There’s a new anchor coming to The Morning Show for Season 3.

Apple TV+ has announced that Nicole Beharie (Breaking, Miss Juneteenth, Sleepy Hollow) has joined the cast of the drama for its third season. She’ll be playing Christina Hunter, a grounded, competitive, and charismatic Millennial who is a new anchor on The Morning Show. She works hard, plays hard, and navigates the Teacup with good-humored irreverence.

Beharie is just the latest casting news for the series. Jon Hamm is also joining the case for Season 3, playing Paul Marks, a corporate titan who sets his sights on the UBA network and pulls Cory (Billy Crudup), Alex (Jennifer Aniston), and Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) into his powerful orbit. And Beharie’s casting comes two days after it was announced that Julianna Margulies will continue to play Laura Peterson, after recurring in the second season as the UBA News anchor.

Season 3, starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, is currently in production. Charlotte Stoudt, who has a multi-year overall deal with Apple TV+ for scripted television series, serves as showrunner and executive producer on it. Joining her as EPs are Michael Ellenberg through Media Res, Aniston and Kristin Hahn through Echo Films, and Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter through Hello Sunshine. Mimi Leder serves as executive producer and director.
