At a recent FYC event at Paramount Studios, Jennifer Aniston expressed her deep connection with Reese Witherspoon's character in the Apple TV+ series 'The Morning Show.' 

Aniston, who portrays Alex Levy alongside Witherspoon's Bradley Jackson, shared her sentiments about their complex on-screen relationship. 

"We have a real interesting relationship. It's like we're family for sure," Aniston revealed.

The series, which has seen three successful seasons, showcases the duo navigating the high-stakes world of morning news. 

Their characters have experienced significant ups and downs, starting from their forced partnership in Season 1 following a major scandal involving a co-anchor. 

The drama intensified in the Season 3 finale, which aired on November 8, 2023, culminating in a plot to prevent a corporate takeover.

While Witherspoon was not present at the Sunday event, Aniston, dressed in a maroon strappy dress, was accompanied by fellow cast members including Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Jon Hamm, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, and Tig Notaro. 

The gathering also touched on potential developments for Season 4, as hinted by showrunner Charlotte Stoudt at PaleyFest 2024. 

Stoudt teased the upcoming season's thematic focus on trust within a digitally manipulated reality, stating, "The big question this year is, who and what can you trust?"

Additionally, Jon Hamm, who plays billionaire Paul Marks, discussed his character's ongoing narrative arc with Aniston's Alex, indicating more developments in Season 4. 

"I don't think the relationship has run its course yet. It's unfinished business for sure," Hamm remarked. 

Aniston agreed, recalling the charming aspects of Paul that captivated her character.

With Season 4 expected to delve deeper into the complexities of media and personal relationships, fans are eagerly awaiting its release. 

Although no premiere date has been set, the anticipation continues to build for what promises to be another gripping chapter of 'The Morning Show.'
