Season 2 Ending
Season 2 had a lot of drama to unpack and Alex Levy is in the midst of it all.
After just having overcome the grief of losing Mitch, and suffering a breakdown, the season ends with Alex testing positive for COVID-19, which she picked up from her trip to Italy.
“It was relentless! Honestly, I did think at one point the writers were trying to kill me!” Aniston joked in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Rising Like A Phoenix
Former showrunner Kerry Ehrin explained her take on Alex experiencing symptoms, saying it was a symbolism for something more significant to her story.
“The fever to me was almost representative as a fire that burned her, and she rises out of it like a phoenix with a better sense of her true self and the person she wants to be,” Ehrin said in an interview.
'The Morning Show' Season 3 Confirmed
The show is officially confirmed to be returning on Apple TV+ for season 3 but this time with new showrunner Charlotte Stoudt, who has written for Homeland and Fosse/Verdon. Kerry Ehrin will serve as a consultant on season 3.
"We’re excited to see where Charlotte takes these extraordinary characters in season three and to watch the magic that Jennifer, Reese and our awe-inspiring cast continue to bring to the captivating world of morning television," Apple TV+ executive Matt Cherniss said in a statement.
What Will Happen In Season 3?
Details about the upcoming season haven’t been revealed yet but the show will most likely focus on the aftermath of Alex’s COVID-19 illness, as well as tying up Bradley and Cory’s loose ends.
There is also a possibility that season 3 will be backtracking to earlier days. Ehrin has previously hinted that the range of scenarios for the next season is endless.
"You could [jump into the future]. You could go backwards. It’s such an interesting little universe. You really can put it anywhere in time, and I think the challenge of the show is coming up with that big subject," Ehrin explained.
