Seth Rogen’s 'The Studio' Earns Praise for Sharp Hollywood Satire

The Apple TV+ series blends comedy and industry critique, featuring a star-studded cast and innovative cinematography.

Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, a newly appointed studio head navigating the clash between artistic ambition and commercial demands.
The series, co-created by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, offers a comedic yet critical look at the modern film industry, including its obsession with IP-driven projects like a fictional Kool-Aid movie.
Notable for its use of single-shot scenes, the show creates a chaotic, immersive atmosphere that mirrors the high-pressure environment of Hollywood studios.
The ensemble cast includes Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, and Ike Barinholtz, with celebrity cameos from Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, and Charlize Theron, among others.
Critics highlight the show's insider humor, strong performances, and balance of affection and frustration for the state of contemporary filmmaking.
