Jennifer Aniston has a new man by her side! As the star prepares to return to filming Apple TV’s hit series The Morning Show, the streaming service has revealed the beloved actor who will be joining the cast.
Alongside the familiar faces of Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup and Mark Duplᴀss, Mad Men’s Jon Hamm will also be a part of the show’s third installment.
The Morning Show premiered in November of 2019 to much fanfare, originally starring Jennifer and Reese alongside Steve Carrell, whose character was accused of Sєxual harᴀssment.
Jon is set to play a character named Paul Marks, who is a “corporate тιтan who sets his sights on UBA,” further adding to the contentious and dramatic dynamic between the faces of the morning show the series portrays, and the cut throat producers and media moguls behind-the-scenes.
His casting comes shortly after Apple TV launched a satiric ad тιтled Everyone but Jon Hamm, where the actor complains that while it felt like every major star had already participated in an Apple TV show, he was yet to star in any.
He most recently starred in Top Gun: Maverick, alongside Tom Cruise, Glen Powell, and Miles Teller.
The Morning Show has not begun filming yet, but it is slated to go into production in September. Both Jennifer and Aniston are credited as executive producers, the former via her company Echo Films, while the latter is through her popular media enterprise Hello Sunshine.
The mom-of-three most recently produced a new thriller series тιтled Surface, which is also available on Apple TV, and the actress revealed it had the same mysterious nature that Big Little Lies did. She is also currently working on an animated comedy тιтled Tiny Trailblazers as well as Your Place or Mine, a romantic comedy.
The two actresses play frenemies Alex and Bradley
Meanwhile, Jennifer is next set to star in the sequel to Murder Mystery, a suspenseful comedy with her longitme co-star and close friend Adam Sandler.
