The Morning Show Season 4 Premiere Recap & Speculation: UBA/NBN

Season 3 of The Morning Show has just ended, and the drastic turn of the tables shook the bejesus out of us at the end!

Alex finally snaps out of her ‘love’ for Paul Marks and comprehends his betrayal. Meanwhile, Bradley and Hal turn themselves into the FBI for their shady involvement in the calamitous January 6 insurrection.

After the rollercoaster of a third season, do we get a fourth season at all? If so, what will it be about?

In this article, I’ll try to answer all your questions. Let’s get started!

1. Season 4 Premiere Synopsis/Speculation

Although Apple TV hasn’t released any information about season 4’s plot, the aftermath of the UBA and NBN’s merger will likely play a significant role next season. 

Combining the two companies opens an avenue for getting rid of old characters and introducing fresh blood into the franchise. 

This raises many questions about who will survive, and which programs will be shelved. I’m not even sure if The Morning Show will make the cut!

Moreover, the season 3 finale teased Alex getting a coveted seat at the directorial table. We can finally see her getting a decisive role in the company, which she deserves.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Charlotte Stoudt assured fans that the consequences of season 3 will have a definite influence on every character’s future.

We can expect Bradley and Hal’s tussle with the FBI to continue, and Paul Marks will surely return with his run-of-the-mill Hyperion storyline. 

Finally, as usual, The Morning Show will continue taking inspiration from real-life incidents. So, keep an eye on the news headlines this year!

In this week’s finale, UBA’s sale to Hyperion is stopped when Alex pitches the idea of a UBA-NBN merger to the board. She also confronts Marks about his shady practices and accumulates evidence by tapping into his phone.

Stopping Alex seems to be the entire theme of the finale, and they finally achieve it through a group effort of Kate, Bradley, Stella, and Chip.

Alex, however, was smitten and manipulated by Paul until the very end. In the finale, she finally realizes her follies and ensures the sale doesn’t go through.

Finally, Bradley and Hal turn themselves in to the FBI for their shady actions on the January 6 incident. Hal was directly involved, while Bradley helped cover his tracks by deleting the footage and lying to the authorities.

7. About The Morning Show

The Morning Show (also known as Morning Wars in Australia and Indonesia) is an American drama streaming television series starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell, that premiered on Apple TV+ on November 1, 2019. The series is inspired by Brian Stelter’s book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.

Reese Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson and Jennifer Aniston’s Alex are a newbie and a veteran morning show host, respectively, who are thrown together after Aniston’s former on-air partner (Steve Carell) is fired following a sexual harassment scandal.

Alex (Aniston) fights to retain her job as top news anchor while sparking a rivalry with Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon), a haphazard field reporter whose series of impulsive decisions brings her into a new world of television journalism.
