Billy Crudup and Gugu Mbatha-Raw Join Apple's Upcoming Morning News Drama
Apple's morning show drama starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston is in the casting stage, and Billy Crudup and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are the show's latest additions, reports Variety.
Crudup will play Cory Ellison, a "forward-thinking president of the network news division," while Mbatha-Raw will play Hannah Shoenfield, a "whip-smart and charming" booker of talent.

Mbatha-Raw is known for "Black Mirror," "A Wrinkle in Time," "Irreplaceable You," and "The Cloverfield Paradox," while Crudup is known for his roles in "Spotlight," "Jackie," "Alien: Covenant," and "Justice League."
The as of yet unnamed morning show drama will also feature Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and, as announced earlier this week, Steve Carell, best known for "The Office."
The upcoming show is based on Brian Stelter's non-fiction book "Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV." It will explore the drama-filled lives of the men and women who star on morning talk shows.
Apple has already signed on to air two 10-episode seasons of the show, which is being produced by Witherspoon and Aniston.
Apple has more than a dozen original television shows in the works, the first of which could debut in March 2019 through a rumored video service that Apple is planning to launch. At least some of the content included in the upcoming video service could be free to watch through the Apple TV app.

I'm sure this will be a smash... right up there with Keeping Up With the Kardashians. :rolleyes:
I think I understand the point you're trying to make... I'm not really a fan of "reality" television either.
But you could have picked an example that hasn't been on TV for the last 11 years... :p

I don't watch Tv of any kind anyway so am indifferent other than it being a new business for Apple.

Not sure what Apple is thinking with this show. Are people really interested in a show about a show? Does anybody care how "cutthroat" morning shows are? Seems really out of touch for normal everyday folks.

Lets extrapolate this to absurdity to see if your argument holds up:
Not sure what HBO is thinking with this show. Are people really interested in a show about the mafia? Does anybody care how "cutthroat" people in the mafia are? Seems really out of touch for normal everyday folks.
Not sure what Netflix is thinking with this show. Are people really interested in a show about the upside down? Does anybody care how "cutthroat" interdimensional demons are? Seems really out of touch for normal everyday folks.

Jennifer Aniston alone will kill this show. I have zero interest in seeing her try to “act.” She’ll be playing herself as usual.
