Apple TV+ has revealed a first look at its highly anticipated half-hour comedy series The Studio, starring Seth Rogen, who also serves as writer, director, and executive producer. The 10-episode series is set to make its global debut with the first two episodes streaming on March 26, 2025, followed by weekly episodes every Wednesday through May 21, 2025. Combining Hollywood satire with razor-sharp wit, The Studio promises to be a hilarious and chaotic dive into the inner workings of the film industry.
A Comedy About Surviving Hollywood
In The Studio, Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of Continental Studios, a once-powerful movie studio struggling to stay relevant in an ever-changing industry. Surrounded by an ensemble of equally anxious executives, Matt finds himself juggling the egos of temperamental artists, manipulative corporate overlords, and his own insecurities, all in pursuit of making great films.

“It’s the job Matt’s been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him,” teases the show’s synopsis. From star-studded awards shows to disastrous marketing meetings, The Studio captures the absurdity and high stakes of Hollywood with biting humor and heart.
A Brilliant Lineup of Talent
The Studio boasts an impressive ensemble cast led by Seth Rogen and featuring Emmy, SAG, and Golden Globe winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek), Emmy nominee Kathryn Hahn (WandaVision), Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project), and Chase Sui Wonders (Bodies Bodies Bodies). Adding to the excitement, Bryan Cranston, the Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner, will appear as a guest star, lending his comedic and dramatic chops to the series.
Behind the Scenes of The Studio
Hailing from Lionsgate Television, The Studio is the brainchild of multi-Emmy Award winners Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory (Veep), alongside Rogen, his longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, and Frida Perez. The project reunites Rogen and Goldberg with Point Grey Pictures’ James Weaver, Alex McAtee, and Josh Fagen, all of whom serve as executive producers.
This marks the latest collaboration between Apple TV+ and Seth Rogen, who also stars in and executive produces the hit Apple Original comedy Platonic alongside Rose Byrne. The Studio joins Apple TV+’s growing lineup of critically acclaimed comedies, which include Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Mythic Quest.
Hollywood Satire Meets Heartfelt Chaos
The teaser trailer for The Studio offers a hilarious glimpse into the absurdities of Hollywood life. From lavish parties and ego-driven set visits to disastrous casting decisions and career-threatening mistakes, every moment is ripe for comedy. The stakes are high, the humor is sharp, and the characters are as relatable as they are ridiculous.
Apple TV+’s investment in sharp, character-driven comedies continues to pay off, and The Studio is shaping up to be a standout in its lineup. With its star-studded cast and biting satirical edge, the series is poised to offer a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood like never before.
