Seth Rogen tries not to ruin movies in Apple TV+ comedy ‘The Studio’
The new comedy gives a behind-the-scenes look at a movie studio barely keeping it together.
“I got into all this cause, you know, I love movies. But now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them.” That’s the opening line of the trailer for Apple TV+’s new series, “The Studio,” and it perfectly captures the anxiety at the heart of the show. Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, a passionate movie buff thrown into the high-stakes chaos of running the embattled Continental Studios. But keeping movies alive—and staying sane—won’t be easy, especially when he’s navigating oversized egos, panicked executives, and corporate meddling at every turn. “The Studio” premieres globally with its first two episodes on Wednesday, March 26, exclusively on Apple TV+.

About ‘The Studio’
If you’ve ever wondered how your favorite movies survive (or completely implode) behind the scenes, “The Studio” is here to pull back the curtain. This sharp, 10-episode comedy takes us deep into the turbulent world of Continental Studios, where newly promoted studio boss Matt Remick (Seth Rogen) faces nonstop chaos trying to hold everything together. Between clashing egos, nervous breakdowns, and absurdly high stakes at every film premiere or award show, Matt’s dream job quickly becomes his personal nightmare. Created by Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory alongside Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Frida Perez, the series hopes to capture the blend of dark humor, Hollywood satire, and genuine love for movies. With a stacked cast including Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and a guest spot from Bryan Cranston, this comedy goes behind the scenes where each Hollywood dream is just one misstep away from disaster.
