Jennifer Aniston stars as Alex Levy in the acclaimed and award-winning Apple Original drama The Morning Show. The actress serves as an executive producer for the series as well. The second season will be a total of ten episodes and debut Friday, September 17 on Apple TV+ with the first episode. New episodes will then be released weekly, every Friday.

Picking up after the explosive events of season one, season two finds The Morning Show team emerging from the wreckage of Alex (Aniston) and Bradley’s (Witherspoon) actions, to a new UBA and a world in flux, where identity is everything and the chasm between who we present as and who we really are comes into play.

Aniston is best known for portraying Rachel Green in the hit series, Friends. The show went on for a total of 10 seasons and recently did a reunion special. This role earned the actress both a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series as well as an Emmy Award for Actress – Comedy Series Primetime.

Notable film credits include We’re the Millers, Cake, Horrible Bosses, Just Go with It, Office Christmas Party, Mother’s Day, Murder Mystery, The Good Girl, He’s Just Not That Into You, Marley & Me, Picture Perfect, Rumor Has It…, She’s the One, and Dumplin’. She also recently founded LolaVie, a haircare brand with a simple premise: you shouldn’t have to choose between products that perform well and those that are good for you.

I had the pleasure of getting to chat with the actress about returning for a second season, what she was most excited for, and what it means to her to highlight such important topics in her work. Watch my interview below to hear what she shared!
