Reese Witherspoon and Julianna Margulies look business chic on set of The Morning Show in NYC

The drama series The Morning Show, starring A-listers Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, has wowed viewers with its fictional take on the cutthroat business of daytime television since it premiered in November 2019.

Nearly three years on, and the cast and crew are back on set shooting season three in New York City on Friday.

Actress Julianna Margulies, 56, who joined the show for season two, was spotted sharing some laughs with Witherspoon, 46, while prepping behind-the-scenes.

Stylists for the costume department were spot-on when they dressed Witherspoon in a black suit with a burgundy top and black leather heeled boots.

The actress, who plays Bradley Jackson, co-host of UBA’s TMS alongside Aniston’s Alexandra ‘Alex’ Levy, also carried a stylish Balenciaga Neo classic leather bag, while wearing a couple of necklaces and earrings.

The hair and makeup department had her blonde tresses long and flowing over her chest region and down to the middle of her back with a part in the middle.

The actresses were prepping for their scene that called for Bradley to confront Margulies’ character Laura Petesron, a news anchor at UBA, near a stoop of an apartment building.

Equally business chic, Margulies was decked out in black flared slacks and a rustic blazer over a white button-down shirt.

She also had a large gray purse over her shoulder, and had her raven locks styled long and pushed back over one ear with a center part.

After grabbing her colleague’s attention, Laura walks down the five steps and goes face-to-face with Bradley, with about two to three feet between them.

Witherspoon’s Bradley was also seen running from the street to the sidewalk in another scene that was filmed on Friday.

The hit Apple TV+ drama series, inspired by Brian Stelter’s book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV (2013), has earned an impressive 11 Emmy nominations over the course of the first two seasons.

According to TV analytics provider TVision, TMS has been viewed by panel members five times more than the average original series or show on the streaming platform that TVision has measured since it launched in November 2019.

It has since gone on to become the second most watched Apple TV+ series after Ted Lasso.

Season two wrapped last November and would eventually get renewed a couple of months later.
