Carell would join Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon in an untitled morning show drama by Apple.
The Hollywood Reporter reports the show has already been picked up for a two-season, 20-episode order and that production is set to begin next week in Los Angeles. Carell will play Mitch Kessler, a morning show anchor struggling to maintain relevance in a media landscape that’s always changing.
The show is said to be inspired by CNN’s Brian Stelter’s book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.
