The Morning Show was the calling card of Apple TV Plus at launch, costing €15 million per episode. It was rounded out by the epic sci-fi drama See starring Jason Momoa, the space drama For All Mankind, and the period comedy Dickinson.

It's garnered an army of fans and an impressive number of awards, earning 20 Primetime Emmy nominations in 2021, a record for a first-year series.
