Seth Rogen flips the mirror on Hollywood in The Studio, a new satire series that boasts a high-wattage lineup of guest stars.
Premiering on Wednesday, March 26, the series stars Rogen as Matt Remick, the newly-appointed head of the fictional Continental Studios. Per the logline, “As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films.”

“I was making The Fabelmans actually, and I was kind of just really inspired by how personal a movie Steven [Spielberg] was making; I also was rewatching The Larry Sanders Show because it was still kind of the midst of the pandemic, and I was very inspired by that,” Rogen recently told The Hollywood Reporter at the SXSW red carpet how he conceived the show alongside his co-creators. “That’s something I grew up loving and so I thought that maybe we could make something that was very personal based on our experiences that was like the real, hopefully definitive, show business satire for this current era.”
“Being the head of Continental is the only job I’ve ever wanted. I got into all of this because I love movies, but now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them,” says Rogen (as Matt) in the trailer.
