Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are back for the second season of one of the more popular shows from Apple TV+.  The Morning Show follows the story of two highly ambitious journalists for a morning breakfast news program — Alex Levy (Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon). Despite the constant butting of heads between the two reporters, they must come together to regain stability for the news program as they are all thrown into the deep end of a world in chaos. One of the elements that make this show even more interesting is the setting that it portrays which is based on current events including the pandemic that we are in.

Apple TV+ highlights upcoming original movies and shows in new video - 9to5Mac

As of writing, Apple TV+ may not have the most options for films and TV shows however, the streaming service’s direction of producing quality original content seems to be paying off. There are already various offerings of shows on the streaming service with big stars and amazing stories. Furthermore, Apple TV+ has started to gain popularity especially due to the waves that they caused for the upcoming Emmys with their original program, Ted Lasso starring Jason Sudeikis — garnering the most number of nominations with a whopping total of 13.

As mentioned the list of options available on the streaming service is limited but we foresee immense growth for the platform in the coming months or years which may propel Apple TV+ to be at par with the other streaming services available today. Only time will tell but in the meantime, we can enjoy a couple of great movies and shows on Apple TV+ today.
