'We're thrilled to be making a second season of The Studio. We're looking forward to taking the lived experience of making Season 1 and immediately putting it into Season 2, then repeating that loop for 10 more seasons,' said creators and executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. 'And, we're excited to keep all our industry friends and colleagues guessing as to when one of their personal stories will stream on Apple TV+.'
'Seth, Evan, the entire creative team and cast of The Studio have knocked it out of the park with this brilliant show, and it has been incredible to watch the conversation grow with each new episode,' said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+, before referencing one of the show's viral gags, a movie based on the flavored drink Kool-Aid. 'We can't wait to see where Matt Remick takes Continental Studios in Season 2, and hope for his sake that the Kool-Aid movie crushes at the box office.'
Co-created by Rogen and Goldberg, as well as Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory (Veep) and Frida Perez, The Studio focuses on Matt Remick (Rogen), the newly installed studio boss at the fictitious Continental Studios. The show's first season tracks Matt's ups and downs on the job, including having to tell Martin Scorsese (as himself) that his planned movie about Jonestown was being scrapped. Significant Hollywood filmmakers play themselves in the series, including Scorsese, Sarah Polley, Ron Howard, Zoë Kravitz, Parker Finn, and Olivia Wilde. Rogen leads the regular cast alongside Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Catherine O'Hara. Bryan Cranston is a recurring guest star as the CEO of Continental Studios.
The Studio has earned rave reviews since its world premiere at the South by Southwest Film and Television Festival in March. The show is predicted to land several Emmy Award nominations, including Best Comedy, Best Comedy Actor (Rogen), Best Comedy Supporting Actor (Barinholtz), and Best Comedy Supporting Actress (O'Hara). Many other nominations, including guest bids for Scorsese and Polley, are also in play.
Rogen has openly talked about his hopes and wishes for a second season. The filmmaker co-directed every episode of Season 1, which utilized unbroken takes to enhance the comedy and anxiety. The show's second episode, 'The Oner,' was presented as one unbroken take for 22 minutes.
This week's episode occurs during the Golden Globe Awards and features multiple celebrity cameos, including Jean Smart, Adam Scott, and Netflix boss Ted Sarandos.
All episodes of The Studio stream on Apple TV+.
