Julianna Margulies is exiting the newsroom, as she will not return for another season of “The Morning Show.”

Margulies, who played Bradley Jackson’s (Reese Witherspoon) love interest Laura Paterson for Seasons 2 and 3, is walking away from the hit Apple TV+ series, Variety reports. The Emmy winning actor was asked if she could return for Season 4 and potentially a fifth season, but she declined.

The outlet also reports that she turned down an offer to appear in just one episode of Season 4 to sew up her storyline.

While the explanation for her departure remains unclear, “The Morning Show” showrunner Charlotte Stoudt confirmed that she wanted Margulies to reprise her role in the upcoming seasons.

The series brought in Margulies’ character in Season 2 to play a LGBTQ+ veteran journalist who falls in love with Bradley. At the time, Margulies addressed concerns about her, a heterosexual woman, playing an LGBTQ+ role.

“I understand 100% that I can’t play a different race, but I am an actress, and I am supposed to embody another character,” she told CBS Mornings in 2021. “Whatever their sexuality is doesn’t matter to me, the same way watching a gay person play a straight person.”

“The Morning Show” Season 4 will return in 2025.

Ackles returning to TV in ‘Countdown’: “Supernatural” fans, rejoice. Jensen Ackles is returning to the small screen — with fewer angels and demons but just as much mystery.

Ackles, who garnered Tumblr-era cult status playing one-half of the Winchester brothers, along with Jared Padalecki, will lead the cast of the action-thriller series “Countdown,” now in preproduction.

Variety reports Ackles will play LAPD officer Mark Meachum, who joins a secret task force after a suspicious murder. As a more sinister plot is revealed, the team must overcome conflicting agendas to unite and save the city, the official logline says.

“Countdown” has been approved for 13 episodes and will be produced by Amazon MGM Studios, with Derek Haas as executive producer and showrunner. Haas, known as a writer and producer on NBC’s “Chicago” franchise, created the series for Ackles, who had previously worked with Amazon on “The Boys.”

“I had an incredible experience working with the Prime Video team on ‘The Boys’ and am delighted to be able to continue that relationship on ‘Countdown,’ ” Ackles said. “I simply cannot wait to partner with Derek and the rest of our ‘Countdown’ family to bring this story to life.”
