Jennifer Aniston and Jon Hamm's sex scene has gone viral with people left shocked

People are flooding to social media in shock over Jennifer Aniston and Jon Hamm's sex scene.

Season three of The Morning Show came to Apple TV last month, but discussion around the series has drastically picked up after episode six, titled The Stanford Student, was released yesterday (11 October).

The episode sees Jennifer Aniston - who plays the role of reporter Alex Levy - and Jon Hamm - tech billionaire Paul Marks - take part in a particularly steamy scene. Prepare to blush a deep shade of rouge:

In the build-up to the scene, Hamm's character of Marks is looking to buy the UBA Network for a hefty $40 billion.

Marks sits down for an interview with Levy for her segment Alex Unfiltered and ends up apologising for some of his previous, controversial behaviour as a tech giant.

Despite the serious nature of the conversation, it must've reignited the lurking flame between the duo, the pair later ending up falling into bed with one another - the interview very much forgotten, and at the back of viewers' minds too.

Let's just say, you have to see it for yourself, and it certainly gives Fifty Shades a run for its money, viewers flooding to social media in shock over just how saucy the scene gets.

One X - formerly known as Twitter - user said: "Actually incredible how Jennifer Aniston and Jon Hamm are two very beautiful people and yet their sex scene in tonight’s Morning Show is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.

"Their post coital cuddle is Jon Hamm lying fully on his stomach with Jennifer Aniston lying completely on top of his back. Both fully naked."

"Okay, I gotta say the sex scene with Jennifer Aniston and Jon Hamm in the latest The Morning Show episode on AppleTV was, pretty pretty pretty hot..." another argued.

A third wrote: "I could watch Jennifer Aniston & Jon Hamm sex scenes all night."

And a final resolved: "Gotta give it to The Morning Show, a Rachel Green/Don Draper sex scene is an impressive television history feat."

Director and executive producer of the series Mimi Leder delved into the filming of the sex scene in further detail in an interview with Variety.

Leder explained: "It was a closed set, and two very grown-up actors who really understood the nature of the storytelling and were very much a part of it.

"We wanted it to be sensitive. We wanted it to be sexy. We wanted it to be adult. We wanted it to be emotional. They really let go. They’re great actors. And there you have it."

Reflecting on how the scene works within the episode as a whole, Leder resolved: "It’s sort of a rom-com episode, but it’s also a very important, political episode and a turning point in the series."
