Jeremy Irons Joins ‘The Morning Show’ As Jennifer Aniston’s [Spoiler]
The Morning Show is adding a second Oscar winner to its Season 4 cast. Jeremy Irons has been tapped for a major role on the Apple TV+ drama. He will play Martin Levy, Alex Levy’s (Jennifer Aniston) father. Irons joins fellow new Season 4 cast addition Marion Cotillard.
The Levy family drama that Martin’s arrival is bound to bring will likely compound the headache Alex is facing at work as she grapples with the aftermath from the thwarted UBA sale to Paul Marks’s (Jon Hamm) tech company and a potential merger with rival network NBN.
