Apple TV+ has revealed a new full-length trailer for the highly-anticipated second season of The Morning Show, which reveals things at UBA are only just heating up. The streaming drama series returns for Season 2 with a total of 10 episodes, the first of which premieres globally on September 17 followed by a weekly release every Friday.

Judging from the trailer, the second season will pick up immediately after the events of Season 1, following the ripple effects that saw Alex (Jennifer Aniston) step away from her co-hosting role after exposing the toxic culture at UBA — but it's network executive Cory (Billy Crudup) who seeks her out directly to beg her to come back to the show. Additionally, it looks like the show won't shy away from tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and how the news is set to cover the story, and a brewing journalism expose could thrust everyone at UBA into the spotlight.

Here's the official synopsis for Season 2 of The Morning Show:

Picking up after the explosive events of season one, season two finds “The Morning Show" team emerging from the wreckage of Alex (Aniston) and Bradley’s (Witherspoon) actions, to a new UBA and a world in flux, where identity is everything and the chasm between who we present as and who we really are comes into play.
