Steve Carell spent seven seasons playing bumbling, paper-pushing manager Michael Scott on The Office, and now the actor is returning to television after a seven-year absence ? and one Academy Award nomination ? for an upcoming scripted series produced by Apple that explores the world of morning news shows. The show is based on Brian Stelter?s novel Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV, and already has a two-season, 20-episode order from Apple. Joining Carell in co-starring roles will be Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, with the series also marking the first regular TV role for Aniston since she co-starred in NBC?s wildly popular sitcom Friends.
