Seth Rogen's 'The Studio' Debuts to Acclaim as a Satirical Critique of Hollywood

The Apple TV+ comedy series blends sharp humor, high production values, and biting commentary on the film industry's flaws and challenges.

The Studio premiered its first two episodes on Apple TV+ on March 26, 2025, following critical acclaim at its SXSW debut earlier in the month.
Created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the series satirizes Hollywood's obsession with profit-driven blockbusters and declining artistic integrity.
Rogen stars as Matt Remick, a studio head navigating the tension between creative ambition and commercial demands in a chaotic industry.
The show features high production values, celebrity cameos, and a mix of humor and drama, with performances by Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, and Kathryn Hahn drawing praise.
Critics have lauded the series' sharp humor and insightful commentary, though some note unevenness in its satire as it explores Hollywood's existential challenges.
