Premise[edit]

Alex Levy anchors The Morning Show, a popular breakfast news program broadcast from Manhattan on the UBA network, which has excellent viewership ratings and is perceived to have changed the face of American television.

In the first season, after her on-air partner of 15 years, Mitch Kessler, is fired amidst a sexual misconduct scandal, Alex fights to retain her job as a top news anchor while sparking a rivalry with Bradley Jackson, a haphazard field reporter whose series of impulsive decisions brings her into a new world of television journalism.

In the second season, the network CEO attempts to convince Alex to return as the COVID-19 pandemic gradually engulfs the United States, and the show itself, whilst Bradley deals with an identity crisis.
