"From the beginning, Apple has supported our vision for 'The Morning Show,' and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to tell stories that reflect what's happening in the world around us with a twist of dark humor," shared star and executive producer Aniston. "It's been such a privilege to work with this insanely talented cast and our extraordinary writers, producers and crew. We've become such a family, and we're all so excited to share this final season. And going in knowing it would be our last, we were so fortunate to craft the conclusion with intentionality and honor these characters the way they deserve."

"The past nine years producing and acting in 'The Morning Show' have been the honor of a lifetime," added star and executive producer Witherspoon. "This was always more than a show about a newsroom — it was a show about why the newsroom matters. About freedom of the press and the journalists who protect the fourth estate, often at great cost. Telling that story has been the creative privilege of my career. Thank you to Apple for their unwavering support, to our visionary writers, our incredible crew, and our extraordinarily talented cast, who brought five seasons to life with a truth audiences believed every step of the way. It has been a stellar creative experience — one I will always treasure."

"For five seasons, these messy, resilient journalists have chased their dreams," said showrunner and executive producer Stoudt. "Now we'll see where their endeavors lead them — what story they will ultimately choose for themselves. It's been a thrill and a privilege to write for this generous, extraordinary cast." Executive producer and director Mimi Leder shared, "It has been the honor and the privilege of my career to birth this series from conception to its final conclusion with this brilliant cast, stellar crew and the extraordinary writers who, through our indelible characters, put a microscope on our world, and implored our duty to speak truth to power to protect the freedom of the press at all costs. It's been a beautiful and meaningful journey."
