Jennifer Aniston recently shared candid reflections on her career, personal life, and future aspirations in an interview with Vanity Fair, published on August 11, 2025. Aniston is currently promoting the upcoming fourth season of "The Morning Show," which is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on September 17, 2025. The new season, set in the spring of 2024, will explore the challenges of journalism in an era of misinformation.
Aniston, reprising her role as Alex Levy, spoke about the complexity of her character and the show's relevance to the current media landscape. The narrative will pick up two years after the third season's events, addressing the aftermath of the UBA-NBN merger. The actress also spoke emotionally about the loss of her "Friends" co-star, Matthew Perry, who passed away in October 2023, expressing her grief and finding solace in the thought that his suffering has ended. Looking forward, Aniston is considering writing a memoir, aiming to share her life's journey and accumulated wisdom when she feels she has enough material.
Additionally, Aniston is set to star in and executive produce a ten-episode series for Apple TV+ based on Jennette McCurdy's memoir, "I'm Glad My Mom Died." This project, which began development in July 2025, features Aniston playing the mother in a story about a codependent relationship. The interview also touched upon Aniston's past, including her divorce from Brad Pitt, noting that a 2005 Vanity Fair cover story following their split felt like "one for the memoirs." She also mentioned ongoing conversations with Gwyneth Paltrow about their shared experiences related to Pitt. Sources describe Aniston as currently being in a more peaceful and confident phase of her life, reflected in her career approach and willingness to share her experiences.
