They had a whole bunch of scripts [then] and they rewrote everything to include the #MeToo movement and now we have another, bigger global phenomenon to deal with. I don't know what they're doing, but I know they're rewriting."
Aniston confirmed the descriptionsDeadline, adding that "a good six or maybe seven outlines" of the show were completed before completion.

"And then the COVID crisis happened."
The star of the series, which has since garnered her first Emmy nominationFriendsIn 2004 he says the scripts will reflect the current transformation of the world. “Now Kerry is back at the drawing board and we are integrating COVID in a very exciting way. I mean, I'm not calling COVID exciting at all, I'm in terms of where Season 1 ended up because the covers were taken offline," he explained. Aniston added that the months of quarantine has resulted in "a lot of thought, a lot of digging, and a lot of inner work," all of which will be explored in Season 2.
Will the original cast return?
Currently, Aniston, Witherspoon and Crudup, who played news boss Cory Ellison, are all poised to return. said HonorTHRin December 2019 that the dynamic between the two female leads provides even more fodder for season two:
The interesting thing about Alex and Bradley is that they barely know each other. They have known each other for three months of working together. If you work with someone for three months, you don't know them very well. They went through two really traumatic experiences together that forged their souls in a way. But they don't really know each other as people yet, so we'll be playing some of those next season.
Less clear was the fate of Steve Carell's character, who gives a powerful look directly at the camera at the end of the season. Honor previously explainedTHR, “We want him to come back in Season 2. It's in the works, but it's not a settled deal yet."TV line confirmed in early October that CarellthisSign up for another season playing Mitch Kessler. And sure enough, the Season 2 trailer features new footage starring Carell.
Crudup, who won an Emmy for his performance, saidDeadline that Carell's character was subjected to a decades-long process of redemption. "I have a feeling if you've put so many years of work into something acceptable that you've put into something unacceptable, then I'll speak to you," Crudup told the outlet. "And if you want to rebuild your life from there, that's fine. But when you work as hard as Mitch did to undermine, oppress and traumatize people because you just didn't have time to deal with it, you have a lot of work to do."
Other returning cast members include Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Bel Powley, Karen Pittman and Desean Terry, Janina Gavankar, Tom Irwin and Marcia Gay Harden.
