A new face comes to The Morning Show when Marion Cotillard joins the cast.
The Academy Award winner, 48, has signed for a paper with an ‘important bow’ in the fourth season of the hit Apple TV+ series, according to Deadline.

She joins series regulars Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman, Néstor Carbonell, Nicole Beharie and Jon Hamm.

The Morning Show follows the stars and staff of the titular news show, which is plagued by allegations of misconduct amid the #MeToo movement.
Since then, the series has focused on more real news, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the Capitol insurrection, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Season four picks up after TMS co-host Alex Levy (Aniston) sabotages the sale of the UBA network to her tech billionaire boyfriend Paul Marks’ (Hamm) company Hyperion.
But as UBA continues to merge with another company, the future of its news team remains uncertain.
The cast recently appeared at an Emmys For Your Consideration event in Los Angeles, where Aniston, 55, praised that Witherspoon, 48, is like “family” to her.
‘We have a really interesting relationship. It’s like we’re family, for sure,” she said.
“We love to hate each other and we love to love each other, and I think it’s a really fun dynamic for Reese and I to play,” Aniston added.
Aniston said: “And, of course, I think we would like to be together forever.” I hope so, but… we really don’t know what’s going to happen.’
