This will be the third collaboration between Apple TV and Daniels. Here are the details.

Daniels Returns to the Newsroom, So to Speak

According to Deadline, Daniels will take on the role of "a self-made billionaire and founder of a prominent investment firm" in the fifth season of The Morning Show.

This role will be Daniels' third project with Apple TV; he previously appeared in the currently airing third season of Shrinking and served as the narrator for the 2021 documentary 9/11: Inside the President’s War Room.

Daniels' role in The Morning Show is interesting, as he is not a news anchor; it reminds one of Aaron Sorkin's contribution to the character Will McAvoy in The Newsroom. For this role, Daniels won a well-deserved Emmy award.

Daniels is the latest addition to a star-studded cast that includes Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line), Jennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses), Nicole Beharie (Love, Brooklyn), Nestor Carbonell (Lost), Billy Crudup (Almost Famous), Mark Duplass (Blue Jay), Jon Hamm (Baby Driver), and Karen Pittman (Custody).

The Morning Show completed its fourth season last November, and Apple has not yet confirmed a return date for the fifth season. When asked recently by The Hollywood Reporter whether the season would premiere in 2026, showrunner Charlotte Stoudt responded:

I'm thinking about it. I haven't talked to Apple about any release dates, but there was a writers' strike between the third and fourth seasons, so there was quite a long delay. Since there hasn't been anything like that this year, maybe we can move a little faster. That's when I knock on wood!

Apple TV is available for $12.99 a month and includes hit TV shows and movies like F1 The Movie, Pluribus, Severance, The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking, and Silo.
