The Studio Season 2 "Shooting in a Week": Seth Rogen Offers Update

Seth Rogen shared that Apple TV's The Studio Season 2 begins "shooting in a week" and that the Golden Globes have inspired the new season.

If you're Apple TV and EPs Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, you have to be loving how Sunday night's Golden Globes went for the critically acclaimed hit series The Studio. Speaking backstage after the streaming series picked up the hardware for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, Rogen offered an update on how things are looking with the second season, including a confirmation on when filming gets underway and how the Golden Globes helped inspire what's to come (considering the role that the award ceremony played in the show's universe, we're not surprised). "We've literally written some things that happened leading up to this award show into episodes as we've been writing the show. We start shooting in a week," Rogen shared. "So yes, several things have happened, both today and leading up to this event that we have written directly into the show, and you'll probably know what they are when you see them."

That could include some familiar faces who made on-the-spot pitches to Rogen to be a part of the show. "A lot of people literally just come up to us and were like, 'Put me on your show. I'll do anything. I'll walk by!'" Rogen noted. "It's very lovely. The head of Sony, Tom [Rothman, Chairman & CEO, Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group]. I love that real studio heads want to be on the show." Rogen thinks he knows who it was that helped blow open the doors for folks wanting to appear on-screen. "Ted [Sarandos, Netflix co-CEO] kind of ruined it for everyone. But yeah, there's a few people we roped in tonight. This is good poaching ground for us."

Here's a look back at the announcement teaser from May, confirming that the hit Apple TV+ series would be back for a second round of hard-hitting laughs and razor-sharp satire:

Along with Rogen, the cast for the streaming series' first season includes Catherine O'Hara (HBO's The Last of Us), Kathryn Hahn (Disney+'s Agatha All Along), Ike Barinholtz (HBO's White House Plumbers), and Chase Sui Wonders (Peacock's Bupkis) – with Bryan Cranston, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, and Dewayne Perkins set as major recurring guest stars. From Ice Cube and Adam Scott to Zack Snyder, Antony Starr, and Ziwe, here's a rundown of guest stars who appeared:

In Apple TV+'s The Studio, Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of embattled Continental Studios. 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. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it's the job Matt's been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.

Stemming from Lionsgate Television, Apple TV+'s The Studio was created by multi-Emmy Award winners Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory, alongside Rogen, Goldberg, and Frida Perez. Point Grey Pictures' James Weaver, Alex McAtee, and Josh Fagen also serve as executive producers alongside Rogen and Goldberg.
