WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for The Morning Show season 3 finale.
Article Overview
The conclusion of season 3 of The Morning Show left viewers with numerous lingering questions regarding season 4, particularly regarding Bradley's future and the repercussions she may encounter after surrendering herself to the FBI.
Although the UBA cyberhack had significant ramifications, the identity of the hackers remains undisclosed.
The merger between NBN and The Morning Show will bring significant changes, including a competition among employees to retain their jobs. This could potentially lead to a new name for the show and a shake-up in the CEO position. The season 3 finale of The Morning Show left many unanswered questions and a cliffhanger ending, which will be addressed in season 4. Throughout season 3, the characters have been faced with challenging situations, unexpected twists, and shocking revelations, leaving their futures uncertain. While the season ended on a somewhat hopeful note, it raised even more questions for the upcoming season 4.
The Morning Show had a plethora of storylines to handle in its third season, resulting in some being overlooked for now, as fans eagerly await news on a potential fourth season. Over the course of its ten episodes, the show delved into various major plots, such as the UBA cyberhack, the tangled relationship between Stella and Paul Marks, multiple romantic subplots, the hidden secret between Bradley and Cory, the power struggle for CEO, and much more. While the season 3 finale of The Morning Show managed to tie up several loose ends, viewers are hopeful for even more revelations in the upcoming fourth season.
11. What Will Happen With Bradley & The FBI?
Bradley & Hal turned themselves in to the FBI
In the concluding episode of season 3 of The Morning Show, Bradley and Hal enter an FBI facility to finally disclose the truth about the events that unfolded on January 6. While it is inevitable that Hal will face charges of treason and assault on a police officer, the severity of the charges against Bradley and the ensuing consequences remain undisclosed at this point. It is plausible that she may be held accountable for tampering with evidence and obstructing justice, given the circumstances. However, with Bradley's prominent status as a public figure and her voluntary decision to surrender, there is a possibility that these factors could work in her favor.
At the very least, Bradley will have to be accountable for her crimes both to everyone at UBA and the public, particularly considering that she used her footage of the January 6 Capitol Attack to attain the highly-desired evening news anchor role. Although Cory offered his support when she reached out to him, his absence implies that they will continue to cover for him. Unfortunately, it is difficult to envision a future in which Bradley will be embraced back at UBA and revered as a trustworthy news personality. However, it is even more challenging to imagine a future in The Morning Show season 4 where she will not strive to regain that trust.
10. Who Was Behind The UBA Cyberhack In The Morning Show Season 3?
The cyberhack exposed many of UBA’s biggest secrets
The UBA cyberhack dominated the initial episodes of season 3 of The Morning Show. However, as the season concluded, the true culprits behind the hack remained unidentified, leaving viewers puzzled. Despite the build-up that hinted at the involvement of Paul Marks and Hyperion, their responsibility was never proven, despite the investigation conducted by Bradley, Stella, and Chip. In an unexpected twist, the primary suspect turned out to be an unnamed group of Russian hackers, which was rather underwhelming. Nevertheless, the consequences of the cyberhack wreaked havoc for UBA, but it appears that they are determined to move forward and put it all in the past for season 4 of The Morning Show.
9. Is Bradley In Love With Cory?
Bradley finally responds to Cory's love confession
After enduring multiple seasons of uncertainty, it seems that the fourth season of The Morning Show may finally shed light on the future of Bradley and Cory's relationship. In the gripping season 3 finale, Bradley dropped subtle hints suggesting that she reciprocated Cory's love, a pivotal moment that mirrored the conclusion of season 2. Despite her admission, Bradley confessed to feeling apprehensive at the time, unsure if she could truly be with someone who truly understood her, as Cory did. However, Bradley has undergone significant personal growth since then, and her fear may no longer hold the same power over her. Nevertheless, it is uncertain whether her love for Cory remains a thing of the past or if it still resonates within her heart.
8. Will Bradley & Laura Get Back Together (Again) In The Morning Show Season 4?
The couple broke up towards the end of season 3
Despite Bradley's growing feelings for Cory in The Morning Show, she cannot simply forget the deep love and connection she shared with Laura over the years. It was not a lack of love that led to their second major breakup in Season 3, Episode 9 of The Morning Show. In a powerful display of her love for Laura, Bradley resigned from her job to protect her from Paul Marks' threats. In return, Laura came to the rescue and played a vital role in saving UBA, ensuring that we will see more of the talented journalist in Season 4 of The Morning Show.
With their shared history, it is unlikely that Bradley and Laura will ever truly move on from each other in The Morning Show. Now that Bradley has turned herself in to the FBI, one of the biggest obstacles in their past relationship has been eliminated. Despite their contrasting personalities, they bring out the best in each other and serve as sources of inspiration. It is thanks to Laura's strong influence that Bradley has experienced significant personal growth. In The Morning Show season 3, they began to reconnect, and a similar storyline could easily unfold in The Morning Show season 4.
7. What Does The Merger With NBN Mean For The Morning Show Characters?
The merger with NBN will undoubtedly shake things up
The merging of UBA and NBN brings initial relief and joy, but both viewers and characters are left wondering how it will impact The Morning Show season 4. In the season 3 finale, Mia and Stella briefly touched upon the implications of the merger. While it means some belongings are spared, it also implies that an equal if not greater number of cuts will be necessary. The fourth season of The Morning Show could emphasize the competitive nature as employees from UBA and NBN fight to retain their positions.
With the studios responsible for producing the rival shows The Morning Show and Your Day, America are aligning as a stronger force, there will be a necessity to relegate one or possibly eliminate it altogether. The upcoming fourth season of The Morning Show has the potential to be the first season without The Morning Show, or at the very least, the version that viewers have grown fond of. Both UBA and NBN are long-standing media companies, and it appears unlikely that either will easily relinquish what they have tirelessly constructed throughout the years.
6. Is Cory Returning To UBA In The Morning Show Season 4?
The CEO position could be up for grabs again
Cory's fate still hangs in the balance as the third season of The Morning Show drew to a close. The explosive revelations from The Vault exposé prompted an investigation into his alleged misconduct. Although the finale hinted at a favorable outcome for Cory, it does not guarantee his reinstatement as CEO. Had Paul's deal succeeded, Cory would likely be facing unemployment. Now that Alex is in charge, he faces an uphill battle to convince her, the other executives, and UBA's board that he deserves to retain his position as CEO.
There is also the fact that NBN already has Elena Daniels as its CEO, who seems to have a significantly higher success rate in delivering actual news. Cory's original position at UBA was the president of the entertainment division, so returning to that role could be beneficial for both him and the network. Regardless of what unfolds in The Morning Show season 4, Cory is not willing to give up without a fight.
5. Will Christina Leave The Morning Show?
The anchor is considering her options elsewhere
In all three seasons of The Morning Show so far, the anchor lineup has been constantly changing, except for Alex who has remained a co-host throughout. The addition of Christina in season 3 was a positive move, as she stepped in to replace Bradley after her promotion to the evening news. Unfortunately, Christina, a strong and vocal Black woman, did not always receive the recognition she deserved. With Alex, Laura, and Elena leading the merger and Paul's deal falling through, there is a greater chance that Christina will remain at UBA. However, it may not be enough to ensure her continued presence on the show.
Nicole Beharie's exceptional performance throughout season 3 of The Morning Show seamlessly integrates with the existing cast. During her time on the show, Chris has formed significant connections with her co-anchors Alex and Yanko, producer Layla, and the affectionate Mia and Stella, who are reluctant to see her depart. Losing Christina to sports broadcasting in season 4 would undoubtedly be a substantial setback for The Morning Show. However, even if she departs from UBA, loyal viewers can still hope that she will find a way to stay engaged in the unfolding narrative.
4. Will Alex Bring Chip Back To The Morning Show?
This isn’t his first time being fired
In the final episode of The Morning Show season 3, Chip had a significant impact on overturning Paul's plan. However, his actions led to him losing his job, leaving him in a similar position to where he was at the end of season 1. The difference this time is that Alex may not choose to rehire him. Although they had a common objective of saving UBA, Alex and Chip have not interacted since Chip was fired in season 3, episode 8.
3. Is Stella Taking Over UBA In The Morning Show Season 4?
Chip and Alex's extensive history has both positive and negative implications for The Morning Show season 4. In order for Chip to resume his role as Alex's personal producer, a serious discussion regarding boundaries and professionalism would be necessary. However, Chip's working relationship with Mia and Stella, aside from Alex, is generally productive, potentially leading to an opportunity for a different producer position at UBA.
Paul wanted to make Stella UBA’s CEO
When Paul purchased UBA, he initially offered Stella the CEO position as a replacement for Cory. However, Stella had secretly intended to decline the offer due to Paul's questionable business practices. If Paul's deal had been successful in the season 3 finale of The Morning Show, it is highly likely that Stella would have left UBA. Thankfully, with the implementation of the NBN merger, Stella will be staying for the fourth season of The Morning Show, although her specific role has yet to be determined.
Stella is an excellent candidate for the UBA CEO position to potentially replace Cory. However, it's crucial to consider that Cory might not necessarily need to be replaced. Additionally, Elena from NBN should also be taken into consideration. The significance of having a younger Asian woman like Stella leading both UBA and NBN cannot be underestimated. The Morning Show has repeatedly highlighted instances of power abuse among UBA executives and employees, making it a strategic move to have Stella and Elena jointly manage UBA, especially during the transitional phase of the merger.
2. Are Laura & Audra Joining The Morning Show?
Your Day, America's anchors need a new home
Your Day, America, co-anchored by Laura and Audra, is NBN's largest show, and it serves as the main competition for The Morning Show. Currently, Yanko, Christina, and Alex are the hosts of The Morning Show, but there is a possibility that Christina will leave UBA, and Alex has expressed her preference for her streaming show, Alex Unfiltered. Consequently, it wouldn't be entirely surprising if Laura and Audra joined the desk of The Morning Show in season 4, or at least Laura, who was once one of the most admired journalists at UBA before her departure for NBN during the season 3 time jump.
1. Who Is Going To Be The New Evening News Anchor?
Bradley stepped down in season 3, episode 9
Given Laura's accomplishments and status, delivering the nightly news may be a more suitable role for her. This could also create an opening for an anchor position on the morning news. If Bradley were to return to UBA for The Morning Show season 4, she would likely need to climb the ranks again instead of starting at the top. Another possible candidate is Alex, but she may already be occupied with Alex Unfiltered and the merger's business aspects. The evening news is an esteemed position, and the individual who takes on that role in The Morning Show season 4 will wield significant power.

Editor's P/S
As a fan of The Morning Show, I am intrigued by the potential storylines that season 4 could explore. The cliffhanger ending of season 3 left many questions unanswered, and I am eager to see how the writers will address them.
One of the biggest questions I have is what will happen to Bradley after she surrendered herself to the FBI. Will she face charges for tampering with evidence and obstructing justice? Or will her status as a public figure and her voluntary decision to surrender work in her favor? I am also curious to see how the UBA cyberhack will be resolved. The true culprits behind the hack were never identified in season 3, and I am hoping that season 4 will provide some answers.
Finally, I am interested to see how the merger between NBN and The Morning Show will impact the show. Will there be a new name for the show? Will there be a shake-up in the CEO position? I am confident that season 4 of The Morning Show will be just as exciting and dramatic as the previous seasons, and I can't wait to see what the writers have in store for us.
