First look: Seth Rogen stars in Apple TV+ series The Studio

Seth Rogen is reuniting with Apple TV+ for new series The Studio, and a teaser trailer gives us a first look at the satirical comedy.
The 10-part series sees Rogen (who previously starred in Apple series Platonic) play Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of embattled Continental Studios. As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps and breathes movies, it’s the job Matt’s been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.
Hailing from Lionsgate Television, The Studio is created by Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory, along with Rogen, Goldberg and Frida Perez. Point Grey Pictures’ James Weaver, Alex McAtee and Josh Fagen also serve as executive producers alongside Rogen and Goldberg.
In front of the camera, Rogen is joined by Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders. Bryan Cranston will also appear as a guest star.
You can see them in action on 26th March 2025, when the first two episodes arrive together, followed by episodes weekly until the final on 21st May.
