A recent clip from the upcoming season of Apple TV+’s drama The Morning Show has caused a stir online. The footage reveals the moment Jennifer Aniston’s character, Alex Levy, is drenched in fake oil by protestors. The show takes a deep dive into the competitive world of morning television and tackles relevant events likе the #MeToo movement and the coronavirus pandemic.
Even before the third season premiered, The Morning Show was renewed for a fourth season. On July 8th, Aniston shаrеd an Instagram photo with co-star Reese Witherspoon, signaling that filming for the new season is underway. Since then, pictures and even footage of Aniston getting oil thrown at her on set have surfaced online.
On TikTok, a clip of the scene made its way to Twitter, where it quickly gained traction. In the video, Aniston stands in front of a group of protestors, seemingly representing climate activists, holding signs likе ‘Truth Warrior.’ Out of nowhere, fake oil is hurled towards Aniston, leaving her character startled and covered in the substance.
Fans of the show took to social media to express their thoughts on the scene. Some were initially confused, not realizing it was a scripted moment for the series. One Twitter user questioned why protestors targeted Aniston, while another wondered about their motive. But upon listening to the full clip, the word ‘cut’ can be heard, confirming that it was a planned scene.
“It’s clearly acting,” one user clarified. “That’s from the show, my dude. In a longer version of the video, you can hear ‘cut’ at the end, and everyone breaks,” another user added. It’s important to remember that this was just a scene and not a real-life event.
While Apple TV+ hasn’t announced an official release date for season four of The Morning Show, fans can expect it to stream sometime in 2025. In the meantime, all previous seasons of the show are available on Apple TV+.
