After four years, Greta Lee is now leaving The Morning Show.
Lee has been playing Stella Bak, the president of UBA’s news division, since 2021.
But on the latest episode of season four, her character becomes entangled in a scandal and embarks on an airplane solo.
Now, Lee believes this may be the last time viewers will be seeing Bak on The Morning Show.
‘I’m just going to say straight up, I think this is the end,’ she revealed to People. ‘I think this is goodbye. And I know that’s hard, but I think that there’s certain… Again, I keep thinking about wanting to do her justice, and do right by her.
‘And there’s a certain point sometimes with certain characters where the story ends. And the story, in my mind, needs to end because of everything that she’s been through, and the person she was when she started on this journey, she was so full of this bright-eyed optimism, and the world that existed a few years ago is gone.’

Season 4 picks up in the spring of 2024, nearly two years after the chaos of Season 3 — from the explosive merger to Bradley’s reckoning over deleting footage of her brother Hal (Joe Tippett) at the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
This time, the drama dives headfirst into UBN’s shifting leadership under Alex, Stella (Greta Lee), and Marion Cotillard’s Celine Dumont, as well as the rise of artificial intelligence, the threat of deepfakes, and the ever-fractured line between truth and trust in journalism.
Bak saw herself as an ‘innovator’ who had the ability to ‘change the vision of this company’ when she first was introduced to viewers, Lee told People.
Her character was ‘so passionate about equity and diversity, and the power of representation, but really meant it,’ Lee added.
