As the movie industry struggles to stay relevant, Matt and his team navigate their insecurities while managing narcissistic artists and corporate overlords—all in the elusive pursuit of creating great films.
Beneath their power suits and carefully curated confidence, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show is a high-stakes gamble—leading to either glittering success or career-ending disaster. Matt, who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, has finally landed his dream job, but it just might destroy him.

What to Expect in Episode 1
In the premiere episode, we meet Matt Remick (Seth Rogen), a passionate studio executive who still believes in artistic integrity in an industry increasingly driven by intellectual property and profit. After securing a long-awaited promotion to studio head following the firing of his mentor, longtime executive Patty Leigh (Catherine O’Hara), Matt quickly realizes that his dream job comes with nightmarish challenges—courtesy of the ruthless new CEO, Griffin Mill (Bryan Cranston).

Our Review: 5/5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
With a witty, sharp script, The Studio brilliantly satirizes Hollywood’s behind-the-scenes chaos. The show’s depiction of real-life industry figures, combined with stunning cinematography and impressive long takes (or “oners,” which are a highlight of Episode 2), makes for a highly engaging watch. We’re eagerly looking forward to more episodes.
