Reese Witherspoon Says Jon Hamm's 'The Morning Show' Character Is Pulled From Real Life (Exclusive)

ET spoke with Witherspoon at the Apple TV+ Emmys after-party Monday, where she dished on season 3 of the show.

Reese Witherspoon can't say much about season 3 of The Morning Show, but she did tease what fans can expect from Jon Hamm's character when the show returns. ET spoke with Witherspoon at the Apple TV+ Emmys after-party Monday, where she shared her excitement for the Emmy-nominated show's upcoming season.

"I don't think I can tell you anything," Witherspoon admitted. "I wish I could! But it's fun -- obviously, Jen and I are back. We've added Jon Hamm. We still have the amazing Karen Pittman and Billy Crudup, and so many of the cast members that people love."

She continued, "I guess I can say -- is it after the pandemic? I can't tell you anything, but it's really juicy and good. There's lots of new characters."

As far as Hamm joining the already star-studded cast, Witherspoon said it's been "seamless" having him on set.

"I mean, it's so seamless, he just walks on like he, ya know -- and he's playing this amazing character that I can't wait for people to see, because it's sort of pulled from real life a little bit," Witherspoon gushed.

The Morning Show was up for three Emmys at Monday night's awards show, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Witherspoon, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Billy Crudup, and Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Marcia Gay Harden.

While they didn't take home any trophies, that didn't stop the cast from enjoying the night. Witherspoon, who hit the carpet in a dark blue sequined gown which she accessorized with a stunning diamond necklace and black stilettos, caught up with her colleagues and posed for pics with everyone from Christina Ricci, Laura Linney and more.

She even got a special shout-out from Lizzo! See that moment and more from the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards below.
