Alright, The Morning Show fans, buckle up! Season 4 of Apple TV+’s drama-packed series is almost here, and it’s shaping up to be another wild ride in the UBA newsroom. If you’re as hooked as I am on the juicy mix of newsroom chaos, stellar acting, and real-world vibes, you’re probably dying to know what’s next for Alex, Bradley, and the gang. So, let’s dive into everything we’ve got on the release date, cast updates and what to expect from Season 4. Grab your coffee, and let’s get into it!
Release Date: When Will Season 4 Premiere?
Mark your calendars: The Morning Show Season 4 hits Apple TV+ on September 17, 2025. We’re getting 10 episodes, rolling out every Wednesday until November 19, 2025. That’s right, it’s sticking to the fall release pattern we’ve seen with Seasons 1 (2019), 2 (2021), and 3 (2023). They started filming back in July 2024 and wrapped up in December, so the team’s had plenty of time to make this season as glossy and dramatic as ever. I’m already counting down the days!
