On Monday, March 16, the Legally Blonde star shared a glimpse of her first day filming season 5 of The Morning Show, posting a video of herself greeting cast and crew on set.
“Missed this amazing crew so much!” Witherspoon, 49, wrote in the caption. “Season 5 here we come… and yes, I will be hugging everyone on set.”
