What happens

The Studio is an American satirical cringe comedy television series created by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez. It stars Rogen as an embattled Hollywood studio head struggling to balance corporate demands with his own film production desires. Catherine O'Hara (in her final appearance before her death), Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Kathryn Hahn play supporting roles. The series was released on Apple TV with the first two episodes on March 26, 2025. The series has been renewed for a second season. The Studio received acclaim for its direction, performances, cinematography, humor, and sharp film industry satire. Viewers and critics have highlighted its extensive use of long takes, as well as for featuring high-profile celebrity cameos in every episode. In its first season, the show earned 23 nominations at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, making it the most-nominated comedy debut in history and tying the record for the most nominations for a single comedy season. It went on to win 13 Emmys from those nominations (including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Rogen), breaking the record for most wins for a comedy series in a single season. The season also received the Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy and Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards.
