The Morning Show follows the stars and staff of the titular news program, which is plagued with allegations of misconduct amid the #MeToo movement.
The series has since focused on more real news stories, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the Capitol insurrection and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Season four picks up after TMS co-host Alex Levy (Aniston) sabotaged the sale of the UBA network to her tech billionaire boyfriend Paul Marks’ (Hamm) company Hyperion.
But as UBA continues to merge with another company, the future of its news team remains uncertain.
The cast recently appeared at an Emmy’s For Your Consideration event in Los Angeles, where Aniston, 55, raved that Witherspoon, 48, is like ‘family’ to her.
‘We have a real interesting relationship. It’s like we’re family for sure,’ she said.
‘We love to hate each other, and we love to love each other, and I think that’s sort of a really fun dynamic that Reese and I get to play,’ added Aniston.
Aniston said, ‘And, of course, we would like to be together forever, I would think. I hope, but … we really don’t know what’s going to happen.’

The Golden Globe winner first starred with Witherspoon on a 2000 episode of Friends as sisters Rachel and Jill Green.
They also serve as executive producers on The Morning Show, which has earned multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.
Cotillard’s casting comes after she appeared last year on an episode of the Apple TV+ anthology series Extrapolations.
In 2008, Cotillard became the second French actress to win an Oscar when she took home Best Actress for portraying Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose.
