25 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2019

10. Apple's Untitled Morning Show Drama

Reese Witherspoon Jennifer Aniston Friends
NBC

Who: Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Billy Crudup

What: 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.

Why: Apple are looking to make a huge splash in the original series market, and this is their biggest effort. Witherspoon and Aniston, who also serve as executive producers, are two great talents, and the former has already proven she can do prestige TV drama recently. The rest of the cast is great too, including Carell's return to TV, and then there's Mimi Leder directing most of the episodes (and if that doesn't excite you, go watch The Leftovers). The premise is a solid one, but it's going to be up to the cast to turn it into magic.

Where & When: Apple, TBC

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
