Seth Rogen’s Hilarious Plea to Vin Diesel: Will We See Dom Toretto on The Studio Season 2?

by

In its initial airing, The Studio showcased numerous big-name Hollywood stars such as Ron Howard and Olivia Wilde portraying exaggerated versions of themselves, along with Charlize Theron making a cool guest appearance in the premiere episode. With the Apple TV+ exclusive show set to appear on the 2025 television lineup after its first season’s conclusion, it’s exciting to know that The Studio will come back for Season 2! Just recently, co-creator, director, writer, and star Seth Rogen hinted at the possibility of Fast & Furious actor Vin Diesel joining the series in the upcoming season. I sure hope this collaboration becomes a reality when the show makes its return!

Seth Rogen And Vin Diesel Have Finally Met

Rogen had previously said that he’s never met the man who’s been playing Dominic Toretto for well over 20 years, but fate intervened to rectify this. The two men crossed paths at an event involving Steven Spielberg’s mysterious 2026 movie, and the Superbad alum snapped a picture of them together to share on his Instagram account:

In this post, there’s no reference to “The Studio,” but I’m hopeful that a conversation between Seth Rogen and Vin Diesel may have sparked the idea for Diesel to make a cameo as himself. Assuming they discussed the comedy series, I find it unlikely that Rogen wouldn’t bring it up given the opportunity. After all, you should always take chances when you can. And even though Diesel is focusing on Fast 11 at the moment, I suspect he’s familiar with “The Studio.” If he’s watched the show and finds it amusing, then the odds of him appearing in it increase significantly.

What Seth Rogen Previously Said About Vin Diesel

Seth Rogen initially expressed his wish for Vin Diesel to join “The Studio” during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, who was hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”. When asked about potential cast members for the upcoming season of the Apple TV+ show, Rogen mentioned that he had Diesel in mind.

I have a number of actors I’d like to collaborate with, and Vin Diesel is one who particularly intrigues me due to his comedic potential. You might find it interesting that, beyond the Fast & Furious films, he’s primarily known as Dom Toretto for many people in their 20s. Therefore, the idea of seeing him portray a character other than Dom Toretto is quite appealing and exciting to me.

As a film enthusiast, let me clarify something that was recently discussed: when Jimmy Kimmel referred to Vin Diesel as “The Pacifier,” Seth Rogen responded by saying, “That movie came out 25 years ago.” For the sake of accuracy, I should correct him – it’s actually been 20 years since the release of The Pacifier. However, Rogen’s point remains valid: over the last decade, Diesel has made a name for himself by starring in movies such as The Last Witch Hunter, XXX: Return of Xander Cage, and Bloodshot. But it’s true that Diesel is still most recognized for leading the Fast & Furious franchise.

Following a brief discussion with Kimmel regarding the fact that the action star’s genuine name isn’t really Vin Diesel, but rather Mark Sinclair, Seth Rogen humorously addressed the camera with a charming appeal.

Hey Vincent, I believe you’re Vincent Bartholomew Diesel, right? It seems to me that you watch this show every night. I have an idea – perhaps we could arrange a virtual meeting using Zoom or something similar… And I can save your lack of hair on a storage device.

Although nothing is set in stone, I’m hopeful that Vin Diesel might feature in the cast list for Season 2 of The Studio. This tidbit would go hand-in-hand with finding out when the last film in the franchise, Fast 11, is due for release. On another note, Seth Rogen’s other Apple TV+ series, Platonic, resumes for its second season on August 6.
