    Jennifer Aniston has compared her The Morning Show schedule to "childbirth"

    The Friends actress stars alongside Reese Witherspoon in the Apple TV+ drama - which is about to return for its four season - and she admitted she always has doubts about whether or not she'll return for another grueling run


    She told Glamour magazine: "I don't know. Every year since I finished the first season, I was like, 'Well, that's it - I'm dead. That just killed me'. And then you forget.

    "I kind of compare it to what childbirth must be like when my friends are like, 'You just kind of forget what it was, and then next thing you know you're knocked up again.'

    "And having that same agony of pushing that watermelon out of a tiny little pinhole and then you just get to do it again."

    The 56-year-old star revealed she has her own approach when a season wraps, rather than immediately dismissing the idea of doing another.

    She added: "I do feel there's something extraordinary about finishing a season and not saying those words of, 'I'm done.'

    "And just knowing that you've got to decompress and walk away from it for a while, and in my case, go do a comedy as fast as possible."

    Despite the grind of The Morning Show, Jennifer - who also serves as an ex ecutive producer on the series - has learned a lot about herself through the whole process, including "pushing [her] limits".

    Asked what lessons she's learned, she added: "That I absolutely love producing and being that involved from the ground up in creating something that's really high quality.

    "[I've learned] that women are beyond capable to make great television and produce a show with elegance and grace and kindness to one another.

    "And we trust one another. When one of us has to work and put ourselves in front of the camera, you trust the others are going to pick up the ball and take care of the other end of it."
