Production for the highly anticipated second season of the hit comedy series 'The Studio' will commence filming in just one week, star and co-creator Seth Rogen has officially confirmed. The news follows the show's recent triumph at the Golden Globes, where it secured the award for Best Musical or Comedy TV Series.
Award-Winning Satire Set for Swift Return
Speaking to Variety after the Globes ceremony, Rogen revealed that the creative team has been so inspired by real-life events that they have already woven moments from the awards season into the new scripts. "We start shooting in a week," he stated, adding that several incidents from the lead-up to and the night of the Globes have been directly incorporated into upcoming episodes.
The first season, which debuted on Apple TV+ in March last year, earned widespread critical praise, achieving an impressive 92 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It features Rogen as Matt Remick, a film enthusiast who unexpectedly becomes the head of a major Hollywood studio struggling to adapt to the industry's modern, IP-obsessed landscape.
Star-Studded Cast and Cameo Bonanza
Co-created by Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Peter Huyck, the series boasts a stellar ensemble including Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, and Chase Sui Wonders. Its appeal was magnified by a slew of high-profile cameos from figures like directors Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard, and actors Anthony Mackie and Charlize Theron.
Rogen teased that season two is set to feature even more special appearances, with numerous celebrities expressing direct interest. "A lot of people literally just come up to us and were like, 'Put me on your show. I'll do anything. I'll walk by!'" he shared, noting that even real studio executives like Sony's Tom Rothman are eager to participate.
Audience and Critical Acclaim
Fan reception has been overwhelmingly positive since the premiere. Reviews on platforms like IMDb have hailed the show as "the best comedy series I have seen in years" and praised its smart, hilarious writing and polished execution. Viewers have particularly enjoyed the meta-humour and the authentic feel of the Hollywood setting, enhanced by celebrities playing themselves.
With its unique blend of insider satire, an all-star cast, and now a major award win, The Studio has cemented itself as a must-watch. The confirmation of imminent production for season two will undoubtedly satisfy the show's rapidly growing fanbase, who are eager to see what chaotic Hollywood adventures await Matt Remick and his team next.
The Studio is available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+.
