Reese Witherspoon and co-star Jennifer Aniston were at work Thursday as they filmed scenes for their popular Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.
The 46-year-old Big Little Lies actress and 53-year-old Friends star were both spotted arriving at the show’s set in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood before walking away put to work.
Although they appeared to be in good spirits, the two adopted somber expressions as they filmed what appeared to be a tense scene together.

The Morning Show stars are currently filming the acclaimed drama’s third season. They appear as the dueling anchors of a fictional national morning news show in the series.
Jennifer plays Alex Levy, who co-hosts The Morning Show with Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell), who is fired in the first season when he faces sexual misconduct claims.
He is replaced by impulsive local news correspondent Bradley Jackson (Reese) after a number of his stories garner national attention.
The two actresses were seen arriving on set in what appeared to be their own clothes.
Reese wore an olive-colored waffle-print down coat over a plain black top and matching black pants.
She brightened up the look with shiny white sneakers and she carried a white handbag with blue, green and red stripes down the center.

Relaxed: Jennifer was spotted driving into an SUV while wearing her own black top which she tucked into a pair of relaxed fit dark blue jeans
Jennifer was seen getting into an SUV while wearing her own black top which she tucked into relaxed dark blue jeans.
She wore pointy black suede boots, which complemented her long black overcoat with shiny satin lapels.
The Horrible Bosses actress also had a gray tasseled scarf with her, and she was carrying a brown leather handbag.
Later, she and Reese were seen in their costumes, although the nature of their characters meant that their costumes could have passed for their own clothes.
The Legally Blonde star beamed from ear to ear as she descended a set of stairs on set in a pretty royal blue coat, and she swapped out her white handbag for a larger powder blue pattern.
She wore her long blonde locks parted in the middle and cascading down her back, and she elevated her 5ft 1in stature with a pair of shiny silver heels.

In costume: Jennifer appeared to be keeping her coat on, but now wore a more revealing black blouse with black trousers

Her caramel-colored hair was visibly disheveled as she prepared for her view with Reese.
It seemed like quite a dramatic scene, as the two actresses were seen shot down at times as the camera crew surrounded them.
Reese and Jennifer were almost face to face at one point, though it was unclear if their characters were arguing or reacting to bad news.
Confrontation: Reese and Jennifer were almost face to face at one point
Jennifer was gesticulating with her hands and even looked furious at various times.
She and Reese have been hard at work since The Morning Show returned to film its third season in August.
The final season will see Mad Men star Jon Hamm join the series as a regular cast member.
His character, Paul Marks, is portrayed as a corporate titan who sets his sights on the fictional network that airs The Morning Show.
On Wednesday, he and Jennifer were photographed at Coney Island in Brooklyn as they filmed more scenes for the series.
His casting is ironic, as Hamm filmed a comedic commercial for Apple TV+ earlier in the year in which he angrily scrolled through the streamer’s movies and TV shows while complaining he wasn’t doing not part of the multitude of famous faces.
He even stopped to watch a segment of The Morning Show.
‘Jen and Reese; no Jon! It’s like a missed opportunity!’ He shouted. It’s unclear if her casting, which was announced in August, was discussed before filming the commercial, which ultimately earned an Emmy nomination.

Nicole Beharie, who starred in the movie Miss Juneteenth and the thriller series Sleepy Hollow, is also joining the show for its third season.
Although The Morning Show is fictional, it is inspired by Brian Stelter’s 2013 non-fiction book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.
