The Morning Show Sets Up Season 4 with a Bang: A Review of the Season 3 Finale
The morning after the morning, we’re left reeling from the explosive season 3 finale of Apple TV+’s critically acclaimed series, The Morning Show. As the curtain closes on season 3, the stage is set for a dramatic and unpredictable season 4. In this article, we’ll break down the key plot points and character arcs that will likely drive the narrative of the next installment.
The Aftermath of the #MeToo Reckoning
The season 3 finale picks up where we left off, with Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) still reeling from the fallout of the #MeToo movement. The fallout from the exposé by the investigative journalist, Desi (Nateburg), has left the UBA Morning Show in shambles. The ratings are plummeting, and the network is on the brink of canceling the show.
As the season comes to a close, we see Alex and Bradley struggling to come to terms with their new reality. Alex, once the face of the show, is now facing the very real possibility of being replaced by a younger, more attractive anchor. Bradley, meanwhile, is grappling with the consequences of her own #MeToo moment, where she was accused of assaulting a colleague.
New Alliances and Old Feuds
The season 3 finale also sets up some intriguing new alliances and old feuds that will likely play out in season 4. We see Alex and Bradley forming an unlikely bond, as they work together to salvage their careers and the show. Meanwhile, Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup), the ruthless and cunning network executive, is plotting his next move to take down Alex and Bradley.
The show also tees up a potential love triangle between Bradley, Cory, and their new colleague, Mia Jordan (Janina Gavankar). As Mia becomes more entrenched in the show, we see sparks flying between her and both Bradley and Cory, setting up a juicy love triangle that will likely cause tension and drama in season 4.
The Return of a Beloved Character
In a surprise twist, the season 3 finale sees the return of a beloved character, played by none other than Bradley’s on-again, off-again love interest, Ryan (Will McLaughlin). Ryan’s return sets up a potential love triangle between him, Bradley, and Mia, and raises questions about whether Bradley will ultimately choose to rekindle her romance with Ryan or pursue something new with Mia.
The Future of the Morning Show
As the curtain closes on season 3, the future of the Morning Show is uncertain. Will Alex and Bradley be able to salvage their careers and the show? Will Cory Ellison succeed in his plans to take down his rivals? And what’s next for Bradley, who’s struggling to come to terms with her own #MeToo moment?
With so many unanswered questions, season 4 of The Morning Show is shaping up to be a thrilling ride. The show’s writers have set the stage for a dramatic and unpredictable narrative, filled with twists, turns, and plenty of surprises. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for our favorite characters in the next installment of this critically acclaimed series.
