Karen Pittman tells THR what still challenges her in the role of Mia Jordan while at the season four premiere of 'The Morning Show.' Plus, she discusses how the new season (set in 2024) tackles the political landscape of the year.
Transcript
00:00After four seasons, what still challenges you the most about this role?
00:05About the role, I think, you know, the morning show is incredible in that we keep turning things around.
00:12Like, the writers don't quit. Like, they're relentless.
00:14I mean, season three, Mia was speaking Russian.
00:18Season four, Mia's playing pool.
00:19Like, there's no end to the research, to the lessons, to the things that I do on this show.
00:26So I think one of the challenges is always bringing your A-game.
00:30But that helps because we've got great new actors coming into the story all the time.
00:34They make you want to do more. They make you want to be better.
00:38And working with people like Mimi Leder and Charlotte Stout, just, you know, you want to do your best.
00:44I know this season takes place in 2024.
00:47Of course, a big political year.
00:49How much does the show tackle the politics?
00:51And are we going to see any part of the election?
00:55You know, we tackle the politics of work life, business, corporate life, C-suites, how people live every day.
01:06And I think that that is part of what makes our show so timeless.
01:11That we're not, again, chasing headlines.
01:14You know, we're not ripping it from the headline.
01:15We are actually tapping into deeper stories that are important to our audience.
01:20But also stories that are based in our characters.
01:24You know, and Alex and Bradley and Mia and, you know, Corey.
01:28These are all people who have a lot of art, you know.
01:32And our story is grounded in characters.
01:34And as a plot twist, you get to know more about them.
01:36And I think that's what makes it special.
