They also join previously announced Season 5 additions Jeff Daniels, Jesse Williams, Renee Rapp, and Sean Hayes. The Morning Show was given a Season 5 renewal in September, just a day before Season 4 premiered. Filming started earlier this year, so it’s possible that more casting news will be on the way.
