Seth Rogen is parodying a legacy Hollywood movie studio trying to survive in a world where it is increasingly difficult for art and commerce to live together and he’s got quite the ensemble together for it.
Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders are starring in The Studio for Apple TV+.
It comes after Deadline revealed Rogen had created, was starring in, co-writing, co-directing and exec producing the series last year.
In addition to Schitt’s Creek star O’Hara, WandaVision star Hahn, Jury Duty star Barinholtz and Bodies, Bodies, Bodies star Wonders, the series includes guest stars Bryan Cranston, Keyla Monterroso Mejia and Dewayne Perkins.
Written and directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the series has started filming. Co-created include Frida Perez and Veep duo Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory, it is produced by Rogen, Evan Goldberg & James Weaver’s Point Grey Pictures and Lionsgate, where the company is based. Point Grey Pictures’ James Weaver, Alex McAtee and Josh Fagen also serve as executive producers alongside Rogen and Goldberg.
It is Rogen’s latest series at Apple, which renewed Platonic, which also stars Rose Byrne, for a second season.
