How to Watch "The Morning Show" (AKA "Morning Wars") In Australia

Here's how you can see Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell and Reese Witherspoon duking it out on Apple TV+.

We do things a little differently here in Australia. We put beetroot and fried eggs in our burgers, we serve wine out of bags, and we changed the name of The Morning Show to Morning Wars.

The Morning Show is, of course, the marquee program for Apple’s brand new streaming service, Apple TV+. It’s among the first original shows being made immediately available on the platform, alongside Hailee Steinfeld’s comedy Dickinson, Jason Momoa’s See and the sci-fi series For All Mankind, to name a few (with more, including original movies, coming later). 

And though it’s not known whether this slate will be enough to steal attention (and dollars) away from Netflix, Disney+ and all the other streaming rivals, Apple’s definitely bullish on The Morning Show, having already committing to two seasons, at a cost of $US150 million per season.

However, Apple presumably didn’t want us Aussies confusing The Morning Show with our local Morning Show hosted by Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur. That’s why we’re the only country in the world calling it Morning Wars instead. Lucky us?

So, what is this show then?

Morning Wars stars Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell as breakfast TV hosts who become embroiled in a #metoo scandal, resulting in Carell’s character being fired in disgraced. Reese Witherspoon emerges as his plucky southern replacement.

The first three episodes are already available to stream from 2 November, with the remaining seven episodes of the 10-episode season dropping weekly.

Check out the trailer below.

How can I watch it?

Remember when Apple just told you one day you had a new U2 album on your phone? Well, they've kinda gone and done it again.

If you own an Apple device, you basically already have Apple TV+. Just download the complimentary Apple TV app (if you haven't already) to your iPhone or iPad, and you’ll be able to watch the first episodes of Morning Wars, Dickinson, See and For All Mankind for free. Same goes if you have an Apple TV device. Otherwise, open tv.apple.com in your browser and login with your Apple ID to browse their delights.

Should you get sucked into any of these shows and decide you want to see more, you can start a seven-day free trial or subscribe for $AUD7.99 a month. The app also serves as a bit of a replacement to iTunes as well, offering up other shows available on Foxtel, or movies to rent and buy, all at an additional cost. (Be careful when you click, as only some shows are part of the Apple TV+ subscription.)

Happy watching.
