00:00We are ripe and ready for this conversation, and it's heartbreakingly honest.

00:07It's been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life.

00:12Standby A, eight seconds to you.

00:15This show is sharp and insightful and ultimately very human.

00:21Three, two, start your move, cue her.

00:26Good morning.

00:30Our show, The Morning Show, is really set in the world of morning television.

00:33The world of the anchors and the news and all of the people that wake you up in the

00:38mornings.

00:39There's just this adrenalized, very ambitious and almost Machiavellian energy.

00:44The anxiety, fear of losing your position, desire to come out on top, this shows me what

00:50this world is.

00:52Mitch and Alex, they are the darlings of morning TV.

00:55They're incredibly close friends, and there's a love between them.

00:59Mitch, that's my on-air partner, my TV husband.

01:02We know more about each other than me and my husband and he and his wife.

01:07But it's inevitable that they have some difficult and rocky times.

01:11I'm sorry.

01:12Me too.

01:13Mitch, he's so charming and likable.

01:16He doesn't really realize the power and its effect on other people.

01:20I mean, he does bad things, and I think it's disconcerting, but I love the fact that it's

01:24so gray and complicated.

01:25He's a very flawed human being, but he's a human being.

01:29You are my best friend.

01:31You're like a part of me.

01:32Me too, honey.

01:33Alex Levy has been at The Morning Show for 17 years, but her entire world has fallen

01:38apart, and she's grasping to get control of her life again.

01:41I just need to be able to control the narrative so that I'm not written out of it.

01:46My relevance is at stake here.

01:48Everything that I live for is all in this show, and she's fighting for her life.

01:53I'm not closing without co-host approval.

01:55Well, I'm sorry to hear that, because you're not getting it.

01:58So Bradley, what is your story?

02:01I don't fit the mold.

02:02What mold is that?

02:03Any mold, really.

02:04Bradley Jackson comes in and completely stirs the pot.

02:08She has a tendency to not think before she speaks.

02:12What do you know?

02:13How many jobs have been lost in the last 10 years?

02:14I don't know.

02:15Huh?

02:16I don't know.

02:17Thousands!

02:18So when she gets the opportunity to be on The Morning Show, she's determined to sort

02:21of make the best of that.

02:22We want to interview you.

02:24The Morning Show.

02:25Your words spoke to America.

02:28These characters go on a long journey together in a very short period of time.

02:33How they get there is fascinating.

02:34So you're a diehard reporter.

02:37The truth matters to me.

02:38The truth is what we are all striving for.

02:42Yeah.

02:43There's someone younger and who has tapped into her fearlessness and her quest for the

02:47truth.

02:48What Bradley says resonates within Alex, but she's also terrified of it.

02:52These two complicated women in a complicated work environment are going to eventually collide.

02:58And it's a world that is often dark, but also there's definitely a beating heart in it.

03:04And I think a hope.

03:06You all are so convinced that you are the rightful owner of all of the power that it

03:10doesn't even occur to you that someone else could be in the driver's seat.

03:14I think it's really powerful and emotional.

03:18I gave up everything for this show.

03:22Every chance of having a normal life.

03:24I think it's really about a reckoning, realizing that it's time for change.
