Jennifer Aniston dives back into production for season five of the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, capturing an intense scene in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday.

On-Set Action in Downtown LA

The 57-year-old actress demonstrates thorough preparation, clutching a script while rehearsing dramatic lines. A production assistant accompanies her, reviewing a copy of the scene.

Aniston sports a short-sleeved black top, loose dark pants, flip-flops, aviator sunglasses, and perfectly styled hair, exuding effortless style.

Later, she bundles up in a coat and scarf, phone in hand, as the assistant guides her by the arm. While some scenes shoot on location in New York, the series films extensively in Los Angeles, with many interior newsroom sequences at Sony Studios in Culver City.

Fan Tease from the Newsroom

Earlier this month, Aniston shares a glimpse from the The Morning Show newsroom set, featuring a spiral notebook open to a hand-drawn vase of flowers. Her caption reads: “If you’re reading this…” followed by sunflower and heart emojis, along with an inspirational message: “1. I hope you have a great day! 2. Smile! You’re beautiful. 3. Go do one thing that brings you joy.”

Fans react with excitement: “Back at work!!! TMS is the best and I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS SEASON!!!” one writes. Another adds, “AWWWW CAN’T WAIT.” A third says, “I’m looking forward for this season!!” while a fourth notes, “This feels like a hug through the screen! you always know how to make things feel lighter.” Fans also express anticipation for characters Alex and Bradley, played by Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.

Reese Witherspoon Confirms Season Five Filming

In mid-March, co-star and producing partner Reese Witherspoon, 50, announces the start of season five with a behind-the-scenes video from her first day back. Text on screen states: “First day back on set filming season 5 of The Morning Show.”

Witherspoon walks the set, joking, “I feel like a good song for this video would be Started from the Bottom Now We’re Here.” She emphasizes, “It’s very important on your first day back to say ‘Hello’ to everybody,” then shouts, “Welcome back!” to a passing car. She high-fives cast and crew, including Aniston.

The duo sits at the news desk, where Witherspoon declares, “We have breaking news,” and Aniston adds, “This is season five, and we’re back.”
