Hello everyone! Jennifer Aniston found herself in quite the sticky situation over the weekend. The beloved Friends star, now 55, was caught on camera drenched in oil while filming for the hit show The Morning Show in New York City’s Flatiron District.
The dramatic scene, which appeared to depict a protest, saw Aniston’s character, Alex Levy, covered head to toe in a black liquid. Aniston’s intense expression mirrored the chaotic energy of the moment as extras quickly distanced themselves from the spill.
This incident marks the beginning of production for the much-anticipated fourth season of The Morning Show. Earlier this month, Aniston shared the exciting news with her fans through a heartfelt Instagram post. The post featured a delightful photo of Aniston with her co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Tig Notaro, all dressed in matching denim outfits. Aniston’s caption read, “Let @themorningshow season 4 games begin 🥳 Here we come! ❤️👏🏼👏🏼❤️🥂,” accompanied by a glimpse of her script for the upcoming season.
The Morning Show, streaming on AppleTV+, has been captivating audiences since its premiere in 2019. The series dives into the complex lives of news anchors at the fictional UBA network, blending their professional challenges with personal dramas.
Season 3 introduced viewers to new character Paul Marks, played by Jon Hamm, who was brought in to save UBA from financial ruin. The unexpected romance between Aniston’s Alex and Hamm’s Paul left fans eagerly anticipating how this storyline would unfold.
Showrunner Charlotte Stoudt hinted that the aftermath of the dramatic events from season 3 will significantly impact all characters in the upcoming season.
“If we asked the audience to go on that ride, then we have to honor that ride,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. This dedication to continuity and character development is one reason the series has garnered over 50 award nominations, including a SAG Award for Aniston’s portrayal of Alex Levy in 2020.
Despite the absence of an official premiere date, anticipation for season 4 is already building. Meanwhile, fans can catch up on the previous seasons available for streaming on AppleTV+.
With the show’s knack for weaving real-life events into its narrative, viewers can expect another season filled with gripping drama and compelling storytelling.
