Apple TV+ is teaming up with Amazon for a limited-time offer that gives Prime members free access to Season 1 of The Morning Show, the buzzy drama starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Billy Crudup. No Apple TV+ subscription is required.
The deal is part of a cross-platform effort to get Prime Video users to sample Apple TV+ content. And if you’ve never seen The Morning Show, this is your perfect entry point.
What Is The Morning Show About?
Set behind the scenes of a fictional morning news program, the series kicks off with a #MeToo scandal that sends shockwaves through the network. Aniston plays Alex Levy, a longtime anchor suddenly forced to reestablish herself when her co-host is fired. She’s paired with Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon), a firebrand field reporter whose blunt style doesn’t exactly scream “corporate synergy.”
What follows is a dramatic, sometimes messy, always entertaining look at the inner workings of broadcast news, power plays, and public accountability, all while dealing with evolving real-world topics like the COVID-19 pandemic, racial inequity, and the Capitol riot in later seasons.
The show has earned 27 Emmy nominations to date, with Aniston and Crudup taking home major awards. Season 1 alone boasts a star-studded lineup including Steve Carell, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Mark Duplass.
Why Try It?
Even if you don’t have Apple TV+, this offer lets you test-drive one of the streamer’s flagship shows risk-free. It’s a strategic move for Apple, which just renewed The Morning Show through Season 5 ahead of its Season 4 premiere today (September 17).
Think of this as your on-ramp to Apple TV+ originals with no commitment, just compelling TV.
