Production is underway for The Morning Show’s fifth season, with filming beginning in mid-March. The cast is changing too: two stars are exiting, 10 are confirmed to return, and seven new actors have joined the lineup.
The Morning Show is heading back to Apple TV for season five, and the stakes feel just as high as the newsroom it follows.
The drama earned an early renewal last fall, before season four even debuted on the streamer. Now, with filming in motion, the series is already reshaping its own internal balance—who’s staying, who’s leaving, and who’s stepping into new roles as production moves forward.
Filming on the new season kicked off in mid-March and is currently underway. Along with the cameras running, updates have been coming in on the cast: two stars are set to exit, 10 actors are confirmed to return, and seven new actors have been cast for the next chapter.
To understand why these casting changes matter, you have to look at where the story left off. Season four’s timeline begins in “spring 2024,” nearly two years after the events of season three. With the UBA-NBN merger complete. the newsroom faces a new kind of pressure—newfound responsibility inside the workplace. hidden motives. and an increasingly elusive definition of truth in a polarized America.
The show’s world is crowded with distractions and deception: deepfakes, conspiracy theories, and corporate cover-ups. The question becomes less about what happened and more about who you can trust—and how anyone can tell what’s actually real.
With production ongoing. the season five cast update is already giving viewers a clearer sense of how the newsroom’s next fights may be fought. Two exits and a larger return lineup signal continuity. while seven new roles hint at fresh angles—and fresh conflict—in a series built to keep making its audience wonder who’s telling the truth and why.
