Aniston’s portrayal of Alex Levy marks a significant departure from her iconic role as Rachel Green on “Friends.” In “The Morning Show,” she embodies a character layered with resilience, vulnerability, and complexity. Alex is a highly successful but deeply conflicted woman, grappling with the fallout of a scandal involving her long-time co-anchor, Mitch Kessler (played by Steve Carell), who is accused of sexual misconduct. This crisis forces her to confront her own complicity in a toxic workplace culture and the compromises she has made in her career.
Aniston’s performance has been widely praised for its depth and nuance. She brings to life the dualities of Alex’s character—a public figure who is both a beloved TV personality and a private individual struggling with her own demons. Her portrayal is marked by an intense emotional range, capturing the highs of her professional achievements and the lows of her personal turmoil.

The show, created by Jay Carson and developed by Kerry Ehrin, is inspired by the #MeToo movement and examines how women navigate power structures in media. Aniston, who also serves as an executive producer, brings her own experience in Hollywood to the role, lending authenticity to the portrayal of a woman under public scrutiny.
