RELATED: Who Does Alex Levy End Up With in The Morning Show?

The Newsroom

Just like The Morning Show, this is another series that’s set in a newsroom and follows the lives of the people behind the news.

In The Newsroom, after Will McAvoy, the news anchor for the fictional Atlantis Cable News has a public meltdown, he’s put on a three-week hiatus by his boss.

When he comes back, most of the staff aren’t there anymore, and a new executive producer is hired. This new executive producer is MacKenzie McHale, his ex-girlfriend, and she has plans to revamp his news broadcast.

Like The Morning Show, the series does not just focus on the anchors alone, but also on other newsroom staff.

Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, John Gallagher Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Dev Patel, Olivia Munn, and Sam Waterston star in The Newsroom.

Flack

Like with The Morning Show, viewers of Flack get an inside look at the drama in the workplace. But while the characters in The Morning Show tackle the news, the characters in Flack deal with what comes after.

The series follows Robyn, an American publicist working for a London PR company that represents troubled celebrities. It is Robyn’s job to turn bad situations around and clean up the mess caused by her clients.

Anna Paquin, Sophie Okonedo, Genevieve Angelson, Lydia Wilson, Rebecca Benson, and more star in Flack.

Truth Be Told

Truth Be Told is a crime drama series that follows Poppy Parnell, an investigative journalist behind a hit true-crime podcast. She gets assigned to reinvestigate a murder case after the convicted murderer claims that he was framed.

Like The Morning Show’s Bradley Jackson and Alex Levy, Poppy Parnell is someone determined to uncover the truth.

Octavia Spencer, Aaron Paul, Lizzy Caplan, Elizabeth Perkins, Michael Beach, Mekhi Phifer, Kate Hudson, and more star in Truth Be Told.

Sharp Objects

Sharp Objects follows Camille Preaker, a troubled crime reporter who returns to her hometown to investigate the murders of two young girls.

Just like The Morning Show, Sharp Objects follows a journalist and covers the world of news reporting. The series, however, is darker, as it is a psychological thriller. The series is based on a novel of the same name by Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl.

Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson, Chris Messina, Eliza Scanlen, Matt Craven, Henry Czerny, Taylor John Smith, Madison Davenport, Miguel Sandoval, and more star in Sharp Objects.

Being Mary Jane

Being Mary Jane follows the professional and personal life of Mary Jane Paul, a successful TV news anchor for Satellite News Channel (SNC). Fans of The Morning Show may want to check this out.

Gabrielle Union, Lisa Vidal, Margaret Avery, Latarsha Rose, Aaron D. Spears, Richard Brooks, B. J. Britt, Raven Goodwin, Richard Roundtree, Omari Hardwick, and Stephen Bishop star in Being Mary Jane.

The Bold Type

The Bold Type is another female-led workplace drama series. It follows the lives of three young women who work for a fictional global women’s magazine called Scarlet.

The series is inspired by the life of former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine Joanna Coles. Katie Stevens, Aisha Dee, and The White Lotus’ Meghann Fahy star in The Bold Type.

Scandal

Scandal is another Shonda Rhimes masterpiece. In Scandal, Olivia Pope is a former White House Communications Director who started her own crisis management firm. There’s a lot of drama and politics involved, just like The Morning Show.

Scandal stars Kerry Washington, Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes, Guillermo Diaz, Jeff Perry, Tony Goldwyn, Columbus Short, Henry Ian Cusick, and more.

Big Little Lies

If you want to watch another female-led series with lots of drama, suspense, and plot twists, don’t miss out on Big Little Lies! In Big Little Lies, five women in Monterey, California become involved in a murder investigation.

Big Little Lies stars Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz and Meryl Streep.

Alexander Skarsgård, Adam Scott, Kathryn Newton, James Tupper, Jeffrey Nordling, and Iain Armitage also star.
