Seth Rogen’s latest project, The Studio, a new series from Apple TV+, promises a fresh and chaotic look at Hollywood. Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of the embattled Continental Studios, a production company struggling to keep its films relevant in a rapidly changing industry, IndieWire reports. The series, set to premiere on March 26, 2025, offers a darkly comic take on the high-stress, high-stakes world of movie making, with Rogen’s character navigating the madness of an industry teetering on the brink of collapse. In a world where the “This is Fine” meme encapsulates the industry's current state, The Studio brings that chaotic energy to life, with Rogen at the heart of it all.
The trailer for The Studio teases a whirlwind of narcissistic artists, craven corporate overlords, and a constant stream of panic-inducing situations. Rogen’s character is tasked with overseeing a studio that can’t seem to stay afloat. From stressful meetings to unhinged award show moments, Remick’s job is a relentless emotional rollercoaster. As a lifelong lover of movies, this job has always been his dream—yet it’s pushing him to the edge. But the stakes couldn’t be higher, and every decision could mean career-ending disaster.
Perhaps the most memorable moment in the trailer comes when legendary director Martin Scorsese makes a cameo as himself, blasting Rogen’s character with the insult: “talentless, spineless.” It's a hilarious and brutal moment that captures the essence of the series: Hollywood's unforgiving and often absurd nature. Rogen and his team of writers, including frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg, clearly draw from their own experiences and observations of the industry to craft this darkly funny narrative.
Star-Studded Cast and High Stakes Comedy
Alongside Rogen, The Studio boasts an ensemble cast of comedic and dramatic heavyweights. Catherine O'Hara, known for her iconic role in Schitt’s Creek, brings her Emmy-winning talent to the series, while Kathryn Hahn, Emmy-nominated for Agatha All Along, also joins the cast. Ike Barinholtz, who starred in Neighbors, and Chase Sui Wonders, known for Bodies Bodies Bodies, add to the star-studded ensemble. Additionally, Bryan Cranston, famous for his role in Breaking Bad, will guest star in the series, further raising the stakes of this high-profile project.
The series will release its first two episodes on March 26, 2025, with new episodes airing every Wednesday until May 21, 2025. The Studio marks Rogen’s reunion with Apple TV+, following his successful collaboration with the streamer on the series Platonic, which also starred Rose Byrne. While a second season of Platonic is confirmed, no release date has been set yet.
With The Studio, Rogen and his team have crafted a show that delivers on both humor and sharp industry commentary, all while featuring a level of celebrity cameos that makes this a must-watch for Hollywood fans. Whether you’re a movie buff or just looking for a new series to sink into, this satire offers a behind-the-scenes look at a world that’s anything but glamorous.
