Are you ready for another great Apple TV+ show? Seth Rogen will deliver it to you with The Studio.
When it comes to Apple TV+, I’m sure there are plenty of things we all know about the streaming service that make it one of the best streaming services of 2024. With its incredible movies and their award-winning TV shows, the platform has great hits.
And now, there’s a brand new series called The Studio, hailing from Seth Rogen. What is this new show going to be about? Who is going to star? This is what we know so far about The Studio, which you’ll be able to watch with an Apple TV+ subscription.
What Is The Studio Premiere Date?
As of December 2024, it’s confirmed by Apple that The Studio will release on March 26, 2025. This means that it will be a part of the 2025 TV premiere schedule.
2024 has been filled to the brim with TV releases so I’m eager to start off 2025 with a new show like this one.
Seth Rogen, Catherine O’Hara, And More Star
The Studio already has a star-studded cast, so here is who you can expect to see in the series:
Seth Rogen
Seth Rogen will be starring in The Studio.
You’ve seen Rogen everywhere. He's as synonymous with Hollywood as the Hollywood sign, because if he’s not acting, he’s producing and creating. Aside from that, if you’re wondering about the films he’s been in, there are a fair amount.
To name some of his most memorable, you might recognize him from movies like The Fablemans, Pineapple Express, Neighbors, This Is The End, Knocked Up, The Interview and many more. He was also a part of the Superbad cast.
In television, aside from many producing roles, Rogen has also starred in shows like Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, Big Mouth, Invincible, and many others. He also played a main role in the Pam & Tommy cast and starred in the series, Platonic.
Catherine O’Hara
Various other actors will star. Catherine O’Hara is one of them.
O’Hara has been in the business for decades and has appeared in various films. Still, you might recognize her the most from the hilarious first two Home Alone films, the iconic Beetlejuice and its sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, or The Nightmare Before Christmas, among others.
The actress has also had a prominent career in television, and almost certainly, fans know her from her time in the Schitt’s Creek cast, a role that won her an Emmy. She’ll also be in the upcoming second season of The Last of Us.
Kathryn Hahn
Another actress confirmed was Kathryn Hahn. She has appeared in various TV shows like Crossing Jordan and Tiny Beautiful Things, but gained a lot of worldwide fame in 2021 for her portrayal of Agatha in WandaVision, and even more so when Agatha All Along released later on in 2024.
Aside from that, Hahn has also appeared in movies like How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days, Our Idiot Brother, The Visit, Glass Onion, and more.
Ike Barinholtz
Ike Barinholtz will also have a role in The Studio. The actor has appeared in shows such as The Mindy Project, The Afterparty, Eastbound & Down, and History of the World: Part II.
He has also appeared in comedy films like Neighbors, Blockers, Sisters, and more.
Chase Sui Wonders
The last leading cast member we know is Chase Sui Wonders. The actress has appeared in movies like Bodies Bodies Bodies (one of the best A24 horror movies), and also held a role in the Max show, Generation.
None of their character names are confirmed just yet, but I think we will be good with a cast like this.
Three Others Are Set To Guest-Star
Deadline confirmed in March 2024 that three guest stars would appear in The Studio: Bryan Cranston, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, and Dewayne Perkins.
These are some great guest stars for the show. Bryan Cranston became a bit of a comedy legend with the show Malcolm in the Middle, but earned plenty of praise for his dramatic role in the Breaking Bad cast.
Mejia is known for her roles in shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Abbott Elementary. While Dewayne Perkins has appeared in various comedy shows, including Saved by the Bell and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Check Out The Trailer For The Studio
If this kind of cast interests you in any way, then you have to check out the trailer for The Studio, above. It gives us our first look at all these stars in action, and Rogen as a very stressed-out producer in Hollywood, which will no doubt lead to all kinds of hilarity.
The Studio Is Parodying A Legacy Hollywood Movie Studio Trying To “Survive” In The Modern World Of Filmmaking
While there was a premise that was released to the public when the show was announced, Apple has given us a lot more of the story that we can expect.
According to the streamer, The Studio will follow Rogen’s Matt Remick, a “newly appointed head” of a movie studio. As “movies struggle” to survive, Matt makes it his mission to work with his executives to somehow make great films despite the pushback he receives from “corporate” companies, “narcissistic” stars and more. But, with these businessmen and shrewd celebrities watching his every move, what Matt has loved doing his “whole life” might be what ends it as well.
I mean, I’m already eager to see this – and I have no doubt Rogen will bring his talent to the forefront.
Evan Goldberg Collaborated With Rogen For The Studio
The last thing that we know from Apple is that Seth Rogen brought in some old friends to work on The Studio with him, one of whom is Evan Goldberg, who is signed on as an executive producer, as well as a director and writer.
For those who don’t know, Goldberg and Rogen worked together on many TV shows prior to this as co-producers. One of their most well-known collaborations is one of the best Amazon Prime shows, The Boys, as well as its spinoff, Gen V.
They’ve also collaborated on movies Rogen has starred in, such as This Is The End and Superbad. It helps that these two are actually childhood best friends, and usually, whenever they create something, it’s fantastic.
I am so excited about this series, and I feel it will probably join Apple TV+’s best shows. Now, I have to practice patience for The Studio because I barely have any.
