Jennifer Aniston gets back to work on The Morning Show after months-long pandemic production break

Jennifer Aniston dons clear face shield as she gets back to work on The Morning Show after months-long pandemic production break

She received rave reviews – and a Screen Actors Guild Award – for her work on The Morning Show’s first season.

And Jennifer Aniston was back to work on Tuesday, seen on set in LA for the first time since the pandemic started months ago.

The Friends talent, 51, took every precaution, heading from hair and makeup to set wearing a face shield.

The production was on board too, with sanitizer dispensers spotted throughout. 

Jennifer was bundled up for the scene, donning a long teddy coat with black leather gloves. Her caramel locks were styled in tousled waves and she kept her makeup look to a minimal glow. 

Before cameras began rolling, she had someone bring over a mirror so she could make sure her makeup was all in order.

It seemed like a dramatic scene, as Jen pursed her lips and gazed off into the distance while cameras got up close.

Earlier this month the beauty shared some snapshots from set of the Apple TV+ show.

On the series, inspired by the Brian Stelter book Top Of The Morning: Inside The Cutthroat World Of Morning TV, Aniston plays TV anchor Alex Levy.

Levy is forced to fight for her job after her on-air colleague Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) is fired for sexual misconduct.

It’s then she finds herself at odds with Reese Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson, an ambitious, shoot-from-the-hip style field reporter.

The project earned both Reese and Jennifer Golden Globe Nominations. (They ended up losing to Olivia Coleman in The Crown.) 

Jen and Reese first worked together more than a decade ago as the Green sisters on the classic television show, Friends.

Jennifer will join her former Friends co-stars next year for a reunion after efforts to reunite this year were stalled due to the coronavirus.

She’ll join Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow for a one-off special of their hit NBC sitcom, which will see them reminisce about their time on the much-loved series.
