Marion Cotillard has joined the cast of “The Morning Show” Season 4.
The Oscar-winning actress will star as Celine Dumont, a savvy operator from a storied European family, in the fourth installment of the Apple TV+ drama series. Cotillard joins returning cast members Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee, Jon Hamm and Nicole Beharie.
Season 4 will pick up in the aftermath of the Season 3 finale, which saw Alex (Aniston) attempt to halt the acquisition — and impending dissolution — of Uba by suggesting a merger between Uba and Nbn.
Cotillard is best known for starring in “Allied,” “Inception,” “La Vie en Rose,” “Rust and Bone,” “Two Days, One Night,” “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Assassin’s Creed.” She also recently starred in an episode of the Apple TV+ series “Extrapolations” alongside Forest Whitaker.

Theresa Kang, founder and CEO of Blue Marble Pictures and Blue Marble Productions, has never followed someone else’s script for success. That’s telegraphed by the company’s name — inspired by the iconic photo of Earth taken from space just over 50 years ago, it speaks to the fearless exploration of new frontiers — and the singular, residential vibe of its Los Angeles headquarters.
“I wanted a space that felt calm and beautiful while also having a structure to it that felt strong, where there was balance between femininity and masculinity,” explains the agent turned manager and producer. She’d always dreamed of having a place where clients and collaborators — including Alfonso Cuarón, Hillman Grad, Justin Chon and Kerry Ehrin, who’s adapting The White Darkness, starring Tom Hiddleston, as part of Blue Marble’s multiyear producing deal for Apple TV+ — would feel comfortable hanging out anytime. “I wanted it to...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from the Season 3 finale of “The Morning Show.”
Another outing of the sometimes hilarious, sometimes devastating, always thrilling “The Morning Show” has come to pass.
Season 3 finale “The Overview Effect” sees Alex (Jennifer Aniston) realize who and what was important to her. Bradley’s abrupt on-air resignation from Uba, timed to a new article about Cory (Billy Crudup) allegedly grooming her, shakes Alex to her core, and that’s before Paul (Jon Hamm) tells her about Bradley’s cover-up of Hal’s (Joe Tippett) involvement with the Jan. 6 insurrection. But when she goes to Bradley’s apartment to confront her, the conversation only makes her realize that Paul may not be who he seems.
At first, Alex thinks Bradley is crazy for insinuating that Paul may have been surveilling Bradley’s private communications. But she sends Bradley a text that incorrectly mentions Bradley being from Hanover,...

[This story contains spoilers from the finale of The Morning Show season three, “The Overview Effect.”]
The Morning Show’s season three finale is the first time a season of the Apple TV+ series didn’t end with a black screen.
Both seasons one and two had wrapped with a broadcast that cut to black, delivering back-to-back cliffhanger endings that provided then-showrunner Kerry Ehrin, who developed the series, and the writers with enough runway to completely shift the series when it returned. When Ehrin departed as showrunner after season two (she remains on the series as a consultant and has an overall deal with Apple), Charlotte Stoudt says there were enough breadcrumbs in the season two finale for her to piece together and begin to plot season three, which released its finale Wednesday after a weekly 10-episode season.
“There was a lot of opportunity to play with what [Kerry] left on the table,” Stoudt, who has worked on Fosse/Verdon,...

The first moments of The Morning Show’s season three trailer look like office politics as usual, with Jennifer Aniston’s Alex Levy and Billy Crudup’s Cory Ellison arguing over what’s apparently an “unprecedented” ask from Alex.
Things take a turn, however, when Uba gets hacked, setting up what looks to be the central crisis for the drama’s coming season, which premieres Sept. 13. While Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) announces the cyberattack on the air, everyone worries about what secrets will come out in its aftermath — and the potential “financial disaster,” as Cory puts it, that could accompany it.
Enter Jon Hamm’s Paul Marks. The Mad Men star will play a tech mogul whose money can help keep Uba solvent but will likely come with strings attached. He also seems to have a past with Alex that raises a few eyebrows within the network.

Laura Peterson hive, rejoice! Julianna Margulies — who plays an anchor at Uba, a love interest for Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) and the former rival of Alex (Jennifer Aniston) — will return to “The Morning Show” for its third season. The Apple TV+ series is currently in production, and recently announced that Jon Hamm has joined the Season 3 cast.
Margulies’ Laura made quite an impression in the show’s second season, when she began dating Bradley before they co-anchored “The Morning Show” together. She will return in a major recurring role, according to Apple, similar to Season 2.

Apple TV+’s Morning Show is bringing back a familiar face for its third season.
Julianna Margulies will reprise her role as Uba news anchor Laura Peterson in the forthcoming season. As she did in season two last year, the Emmy winner will have a heavily recurring part on the series. News of Margulies’ return follows that of Jon Hamm joining the cast as a “corporate titan” who sets his sights on acquiring Uba.
The third season is in production now; a premiere date hasn’t been determined.
Margulies’ character shook up the dynamic between morning anchors Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) last season, eventually beginning a relationship with Bradley.

Earlier this year, the Apple TV+ series "The Morning Show" was renewed for a third season, with most of its ensemble cast members set to return. The show features Jennifer Aniston as news anchor Alex Levy and Reese Witherspoon as field reporter Bradley Jackson. It follows Alex struggling to keep her job when a rivalry begins to brew between her and Jackson; an impulsive decision-maker who is quickly rising to the top. The series is an unapologetic, outspoken drama that showcases the ruthless world of morning news through the lens of the people that work there. The series has often gone through last-minute rewrites to incorporate major, ongoing real-life events, including the #MeToo movement and the Covid-19 pandemic.
While the first season of "The Morning Show" followed Alex fighting hard to retain her job as the top news anchor after her on-air partner of 15 years, Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell), is...

The addition of The Morning Show’s newest cast member Jon Hamm has “everybody excited.” Emmy-nominee Reese Witherspoon said Friday during an FYC event at The Edition hotel in West Hollywood.
As she prepared to begin production that same day, Witherspoon discussed Hamm joining for Season 3 as media mogul Paul Marks. “I might have gotten a lot of phone calls from my friends when they announced Jon Hamm,” she said.
“He is the greatest,” she added. “It’s such a good part too. You’re just going to get the full Hamm. Wait, that didn’t sound right,” she laughed.
“He is a very complex character,” she continued. “He’s a media mogul and he gives Billy Crudup a run for his money, which I think is the most fun part too, because Billy could eat a scene like I’ve never seen somebody eat a scene, and Hamm gets...

One of the most pleasant surprises to have arisen out of “The Morning Show” is Billy Crudup’s scene-stealing turn as cutthroat network executive Cory Ellison. The role has brought the actor awards galore, including his first Emmy nomination and win, which he earned for the Apple TV+ drama’s debut season in 2020. Two years later, he’s nominated again in the category from which he walked away triumphant, Best Drama Supporting Actor, for the show’s second season. “It’s just the gift that keeps on giving,” Crudup told Gold Derby in a new webchat (watch the exclusive video interview above). “Getting to play somebody that extravagant in a show with that kind of ambitions has already exceeded my expectations for almost any project, so to have people watch it and recognize it too is a great honor.”

After a seven-year run on The Good Wife, three-time Emmy winner Julianna Margulies is more selective than ever about where she lands. In joining The Morning Show as Laura Peterson, an anchor who, after being outed in the ’90s and losing her position at the titular show, re-emerges as one of the country’s top journalists, Margulies says the opportunity to portray an LGBTQ character at the top of her game was too good to pass up. Here, she discusses her chemistry with on-screen love interest Reese Witherspoon, a powerplay with Jennifer Aniston and the feeling of portraying extreme confidence.
Deadline: You can be really discerning in terms of work at this point in your career. What was it about The Morning Show that fulfilled your criteria?
Julianna Margulies: One, I was already a huge fan of the show. Two, I had never played a character like Laura Peterson.

Most known for her roles on “ER” and “The Good Wife,” Julianna Margulies knows what it’s like to be part of a TV show from the very beginning. In the case of Apple TV+‘s “The Morning Show,” however, the three-time Emmy winner had a different entry point, joining the acclaimed drama in its second season as Laura Peterson. “At first, I was a little bit intimidated — not by the cast, but just because I know what it’s like to already be in a moving machine that’s well oiled,” she tells Gold Derby in a new webchat in regard to boarding the show in Season 2 (watch our exclusive video interview above). But settling in was not difficult for the actor, who was already friendly with series regulars Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Billy Crudup and had previously worked with executive producer Mimi Leder and director Lesli Linka Glatter,...

Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show” started with a man at the center.
Season 1 began with Steve Carell’s Mitch Kessler getting fired from a popular morning talk show following complaints of sexual harassment. However, instead of focusing on Mitch, creator Kerry Ehrin leaned in on those whom his actions impacted: The women steering the ship.
Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Karen Pittman led that journey in Season 1, which earned eight Emmy nominations, while Greta Lee and Julianna Margulies joined the second season.
Season 2 of the drama continued tracking the fallout of Mitch’s firing, while tackling the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Both seasons were intense to shoot, with what was happening in real life — no one expected the pandemic would still be going on years later.
Season 2 was “awful,” mentally, says Aniston, who also executive produces the drama. That said, there was a silver lining.

“The whole season was very much about the disparity between how we present ourselves, in this age of social media, and who we really are,” says The Morning Show showrunner Kerry Ehrin. “Sometimes the presentation becomes more important than who we really are.” That theme comes to a head with the final moments of the Apple TV+ series’ second season, which sees Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) battling Covid and delivering an emotional monologue to Tms viewers after a tell-all book reveals the truth of her off-camera relationship with co-anchor Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell).

“The shows we’re focused on, they’re all made with love, they’re all made by hand and we pour our hearts and souls [into them],” proclaims executive producer Michael Ellenberg about what keeps a producer up at night — not whether a show will be a success or a failure, but what if nobody cares? “The greatest fear,” he says about the prospect of a project getting lost in the noise of an overcrowded market.

Just a few weeks into filming, production on the second season of Apple TV+‘s “The Morning Show” had to shut down in early 2020 due the then-oncoming Covid-19 pandemic. Even though more than half of the season had already been written at that point, the writers decided to rewrite it in order to incorporate what would become the global health crisis of our time into the original storyline. For re-recording mixer Elmo Ponsdomenech, addressing the pandemic within the story was an emotional undertaking. “I won’t lie to you: during the first episode, it was a bit emotional seeing… a pan across [an empty] New York City,” he admits in a new webchat with Gold Derby. “It’s not the New York that most of us know or know of, so it made the hairs on your arm stand up a little bit.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Apple TV+‘s “The Morning Show” was three and a half weeks into filming when production on its second season was forced to shut down in early 2020 due the then-oncoming Covid-19 pandemic. Although more than half of the second season had already been written at that point, the writers decided to rewrite it in order to incorporate what would become the global health crisis of our time into the original storyline. This decision, of course, had a significant effect on the entire production of the season. “After Covid, they decided that everything was going to get bigger and go around the world,” says production designer Nelson Coates, who boarded the show ahead of Season 2, in a new webchat with Gold Derby.

The debut season of Apple TV+‘s “The Morning Show” ended with a bang as its finale sees the titular daily morning news program’s anchors, Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon), expose the Uba network and its president (Tom Irwin) for their knowledge of sexual misconduct and the creation of a toxic culture. Although the second season exhaustively explores the fallout of these dramatic events, it took on a new shape after the Covid-19 pandemic befell the world in early 2020 and became the defining global health crisis of our time. “In a story about news, you can’t pretend like it didn’t happen,” “The Morning Show” showrunner Kerry Ehrin tells Gold Derby in our exclusive video interview (watch above) about the importance of weaving the pandemic into the drama’s second season.

Nestor Carbonell may not know what’s coming up in The Morning Show Season 3, but he does know what he wants for his character and the trajectory of the show after what we’ve seen so far. “I hope I get in a world of trouble, selfishly, because I always have fun being in the middle of a storm,” the actor, who plays weatherman Yanko Flores, told TV Insider recently while discussing his second turn in the director’s chair for New Amsterdam. In general, he hopes to see more of the show tackling topical issues, as it has in the past. “Kerry Ehrin in the first two seasons did such a phenomenal job of exploring the gray areas of controversial issues and not necessarily commenting on them or excusing them, but certainly giving them a voice so that the audience can sort of make up their own mind,” he said of the former showrunner,...

“Don’t Look Up” and “Coda” have won the top feature film awards from the Writers Guild of America, which held its annual WGA Awards on Sunday evening.
On the heels of its Producers Guild Award victory on Saturday, “Coda” kicked off the show by winning the first award of the night, for Best Adapted Screenplay. The category also included “Dune,” “Nightmare Alley,” “tick, tick…Boom!” and “West Side Story” — but two of the biggest challengers to “Coda” in the Oscar race for adapted screenplay, “The Power of the Dog” and “The Lost Daughter,” were not eligible for the award because of WGA regulations.
In the Best Original Screenplay category, “Don’t Look Up” scored a surprise victory over “Licorice Pizza,” which was favored to take the award, and “King Richard.” Two other Oscar nominees, “Belfast” and “The Worst Person in the World,” were ineligible.

The category also included “Dune,” “Nightmare Alley,” “tick, tick…Boom!” and “West Side Story” — but two of the biggest challengers to “Coda” in the Oscar race for adapted screenplay, “The Power of the Dog” and “The Lost Daughter,” were not eligible for the award because of WGA regulations.
In the Best Original Screenplay category, “Don’t Look Up” scored a surprise victory over “Licorice Pizza,” which was favored to take the award, and “King Richard.” Two other Oscar nominees, “Belfast” and “The Worst Person in the World,” were ineligible.

You made it through the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Directors Guild Awards, and the Producers Guild Awards, too. The wait for the Oscars is almost over, but one more major guild had yet to give out its trophies before the Academy Awards. Tonight, Hollywood’s top writers came together for the Writers Guild of America Awards, which honored the finest achievements in film and television writing.
On the film side, the nominees were actually quite different from what you’ll see at the Oscars next week. In the Original Screenplay category, “Licorice Pizza,” “Don’t Look Up,” and “King Richard” were still nominated, but “Belfast” and “The Worst Person in the World” were replaced with “Being the Ricardos.” The Adapted Screenplay category was even more distinct, with only two Oscar contenders (“Dune” and “Coda”) nominated.
But it ultimately did not matter, as two Oscar nominees took the top prizes. “Coda...

Sunday’s 74th Writers Guild of America Awards will wrap up the guild season, along with the American Society of Cinematographers Awards. Will the winners be an Oscar preview?
“Licorice Pizza,” written by Paul Thomas Anderson, and “Coda,” by Sian Heder, are favored to win Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, respectively. However, they are not facing off against many of their Oscar rivals as the WGA’s rules have rendered several scripts ineligible, including Oscar nominees “Belfast” and “The Worst Person in the World” in original, and “Drive My Car,” “The Lost Daughter” and “The Power of the Dog” in adapted. But if they both prevail, they will have bagged the two top industry prizes as they won at BAFTA last weekend right in the middle of final Oscar voting (it ends Tuesday).

“We were so over the moon by these nominations, just because I feel like other writers’ opinions are the ones that end up mattering the most because your peers are the people who really understand how difficult this is,” says “Yellowjackets” creator Ashley Lyle about the recognition she received from her peers in the Writers Guild of America. We talked with Lyle for our panel of 2022 WGA Award nominees along with Sarah Burgess (“Impeachment: American Crime Story”), Kerry Ehrin (“The Morning Show”), John Hoffman (“Only Murders in the Building”) and Drew Michael (“Red Blue Green”).

“It was a lot of work,” remembers “The Morning Show” showrunner Kerry Ehrin about the unique challenges of season two of the Apple TV+ drama series. The new season had just started filming when Covid-19 brought production to a halt in March 2020. Then the team regrouped to incorporate Covid into the storyline. But “once you get a concept for how you’re going to do it, then you’re just executing it … so we rolled up our sleeves and no one knew what was going to happen.” We talked with Ehrin as part of our Writers Guild Awards nominees panel. Watch our exclusive video interview above.
