Apple TV+ series ‘The Studio’ is the ‘best TV show in years’

“The Studio” premieres on Wednesday, March 26, 2025 on Apple TV+.
In “The Studio,” Seth Rogen stars as 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 own 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. Rogen stars alongside a star-studded ensemble cast that also includes Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe Award winner Catherine O’Hara, Emmy Award nominee Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders. Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Bryan Cranston, Keyla Monterroso Mejia and Dewayne Perkins will appear as major recurring guest stars.
The 10-episode Apple TV+ comedy will premiere globally on Wednesday, March 26, 2025 with the first two episodes, followed by one episode every Wednesday through May 21, 2025.

If the cast wasn’t impressive enough, there is an incredible list of A-list stars playing versions of themselves, including Paul Dano, Zac Efron, Zoë Kravitz, Martin Scorsese, Greta Lee, Charlize Theron, Olivia Wilde, Adam Scott, Steve Buscemi, and Anthony Mackie.
The show has already been critically acclaimed among reviewers… Rotten Tomatoes has given the show a 93% score, with IndieWire writing: “Rogen is doing his usual high-pitched panicked comedy, which still works quite well after all these years, but Kathryn Hahn and Catherine O’Hara bring the house down,” while The Hollywood Reporter added: “For those willing to get on its frazzled wavelength, this is a strong contender for the best new comedy of 2025.”
Observer’s review reads: “The Studio and its actors commit to the bit more than most, and the result is a consistently enjoyable, impeccably crafted, and all-around great new comedy.
