Emmy winner Julianna Margulies (ER, The Good Wife) will not be reprising her role as Laura Peterson in Apple TV+’s upcoming The Morning Show Season 4.
The TV veteran first played the character during Season 2, in which she was introduced as an acclaimed journalist who became the love interest to Reese Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson. In Season 3, after Laura and Bradley broke up for the second time, their relationship was outed to the press by Jon Hamm’s billionaire character Paul.

However, the outlet’s sources note that the creative team had also reportedly asked her if she would instead return for the show’s potential fifth season.
