Jennifer Aniston donned a glamorous teal-blue gown with black flip-flop sandals while filming season five of her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday.
The 57-year-old Emmy winner walked beside her co-star Andrea Bendewald, who portrays Valérie. Aniston originally met Bendewald while attending Manhattan's High School for the Performing Arts.
Aniston's castmate Reese Witherspoon took to Instagram story the same day to announce she was 'back on The Morning Show set' and was paging through the script in her trailer. 'This is called cramming for the test,' the 50-year-old Oscar winner explained. 'Basically, I'm 50 and I'm still cramming for a test every day.'
The LolaVie founder and Witherspoon reportedly earned $2 million per episode for executive producing and reprising their roles as newly resigned TMS co-host Alex Levy and her imprisoned colleague Bradley Jackson in Charlotte Stoudt's hit newsroom drama.
When audiences last saw the talented twosome in the season four finale, they were tearfully reuniting on the tarmac in Minsk, Belarus following Bradley's prison release, then hopped on a UBA private jet bound for New York.
Aniston originally based her character off trailblazing broadcast journalist Diane Sawyer for the loose small-screen adaptation of Brian Stelter's 2013 book Top of the Morning.
Season five will welcome newcomers Jeff Daniels, Sean Hayes, Reneé Rapp, and Jesse Williams. Series regulars Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie, and Jon Hamm are all set to return.
On the personal front, the LA-born, NY-raised blonde and her live-in love Jim Curtis will celebrate their first anniversary of dating this summer. Last year, Aniston told Travel + Leisure that she used hypnosis to help overcome her fear of flying, hinting that this was how she originally met the 50-year-old 'hypno-coaching pioneer.'
Curtis is certainly leveraging his higher profile by publishing his 320-page self-help tome The Book of Possibility: Release. Align. Become. on September 22 through Simon & Schuster. But first, the transformational coach is scheduled to host an in-person, five-hour transformational experience in New York City on May 9, which costs $333.
Curtis previously dated The Real Housewives of New York City alum Bethenny Frankel, and he divorced his ex-wife Rachel Napolitano soon after she welcomed their teenage son Aidan. 'I can't keep a girlfriend because I get bored,' the subconscious specialist admitted in his 2017 book The Stimulati Experience. 'I wish I had a better relationship with my son, but he lives with his mother [in New York] most of the time, and he's pi**ed at me.'
Last summer, the Pvolve advisor signed on to produce and star in Apple TV+ 10-episode adaptation of Jennette McCurdy's 2022 memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died, which stalled after director Jason Reitman allegedly quit the project after 'clashing' with McCurdy during a casting call.
The 33-year-old former child star, who served as showrunner with Ari Katcher, felt 'disrespected' by the 48-year-old nepo son of Ivan Reitman when he envisioned the project as more comedic, according to Puck. 'It hasn't been a good process,' McCurdy admitted to KCRW's Sam Sanders in January. 'It's Hollywood, it might not happen...That's what I'm talking about in therapy.'
Last Thursday, Aniston's Friends castmate Lisa Kudrow told The Times that the five surviving cast members still rake in an eye-popping $20 million a year in residuals.
The former telemarketer made her big-screen acting debut in Mark Jones' 1993 horror film Leprechaun before breaking out as fashionista Rachel Green in the hit NBC sitcom, which aired for 10 seasons spanning 1994-2004.
