AppleTV+’s The Morning Show is amping up the star power further with the addition of Academy Award-winner Marion Cotillard in a major arc across Season 4. She will portray ‘Celine Dumont,’ a savvy operator from a storied European family.
Cotillard joins the ensemble cast which includes Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee, Jon Hamm and Nicole Beharie.
The Morning Show explores the cutthroat world of morning news and the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning. Season 3 left the fate of UBA once again up in the air after Alex (Aniston) manages to take down Paul Marks (Hamm) by logjamming the sale of UBA to his tech company, Hyperion. But now, it appears UBA will be merging with another media company to keep the network afloat, which could spell layoffs and restructuring to come in Season 4.

Cotillard became the second French actress to ever win an Academy Award and the first to win an acting award for a performance in the French language in 2018 for her performance as Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose.
Cotillard can currently be seen starring in Mona Achache’s docudrama, Little Girl Blue. Based on true events from the director’s own life, following the death of her mother (Cotillard), when Achache discovers thousands of the matriarch’s photos, letters and recordings – these buried secrets make her disappearance even more of an enigma. For her performance, Cotillard was nominated for a César Award in the category of Best Actress.
Later this year, she will be seen in Ellen Kuras’ Lee alongside Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Andrea Riseborough and Josh O’Connor.
Cotillard is repped at Agence Adequat in France and CAA in the U.S.
