Apple TV+'s The Morning Show returned on the streaming platform for its fourth season on September 17, 2025. But the third episode of the season, "Tipping Point," introduces us to a character named Bethanne Hines, who is played by actress Käthe Mazur. While her screentime is very little in the episode, she does play a pivotal role in the episode.

It seems that Mazur is a prolific actress who has appeared in numerous popular projects as a side character. Thus, it was genuinely surprising for some to see her appear as Bethanne in the latest episode of The Morning Show Season 4.

It seems that The Morning Show actress Käthe Mazur has been around on television for over twenty years. Therefore, it isn't surprising to see her being the center of attention for a scene in this popular Apple TV+ show. However, it seems that she is known for her work as an audiobook narrator.

Who is The Morning Show Season 4 Episode 3's Bethanne Hines?

Chip and Bradley learn about Bethanne thanks to another returning character: Claire Conway, who is described as one of UBA's "conscientious Head of News”. Bradley receives a document titled "2019-liabilities" from Claire, which points out the former and Chip towards Bethanne. Through this file, they learn that Hines was paid $2 million after the Wolf River story got nixed.

Chip later meets Bethanne in the latter half of this The Morning Show episode. After revealing that she signed an NDA, Bethanne pretends to chastise him while typing a text to Chip, instructing him to go through the October 2018 UBA archives for Wolf River depositions, setting up an intriguing mystery for the future.

What is Claire doing in The Morning Show Season 4?

Bel Powley's Claire Conway was a part of the first two seasons. But she sat out the third season, which is why it was surprising when Claire returned in this season. Showrunner Charlotte Stoudt addressed Claire's return in a Deadline interview:

“When I came on in Season 3, I actually wanted Claire in that season too. I’d always been thinking about what a fascinating character she was, and it didn’t really work out story-wise in Season 3, and I believe Bel was busy, but we had always had her in the back of our minds. As we were in the room for Season 4, we were noticing all these protest actions by Extinction Rebellion stopping the Broadway show in the middle, throwing paint onto things, blocking traffic in London. I always felt Claire had a real zeal, a rebellious, revolutionary energy.”

Then, the showrunner continued:

“We thought, ’Well, wow, what if she had joined one of those groups because she hadn’t gotten justice for Hannah?’ What if she was still trying to burn all the institutions down? What if she came into our lives again in that way?’ So she was the perfect carrier for this cover-up story that we wanted to be the centerpiece of the season.”
