Billy Crudup, Gugu Mbatha-Raw Join Morning News Series at Apple

Billy Crudup and Gugu Mbatha-Raw have joined the cast of an upcoming Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon-led Apple original series, according to Variety.

Mbatha-Raw will play Hannah Shoenfeld, a "whip-smart and charming" head booker of talent on the morning news show the series follows. Tony Award-winner Crudup will portray Cory Ellison, a forward-thinking president of the network news division. Steve Carell will play Mitch Kessler, a morning show anchor who is struggling to maintain relevance in a changing media landscape.

Aniston will executive produce with Kristin Hahn, along with Witherspoon and Lauren Levy Neustadter.

The series got a two-season order last year from Tim Cook's emerging content player.
