'The Studio' Debuts on Apple TV+ with Hollywood Satire and Star Power

Seth Rogen's comedy series premieres March 26, offering a sharp critique of modern Hollywood alongside a lineup of A-list cameos.

  • The first two episodes of 'The Studio,' co-created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, are now streaming on Apple TV+, with weekly episodes to follow through May 21, 2025.
  • The series stars Rogen as Matt Remick, a fictional studio head navigating Hollywood's absurdities, including producing a Kool-Aid mascot movie as a satirical nod to the industry's IP obsession.
  • Featuring an extensive list of celebrity cameos, including Martin Scorsese, Charlize Theron, and Ron Howard, the show blends insider humor with exaggerated portrayals of real-life Hollywood figures.
  • Critics have praised the series' sharp satire and technical creativity, such as its use of long takes and genre homages, though some reviews highlight uneven depth and over-reliance on cameos.
  • Inspired by Rogen and Goldberg's experiences, including the Sony hack after 'The Interview,' the show explores the challenges of balancing artistic integrity with commercial demands in the streaming era.
