Jennifer Aniston was spotted filming season five of Apple TV+ series The Morning Show on Thursday. The 56-year-old actress, whose Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow recently commented on the show, wore a tan-colored coat and sweater while shooting in downtown Los Angeles. In character as news anchor Alex Levy, she added a black pencil skirt and matching slingback heels. It also appeared as if she lightened her hair for a blonder look. Her shoulder-length locks were straight and styled in a side part as she displayed a vibrant glow in soft makeup. Aniston was expressive and animated while chatting alongside a brunette co-star. She appears on the series alongside A-listers including Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, and Julianna Margulies.
