Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - The Morning Show - Season Three

The third season of Apple TV+'s hit series The Morning Show is back. Well season three just concluded. As the network struggles for viewers for its subscription service and contemplates a take-over by tech titan Paul Marks. I smashed this back to back to back. No week to week for me with the third season of Morning Wars or is it The Morning Show.

Either way it's been renewed for a fourth season at Apple TV+. Thanks for the price increase too Apple TV+!

In the seasoner opener it's two years following the pandemic's tipping point, UBA returns to the studios. Bradley received a coveted spot at evening news while Alex remained as TMS host together with Yanko and their new co-host Christine Hunter and is preparing for a space flight in a rocket belonging to billionaire Paul Marks. 

She also hosts her variety show podcast Alex Unfiltered on UBA+. At her interview with psychologist Esther Perel, a staggering question brings the feeling of loneliness to Alex. 

Cory remains as UBA's lead, cutting costs from all its divisions for the sake of keeping UBA+ afloat, seeing backlash from Cybil. 

Alex keeps demanding unprecedented extra privileges from him, while Bradley struggles to put through a report on abortionist Luna Garcia. As Alex, Cory, Stella and the crew of TMS head to Texas to cover Alex's spaceship launch, they meet Paul Marks in person. 

During the private conversation with Alex, Paul mentions that he and Cory had been secretly finalizing the deal to integrate UBA into his corporation and the flight was crucial to make it happen. 

Meanwhile, Luna is detained and Bradley also comes to Texas to make an unauthorised on her. Alex and Chip also leave to cover her detention without notice hours before the liftoff. 

A desperate Cory approaches Bradley as she walks from the airport and persuades her to replace Alex in the spaceship. She passes an express training and is launched into space alongside Cory and Paul. As the shuttle approaches the Kármán Line, the connection with Earth disrupts.

So after a two year absence the drama is BIG in season three.

With Trump's election steal, abortion rights, the decline in network/streaming platforms. It's corporate warfare at UBA.

Jon Hamm, Nicole Beharie and Tig Notaro joined the growing cast of the third season. The Morning Show has one of the biggest ensemble casts on TV right now.

Of course Aniston and Witherspoon steal most scenes they are in. However it is Witherspoon's season with her drama/scandal unfolding with her brother Hal. Along with that COVID flashback episode.

The Morning Show's third season is an excellent, easy binge. It should rank highly in my RATED post for this season. Until next time, summer is coming!
