"The Studio" is an American satirical comedy series that premiered in March 2025 on NBC, where it quickly became one of the most talked-about new comedies of the year. Co-created, written, directed, and starring Seth Rogen alongside longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, the series offers a sharp yet humorous look at the inner workings of a fictional Hollywood film studio as it navigates the pressures of artistic ambition, corporate demands, and the unpredictable world of moviemaking.

At the heart of the series is Matt Remick (Rogen), the newly appointed head of the embattled Continental Studios.

The show’s ensemble cast includes Emmy, SAG, and Golden Globe Award winner Catherine O’Hara, Emmy Award nominee Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, and Chase Sui Wonders, who bring depth and comic energy to the world of studio politics and personal ambition.
Filmed with a satirical eye on Hollywood culture, "The Studio" combines sharp writing with standout performances to depict the chaotic brilliance and existential challenges of the movie business. Its mix of industry insider humor and heartfelt character moments has resonated with audiences and critics alike, making it a standout addition to NBC’s lineup.
