SPOILER WARNING: The following contains spoilers for The Morning Show’s Season 3 finale episode, “The Overview Effect”.
Another season of The Morning Show met its end this week, and with a denouement so satisfying it’ll have fans leaping off their couches. From Jennifer Aniston plonking her loaded briefcase on the board room table, to Jon Hamm slinking back to his “giant penis” spaceship, there was something for everyone—even the FBI.
Under the stewardship of Season 3 showrunner Charlotte Stoudt—passed the torch by co-creator Kerry Ehrin—The Morning Show continues to look under the rocks of big business, systemic racism, the media crisis and terrifying political backslides, while focusing in on familial dysfunction and female power.
Here, Stoudt, along with Eps Michael Ellenberg, Lauren Neustadter, Kristin Hahn and EP-director Mimi Leder, come together to discuss the making of Season 3 and what’s coming up for Season 4.
DEADLINE: Congratulations for working in everything from #MeToo to space travel to Roe v. Wade in one season.
CHARLOTTE STOUDT: Thank you so much. I’ve been thinking about this season, and when we sat down to think about what it should be, we’ve been through such a tumultuous few years, and when we were in the room, everything was still vibrating, right? The protests with George Floyd; all the questions around the election. Billionaires having made so much money during the pandemic and the pandemic itself. The clash over masks and vaccines. It was a heightened time. And I think that maybe inspired a little of the season and the tone itself, and the mood of the season, the extremity of it was really just a reflection of what we were going through.

Jon Hamm needed “a dedicated nippleologist” to get his character’s prosthetic pierced nipples just right for Season Five of Fargo.The dark comedy crime anthology returns for its fifth season today (November 21) on FX in the US, and a day later in the UK on Amazon Prime Video.As seen in the trailer for the season, Hamm’s character Sheriff Roy Tillman has nipple rings, and when speaking to Variety this week, Hamm explained how they got it to work.“I had to have some very blue latex put on my nipples, and then they cast a resoundingly lifelike pair of nipples, which they then pierced and placed over my own nipples, and we shot said nipples,” he said. “The crew doesn’t get enough credit, but there was a dedicated nippleologist.”Early reviews of Season Five of the show have described it as a “return to form”.
Alison Herman TV Critic The typical season of “Fargo” starts at a simmer. Thanks to the famous opening disclaimer (“at the request of the survivors”; “out of respect for the dead”), borrowed wholesale from the Coen Brothers’ original masterpiece, the audience knows violence is in the offing. In translating “Fargo” into an anthology series, an interpretive exercise that now spans five different installments over nearly a decade, creator Noah Hawley has stuck to this structure.
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Juno Temple has just learned about Jon Hamm’s “Fargo” stunt nipples, and she’s in awe. “A full, fake nipple?,” she asks, turning to her co-star at FX’s “Fargo” Season 5 premiere screening and panel on Nov. 15 at Nya Studios.

Fargo’s fifth season has been described as a “return to form” in early reviews.Created by Noah Hawley, the dark comedy crime anthology returns for its fifth season on November 21 on FX in the US.The show, originally inspired by the Coen brothers’ 1996 film of the same name, has explored new time periods and locations with largely a new cast in every season so far. In the fifth season, the series takes a more contemporary 2019 setting across North Dakota and Minnesota.A synopsis reads: “After an unexpected series of events lands “Dorothy ‘Dot’ Lyon” (Juno Temple) in hot water with the authorities, this seemingly typical Midwestern housewife is suddenly plunged back into a life she thought she had left behind.”Alongside Juno Temple, the fifth season’s ensemble cast includes Jon Hamm, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Joe Keery, Lamorne Morris and Richa Moorjani.Ahead of the show’s premiere, critics have shared their views on the first six episodes.
After an ambitious fourth season in 2020 that arguably drifted into something different from what Noah Hawley had produced before in his Coen Brothers-inspired “Fargo,” the fifth chapter of this twisted anthology series returns to the roots of the film that gives it a title. It’s as if Hawley and his team put some of the basic elements of the 1996 Oscar winner on a whiteboard—kidnapped housewife, pair of bumbling criminals (one foreign), car salesman husband, kindly Minnesotan police officer, etc.—and then figured out how to warp them through their funhouse mirror approach to Coen-esque black comedy.
Selome Hailu SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from the Season 3 finale of “The Morning Show.” Another outing of the sometimes hilarious, sometimes devastating, always thrilling “The Morning Show” has come to pass. Season 3 finale “The Overview Effect” sees Alex (Jennifer Aniston) realize who and what was important to her.
