The Apple TV+ series "The Studio," created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, concluded its first season with a finale featuring a drug-fueled sequence set in the Venetian Resort casino, starring Bryan Cranston. The show, a satire of Hollywood, has drawn praise for its smart and chaotic storytelling, as well as its extensive roster of A-list guest stars including Zoë Kravitz, Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O’Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Ron Howard, Sarah Polley, and Dave Franco. Franco, who has collaborated with Rogen and Goldberg since 2007, discussed his experience filming the finale and the show's atmosphere. Kravitz described her role as a "more psychotic" version of herself and emphasized the importance of self-parody in comedy. The creators noted that television offers more opportunities for bold ideas compared to film, which led to a competitive bidding war for the series. Looking ahead to season two, Rogen and Goldberg expressed interest in securing James Cameron and Daniel Day-Lewis as guest stars, with Rogen personally inviting Day-Lewis to participate via Zoom to pitch ideas. The series has been highlighted for its humor and industry insight, with some suggesting it as an Emmy contender.
