\n\tSPOILER ALERT: This piece contains spoilers for the first episode of The Morning Show<\/a> Season 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThe first episode of Season 4 of The Morning Show has arrived, and though Alex (Jennifer Aniston<\/a>) and Bradley (Reese Witherspoon<\/a>) begin the new season apart, they come back into each other\u2019s orbit by the end, albeit with a clash.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s what we do,\u201d Aniston said in an interview with Deadline. \u201cThat\u2019s what Alex and Bradley tend to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 4 picks up two years after the events of Season 3, which ended with Alex proposing a merger between the UBA and NBN networks versus Paul Marks (Jon Hamm) buying UBA and then stripping it for parts. Alex also walked Bradley to the FBI to confess that she had deleted footage of her brother participating in insurrectionist activity at the Capitol on January 6. Bradley caught the her brother hal (Joe Tippett) on tape because she was there reporting.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re in different places now. [Bradley]\u2019s feeling very tentative,\u201d Witherspoon told Deadline. \u201cShe manages to somehow get back onto the network, but she\u2019s not in Alex\u2019s good graces because of the end of Season [3], and how she pulled Alex into her messy life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs part of the negotiations from last season, Alex now manages talent as part of her new role at the combined UBN network. When Stella (Greta Lee) and Mia (Karen Pittman) cook up the idea of bringing Bradley back, Alex doesn\u2019t immediately take to it.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAlex is in a different position in the C suite now, and then Bradley shows up again \u2014 that little spitfire \u2014 and I am now in a position where I have to make choices that will be good for the network,\u201d Anniston remarked. \u201cAnd we\u2019re not sure that this is a good move to have her re-approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe move to bring Bradley back into the fold resulted from Alex helping an Iranian athlete, Olympian fencer Roya and her father defect from their country and seek asylum in the United States. The pair subtly hinted to Alex that they wanted to go through with this after she had set up an interview with Roya on \u201cAlex Unfiltered.\u201d Bringing Bradley in shifts the spotlight and gives audiences a distraction.<\/p>\n

\n\tJeremy Irons, who plays Alex\u2019s father Martin Levy this season, makes his appearance in the first episode as well when Alex visits him. He is law school professor, and Alex wants to pick his brain about the situation she has just experienced with Roya and her father. While aiding in the drafting of a new consititution for Iraq, Martin helped out an Iraqi translator, but he encourages his daughter to stay out of whatever situation she is alluding to.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI love talking about Jeremy Irons more than anything. He\u2019s a dreamy human being, a fantastic scene partner. I pinched myself that I got to actually work with him, and I was very excited that they were going to bring in Alex\u2019s father, so we could understand why Alex is who she is,\u201d Aniston shared. \u201cIt informs the audience a little bit of why her relationship life is a little bit strained \u2014 her relationship with her child, her romantic relationships, her work relationships. She\u2019s a workaholic. Why is Alex who she is? And this [interaction] gives a little peek into the world that she grew up in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SPOILER ALERT: This piece contains spoilers for the first episode of The Morning Show Season 4.
