Apple TV took to their official Instagram page as they announced that the brand new season is all set to return on September 14, 2025. The plot of the new season will begin with a time leap. The story will begin nearly two years after the events of Season 3 ended. The makers also shared a series of first-look pictures to give a glimpse of both the new and returning cast. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Apple TV (@appletv) What Popular American drama series The Morning Show is all set to return for Season 4 on September 14, 2025. Led by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, newcomers Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper and Boyd Holbrook have joined the cast. Returning stars include Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee, Nicole Beharie, and Jon Hamm. The new season will begin with a time leap of two years after the events of Season 3 ended. Showrunner Charlotte Stoudt's Reaction To Season 3 Finale In conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, the showrunner Charlotte Stoudt spoke about how the writers invited troubles with the Season 3 finale cliffhanger. Even though it showcased the lead characters Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) going on diverging paths, they would eventually find their way back to each other in Season 4. The showrunner said, "Because that's the core of the show. People appreciated that they were together but not together. That's the contradiction. Everybody has to face what they have to face. There is accountability, but it's not bleak. Even when you have to be accountable for something, life can go on." The Plot The storyline revolves around Alex Levy who co-headlines The Morning Show (TMS), one of Manhattan''s popular morning show program broadcasts. The TRP is excellent and it is touted to have changed the face of American television altogether. The first season sees Alex's co-anchor Mitch Kessler (Steve Carrell), fired due to sexual misconduct. Alex fights to stay strong when she is joined by a field reported Bradley Jackson. The story then unravels to show how Bradley's impulsiveness threatens the network's reputation. The second season sees the network CEO work out a way to convince Alex to return to work and her hugely successful morning show. As the pandemic takes over the world, Bradley goes through an identity crisis. The third season focuses on how the network struggles to retain viewership for its subscription service. In A Nutshell Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon-led The Morning Show enjoys a massive fandom. The show which has had an incredible run for three seasons, is all set to return with Season 4 on September 14, 2025.

‘Using it to brag': The children of the rich and famous are dividing by jumping on a viral trend
The privileged offspring of the rich and famous have finally found a social media trend where they can flaunt their nepotism. Pretty much every week there is a new trend taking over TikTok, but the latest 'air ball' trend has caught the attention of nepo babies. It's pretty simple. An air ball is a basketball term for when a player shoots and misses, and Gen Zers are using the reference to make TikToks about when someone makes an assumption about them and completely misses the mark. It started out pretty wholesome. Someone might share a time when someone assumed they didn't run and then reveal a photo of them coming first in a marathon or a woman might reveal she'd told a man she worked in a hospital and he assumed she was a nurse, but the mic drop would be that she's a neurosurgeon. Then entered the nepo babies, who are using the trend, not to flex about their own achievements, but share when people haven't realised they're either from a famous or rich family. Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon's lookalike daughter, Ava, 25, took to social media and joined the trend. The 25-year-old took to social media and name-dropped, not just her famous mum, but her most famous movie. 'I told him my mum's a lawyer, and he said, 'Oh what firm does she work at?'' she wrote. Then she cut to a behind-the-scenes photo of her and her Oscar winning mum on the set of Legally Blonde, where Witherspoon plays a lawyer and wrote 'Holy-fricking air ball'. That clip has over 2 million views, and the most liked comment on the video is 'You won this trend,' with over 30,000 likes. Similarly, another famous offspring, Alianna Thiam, jumped on the trend and wrote, 'I told him my dad's in the music industry. He said, 'Oh, like a manager?' Then, the clip was cut to a photo to reveal that her dad is the musician Akon. 'Holy-freaking-air ball,' she wrote. Once again, the most liked comment on the clip is 'Pack it up everyone, she won,' with over 70,000 likes. Even the children of famous Aussies are getting into the trend. Madi Page wrote, 'I told him my dad works in the music and entertainment industry. 'He said, 'Oh, cute like a producer?'' Then she revealed her dad was Greg Page from The Wiggles. 'That's the flexiest flex I've seen. What's it like being the child of royalty?,' the most liked comment asked. It also isn't just the children of famous people embracing the trend, it's also the offspring of the incredibly wealthy and powerful. Greyson Abercrombie, 20, wrote on TikTok, 'Told her 'my parents own a clothing store' and she said 'oh so like a boutique?'' Then the video cuts to himself standing outside an Abercrombie store one of the largest retail chains in America. Similarly, Shayla Forbes-Luong shared online, 'Told him my family owns a magazine company, 'oh like a local paper?'' Then, the video cuts to a photo of Forbes Magazine, the magazine her great-grandfather co-founded, with the words 'air ball' written across the photo. The most liked comment on that video, which has 16 million views, reads, 'Okay, but did you guys see Akon's daughter do the trend? I'm living for these quiet nepotism babies.' It amassed over 200,000 likes. Popular fashion and culture Instagram account Diet Prada, which has over 3 million followers, posted about the trend and claimed it is proof that 'stealth wealth' is officially out and bragging is very much in. 'From old-money dynasties to household names, the app is suddenly crawling with twenty-somethings using the moment to humblebrag their family legacies,' the post reads. The post was divided, with some claiming it was fun to see people revealing their famous families and others finding it 'cringe' tone deaf. 'I kind of live for this' one wrote. 'Congrats on your parent's accomplishments very cool,' another mocked. 'As subtle as a gold Rolex flex, congratulations on being born I guess,' another claimed. 'These people have everything yet are so desperate for attention,' someone else said. 'I love this,' one praised. 'This makes me nauseous!' someone else revealed. 'Taking a trend where people proudly share their own accomplishments and using it to brag about your family's success that has nothing to do with you? Exactly the kind of tone-deaf behaviour I'd expect from nepo babes,' one snapped. 'As they SHOULD. Imagine hating someone because their successful parents decided to have kids,' someone else argued.

Nepo babies are using the ‘holy airball' TikTok trend to humble brag about their famous parents
The 'holy airball' trend that's all over your For You page is the latest way the internet is sharing humble brags. The videos, which have amassed millions of views on TikTok over the past few weeks, follow the same formula: a person shares a statement, the next slide is an assumption often leveled at them, followed by the more impressive truth. The videos are soundtracked to 'Soul Survivor' by Jeezy featuring Akon, and the final slide always references the now viral phrase holy airball —a basketball term for when someone takes a shot and misses the basket. Many have used the trend to brag about their achievements or joke about their unexpected personality traits or life circumstances. An example would be if someone assumes that your family owns a local store, but your family actually own a huge conglomerate. As the trend has gained momentum, the nepo babies have now entered the chat. 'Told him my mom's a lawyer,' Ava Phillipe wrote in a TikTok video posted on Monday. 'He said 'oh, what firm does she work at.' The following slides are of the Elle Woods from the 2001 film Legally Blonde. Reese Witherspoon, who played Woods, is Phillipe's mother. 'Told him my dad was in the music industry,' Alianna Thiam wrote in a TikTok posted last week. 'He said 'Oh like a manager?' Next are pictures of Thiam with her father, the singer Akon. 'Bro literally made the trend,' she added. Akon cowrote and is featured on the song that accompanies the trend. 'The fact this trend is to his song is iconic for you,' one person commented. 'Trend over, you win,' another added. A third example comes from the TikTok account of Francesca Scorsese. 'I told him 'my dad is a filmmaker,' she wrote. No prizes for guessing who appears on the following slide. 'Ok we can't top this y'all,' one comment read. Other TikTok accounts are capitalizing off their famous last names and confusing the internet in the process. There's Abigail McDonald, who wrote 'told him my family owns a food place' / he said, 'oh so like a small business.'' The next slide shows an image of the fast-food chain McDonald's. A TikTok account for Gracie Abercrombie posted, 'told him 'my family owns a clothing store.' The next slide is a photo of the popular clothing store Abercrombie & Fitch.

Is Reese Witherspoon's New Furniture Worth Buying? Here's Our Honest Review of the Draper James x Polywood Collection
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, The Hollywood Reporter may receive an affiliate commission. Reese Witherspoon has long been the queen of Southern charm, whether she's gracing the screen or launching stylish collections through her lifestyle brand, Draper James. Now, she's bringing that signature grace outdoors — literally — with a brand-new patio furniture collaboration. More from The Hollywood Reporter The 73 Most Dazzling Jewelry Gifts From Celebrity-Owned and Hollywood-Loved Labels Peacock's Best Subscription Deal for Spring Ends Soon: Here's How to Save Nearly 70 Percent Off 'The Morning Show' Sets Return Date With Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon (and Jon Hamm) Back for Season 4 Time Jump When the opportunity came to try a few pieces from the collection, I had high expectations. Polywood has a solid reputation for building sturdy, eco-friendly outdoor furniture, and this collaboration promised to blend that durability with Draper James' signature Southern charm. If you're in the market for new patio furniture, here's the low-down on Polywood from customization to unboxing to backyard lounging. The Draper James x Polywood collection pairs Witherspoon's timeless eye for detail with Polywood's eco-conscious craftsmanship. The result: a collection that feels thoughtfully designed and effortlessly refined. The silhouettes are clean and classic — rockers with just the right sway, deep-seated chairs that invite you to sink in and dining sets that tie it all together. This is the kind of patio setup that makes you want to pour a lemonade — or grab a Reese's Book Club read — and stay a while. Every piece of furniture we tested held up against the elements, from sunny weather to hailstorms. They're nearly kid-proof, too: Whether it's a sticky popsicle, a dropped juice box or a spontaneous round of chair jumping, we found that the seating handled it all. Pros: Many customization options Easy to assemble and clean Weather-, sun- and mold-resistant materials 20-year warranty Cons: Made-to-order, 2-4 weeks for delivery Shipment includes many large boxes The Draper James x Polywood collection comes in eight lumber colors, from crisp white to rich wood tones and a bold forest green. The cushion options are just as varied, with dozens of styles ranging from classic solids to playful ginghams and timeless stripes. You can even order samples of both lumber and cushion fabrics — a thoughtful touch that makes it easier to find the perfect match for your space. For our set, I chose the Vintage Sahara finish with Dune Burlap cushions. With two active toddlers, we try to stick to pieces that can handle the daily mess (like our Ruggable rugs and Article couch), so white —though so pretty — was out of the question. The Dune Burlap felt like the best compromise — warm, neutral and forgiving. It ended up looking a lot less brown and more creamy in person than I expected from the website, which was a nice surprise, making it an even better fit for our space. The Vintage Sahara finish is part of their vintage collection and only available directly on Polywood's website. Buy at Draper James, $3,149 Each piece is made to order, which means there's a bit of a wait involved while your furniture is crafted and shipped. For me, it took about three weeks for my order to arrive. The pieces are delivered on pallets in large boxes, and while this can make for a slightly overwhelming delivery day, the assembly process is fairly straightforward. Polywood includes all the necessary screws, tools and clear instructions, making it possible to go from box to backyard in just a few hours. It took me about two and a half hours to assemble the furniture I received, and while it's a bit of a workout, the result is well worth the effort. Once assembled, the furniture feels substantial and sturdy, without any of the wobble or creak that can plague lesser outdoor sets. What impressed me most was the look and feel of the 'wood.' The material has a solid, weighty feel that instantly gives off a sense of durability. It's made in the USA from high-density polyethylene lumber (a.k.a. recycled plastic) and holds up impressively well in all kinds of weather. Hardware is made from 18-8 marine-grade quality stainless steel with a Xylan coating, which Polywood says helps the metal resist corrosion no matter the climate. The products come with a 20-year warranty, adding to the peace of mind that they're built to last. Since receiving the furniture, it's already gone through a few rainstorms, even a recent hailstorm and wind gusts. It's mentioned on their site that there isn't a need to cover. I was skeptical about not covering my new furniture, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it dried and did not leave watermarks. The material was not only waterspot-free, there was also not a single dent in sight. Cleanup is straightforward, too: Polywood says its furniture requires just a little soap and water to keep the material looking fresh. The cushions are equally impressive and are made of outdoor performance fabric that's resistant to mildew, mold, salt, sun and moisture. All of those features combined to deliver plush and supportive seating designed for hours of relaxed lounging, even after they endured their fair share of weather. Buy at Draper James, $3,049 The Draper James collection also has an adorable kids' selection that brings the same timeless design and all-weather durability to pint-sized patios. Mini rockers, benches and table sets are the perfect way to let the little ones join in the fun. These scaled-down versions are just as tough as their full-sized counterparts, making them a practical choice for families who want to create an outdoor space that works for everyone. Buy at Draper James, $229 Overall, the Draper James x Polywood collection delivers on its promise of style, comfort and durability. It's a smart investment for anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space with pieces that are both beautiful and built to last. With a range of customization options, low-maintenance and sturdy design and Reese Witherspoon's impeccable taste, it's an easy pick for anyone tired of flimsy, disposable patio furniture. If you're ready to give your outdoor space a bit of Southern charm with a side of sustainability, this collaboration is well worth considering. It's functional and photogenic, which feels like the exact balance Witherspoon would want for quiet brunches and backyard bashes alike. Draper James x Polywood Furniture Collection Specifications Price range: $79 for side tables to $4,749 for nine-piece dining sets Shipping and returns: Free Fulfillment: Minimum 14 days Warranty: 20 years for residential use Best of The Hollywood Reporter From 'Lady in the Lake' to 'It Ends With Us': 29 New and Upcoming Book Adaptations in 2024 Meet the Superstars Who Glam Up Hollywood's A-List Rosie O'Donnell on Ellen, Madonna, Trump and 40 Years in the Queer Spotlight
