Jennifer Aniston is hard at work as Alex Levy.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the actress, 57, says the ball is rolling on the highly anticipated fifth season of The Morning Show. (The Apple TV series is expected to return sometime in 2027.)
"Right now, it's all The Morning Show season 5," Aniston says of what's keeping her busy in her career currently.
"I've been in prep for the last few months, and especially the last few weeks, we have been in major script mode," she continues
"This will probably take me through the end of summer," the Emmy, Golden Globe and Actors Award-winner, who continues her ongoing partnership with Pvolve for its new "Express Series," adds.
The Morning Show, which premiered in 2019, follows news anchors at the fictional station UBA. The announcement that the series was renewed for a season was made in September 2025, ahead of the season 4 premiere.
Matt Cherniss, Apple TV's head of programming, said in a statement that The Morning Show "has been a standout from the very start" for the streaming service, adding: "We're excited for viewers to experience the next chapter of this Emmy Award-winning drama."

Aniston stars opposite Reese Witherspoon in the show, and both serve as executive producers.
Witherspoon, 50, teased the cast's first day back on set for The Morning Show's season 5 in a recent Instagram post. The video featured a playful moment when Aniston slapped the Legally Blonde star's butt.
Alongside Aniston and Witherspoon, The Morning Show also stars Jon Hamm, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Karen Pittman and Nestor Carbonell, among others.
Season 4 featured new additions to the ensemble, including Marion Cotillard, Aaron Pierre, Boyd Holbrook, William Jackson Harper and Jeremy Irons.
Greta Lee, who joined the series in season 2, confirmed her exit from the show after season 4. "These people are like family. We've been through so much," the actress, 43, told PEOPLE. "We got together through COVID. We were navigating brand new frontiers again and again — the writers' strike, the [Los Angeles] fires. I mean, so much has changed."
Jeff Daniels, Jesse Williams and Reneé Rapp have all joined the cast for the award-winning show's forthcoming season.
The Morning Show's season 5 does not yet have a release date. The first four seasons of the show are available to stream on Apple TV.
Jennifer Aniston and Friends Show Off Stunning Summer Styles
These days, when people say something is basic, they don’t always mean it in a flattering way. But when it comes to wardrobe staples, basic is anything but boring. Just look at the ways Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner, and Joanna Gaines have been wearing them.
All three stars recently wore mix-and-match pieces that are the foundation of any great capsule wardrobe. Aniston paired vintage-wash jeans with a fitted black tank for a sleek, casual look, and Garner dressed up light-wash jeans with a luxe-looking, short-sleeve polo shirt. As for Gaines, she went monochromatic in black jeans and a loose-fitting tank.
If you’re also now inspired to upgrade your own staples, keep scrolling for lookalike Quince clothing pieces starting at $16.
Jennifer Aniston’s Minimalist Masterclass
Aniston’s minimalist tank top and jeans combo is a go-to for her, and we can see why. To recreate her effortless ensemble, we found this Quince tank top with a modest scoop neck, fitted silhouette, and thick straps. It’s made of breathable cotton that’s lightweight enough for summer but can also be layered in the fall and winter. Team it with this pair of jeans, which has a vintage-inspired wash similar to the actress’s. The wide-leg style makes them a comfortable choice whether you’re running errands or heading to lunch.
Jennifer Garner’s Polished Polo
If your style favors classic silhouettes, Jennifer Garner’s sunset look belongs in your closet. Her timeless polo shirt looks nearly identical to this Quince one, which is made of soft, luxe cashmere. It has ribbed, fitted arms, a mid-sized collar, and an adjustable button-front neckline. Shoppers say it’s “lightweight enough for warm weather,” with one noting they “didn’t feel hot at all” wearing it on a 90-degree day. When it comes to her jeans, this lightwash pair is a great option with its subtle heathering at the hips and traditional five-pocket design. The barrel silhouette isn’t overwhelming, and reviewers call them “comfortable in all the right places.”
Joanna Gaines’ Black Basics
Basics are timeless, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also feel modern. Gaines’ monochromatic look proves that. Like this Quince top, her tank has a breezier fit with a subtle curve along the arms, and yes, while it looks good on its own, it’s also great for styling under linen button downs in summer and cardigans come fall. Our personal favorite piece of her look, though, is the sleek, flared jeans. Achieve the same style with Quince’s Luna pair, which mirrors Gaines’ silhouette and has built-in stretch for comfortable, all-day wear and a just-right mid-rise fit.
