The teaser introduces a new character, a tech titan played by Jon Hamm, who takes an interest in UBA and offers the team a lifeline. He cryptically tells them, “You need a miracle.” But with a mix of high stakes and personal agendas, unexpected alliances form, and private truths become powerful weapons as loyalties are put to the test both in and out of the newsroom.
The second season ended with the world on the brink of lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and it left the show’s future uncertain.
