Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon’s ‘TV Morning Show’ Series Picked Up By Apple
Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon’s yet to be titled series has just been picked up by Apple for two seasons!
The Hollywood Reporter first released a report about the “Friends” co-stars’ upcoming project in July. The series will center on the two actors exploring morning shows, as well as the larger New York media scene they inhabit. Almost four months after, it has been confirmed by Entertainment Tonight that Apple will release 10 episodes of the show for two seasons.
Aniston and Witherspoon, together with their respective production companies, Echo Films and Hello Sunshine, will be executive producing the show. The duo will also be teaming up with HBO drama head Michael Ellenberg. “House of Cards” supervising producer Jay Carson will also be involved in the project.
On her Instagram account, Witherspoon also confirmed the deal she and Aniston made with Apple. In her post, the “Big Little Lies” actress shared a photo of herself with Aniston. In her caption, she expressed her excitement over reuniting with Aniston and said that their show will be released by Apple.
According to THR, the “Friends” co-stars have remained friends throughout the years after Witherspoon guest-starred as Aniston’s younger sister on the hit TV show.
Meanwhile, there is still no confirmation on whether or not Witherspoon’s other project, “Big Little Lies,” will be renewed for a second season. There have been talks surrounding the fate of the HBO series ever since it wrapped up in April, but until today, nothing has been finalized.
But writer and executive producer David E. Kelly gave fans a glimmer of hope during his recent interview with TV Line.
“We’re kicking around ideas and trying to lasso the talent and get the band back together. It’s just a lot of logistical things. But I’m optimistic because everyone wants to do it. We feel like we still have storytelling to do. No decision has been made yet, but we’re hopeful. Where we left, it felt like it did open the opportunity for a lot more storytelling,” he said.
