OnThe Morning Show, Aniston plays news anchor Alex Levy. Season 1, which premiered in November 2019, followed Alex as she grappled with her partner Mitch Kessler’s (Steve Carell) firing amid a sexual misconduct scandal and had to adapt to having a new co-anchor, Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson.
At the time, she called the filming experience “literally about seven months of therapy that covered 20 years of work.”
“Boy did we get to dive deep into our own experiences and our own history and really be able to breathe life into these extraordinary characters,” she said during her acceptance speech. “Who knew that emotional breakdowns felt that good.”
