infested emergency room without any PPE protection.
Reese Witherspoon revealed she’s invested in this love triangle. “I’m really interested in their love triangle between Laura and Cory, the complexity of the chemistry she has with Cory,” the actress told The Hollywood Reporter. “But, again, it’s a person she works with, so I’m really curious how it all plays out.” Billy Crudup admitted that he doesn’t “know what kind of potential there is in the future [with Cory and Bradley].”
As for Bradley’s relationship with her brother, Reese is “really interested in what the next step would be” after the season 2 finale because “it’s such a big piece of her life. Your siblings can really define you, and either help you or torpedo you.”
