The Studio

When Matt Remick lands the job running Continental Studios, he inherits a handpicked group of executives, stubborn directors, and a roster of temperamental talent. What follows is a messy, often funny scramble to satisfy corporate shareholders while keeping creative teams engaged, and to make films that audiences still care about. The show watches office meetings, late-night arguments, red-carpet damage control, and awkward friendship moments, and it keeps the stakes human rather than heroic. Matt and his colleagues juggle PR crises, studio politics, and the ever-shifting demands of stars who want approval as much as paychecks, all while trying to steer the studio toward projects that feel meaningful without breaking the balance sheet.

Released in 2025, the series was created by Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Seth Rogen. The ensemble cast includes Seth Rogen as Matt Remick, Catherine O'Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Kathryn Hahn, and the show blends workplace sitcom rhythms with serialized drama.

As of its debut season the series hasn't won major industry awards, and there were no big Emmy or Golden Globe trophies reported at launch. It did, however, earn steady attention from viewers and trade coverage that tracked its industry satire and star-driven performances.

The show quickly sparked conversations on social media and in industry circles about how studios balance commerce and artistry. Viewers clipped scenes that show the awkward realities of modern publicity, and certain character dynamics—like the uneasy alliance between executives and creatives—became common reference points in articles and podcasts about Hollywood culture.

Critical and audience reaction has leaned positive, with a 7.6/10 average from 265 votes reflecting steady approval. Reviewers and viewers tend to highlight the strong ensemble and the series' willingness to mix sharp jokes with frank looks at power and insecurity, and recurring themes include celebrity approval, creative compromise, and what it takes to keep movies relevant in a changing market.
