Next season
Season 5announced, no date yet
Weekly, last aired Wed, 19 Nov 2025
Is it for me?
Backstage media drama for viewers who will forgive patchy writing for committed performances. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon both play it as if the material deserves everything they have. In one early scene, a producer cannot reach Alex with the news until she walks into the studio for that day's broadcast. Billy Crudup, as news chief Cory Ellison, arrives to take charge and stands out.
Before you start
Season one runs as a single serial story with slow opening episodes; later seasons turn soapier and follow more storylines.
4 seasons, 40 episodes, 54 min each, about 36 hours so far
