Who

Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston (stars, executive producers); Steve Carell (star)l Jay Carson (showrunner)

What

The third and final Witherspoon series on this list is also the actress' biggest, as it unites her with fellow A-lister (and Friends sister) Jennifer Aniston. The series will be a workplace dramedy that centres around a morning news show, described as "an inside look at the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning" and the challenges they face. Carell will star as TV news anchor Mitch Kessler (a nice promotion from being a weatherman) who finds himself in a drastically changing media landscape, with Aniston and Witherspoon headlining the series. Mimi Leder will direct, with the show already given a two-season, 20-episode order.
