Seth Rogen’s beleaguered Hollywood exec will return as AppleTV+ renews The Studio. More on season 2 below.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg set out to parody modern Hollywood while also bathing in pure movie magic with The Studio, AppleTV+’s ambitious comedy series that premiered in March. The comedy has been well received: Simon Brew was enthusiastic about the series in his review.
AppleTV+ has now renewed Rogen and Goldberg’s show for season 2, as reported by Variety. The news comes just as the first run’s final episode becomes available on the streaming platform.
If you’re unfamiliar with the series, it follows Rogen’s Matt Remick, who becomes the head of Continental Studios and tries to balance his love for art with commercial movie making. The Studio also uses one-shot takes for most of its scenes and includes a lot of Rogen and Goldberg’s signature humour. It’s a hoot.

“We’re thrilled to be making a second season of The Studio,” Rogen and Goldberg, co-creators and executive producers, said about the renewal. “We’re looking forward to taking the lived experience of making season one and immediately putting it into season two, then repeating that loop for ten more seasons. 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+.”
Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, Catherine O’Hara and Chase Sui Wonders also star in the show, but it’s the cameos and supporting roles that’ll likely leave your jaw on the floor. Across the first season, we’ve seen major Hollywood stars like Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, Zac Efron, Charlize Theron and even Martin Scorsese make appearances.
No word on when we might see The Studio season 2, but we’ll keep you updated on that.
