‘The Studio’ lampoons the Hollywood showbiz machine with a deep bench of stars

In the world of TV, I’m utterly captivated by “The Studio,” an outstanding new series from Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez. Premiering this Wednesday on Apple TV+, it’s a rollercoaster ride! I, as Matt Remick, have spent 22 years working for the fictional Continental Studios, and suddenly find myself at the helm when my boss, Patty Leigh (played brilliantly by Catherine O’Hara), is let go by new CEO Griffin Mill (Bryan Cranston).

The twist? I’m supposed to back Mill’s new intellectual property acquisition – Kool-Aid. It seems that in this studio, we don’t produce films, we create movies – ones that audiences are eager to pay for. However, after declaring my intention to “rejuvenate cinema and make daring decisions,” the Kool-Aid news has me becoming a topic of ridicule. I can hardly wait for Wednesday night!
