"Sexual abuser and TV host Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) was constantly scheming to get back on the air before he finally drove off an Italian cliffside. His replacement, Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon), stumbled into the January 6 Capitol Hill insurrection and ran into her brother, then covered up evidence of his involvement. Tech billionaire Paul Marks's (Jon Hamm) spaceship, on which Bradley later travels to space, looks not unlike a dick, and he turns out to be a dick, which is a poetic coincidence."
"For Jennifer Aniston's Alex Levy, the new season opens with a threat to her career: Now that the UBA and NBN networks have merged into UBN, Alex is an executive partially on the hook for UBN's financial choices, including its $8 billion investment in Olympics coverage and the money it's pumping into AI technology for the newsroom. That new responsibility complicates one of the biggest interviews of her career, a sit-down with Iranian fencer Roya Nazeri (Ava Lalezarzadeh)."
Season four of The Morning Show centers on an Iran-focused plot that amplifies the series' tendency toward melodrama and unrealistic portrayals of news events. The show previously sensationalized scandals: sexual abuser Mitch Kessler schemed to return to air before dying in an Italian cliffside crash; Bradley Jackson encountered the January 6 insurrection and concealed her brother's involvement; tech billionaire Paul Marks built a phallic spaceship and proved morally corrupt. The new season places UBN executives, including Alex Levy, under financial pressure after a network merger and massive investments. Alex must navigate a fraught interview with Iranian fencer Roya Nazeri while colleagues fear diplomatic repercussions.
