Seth Rogen’s New Show Has Studio Execs YELLING!

by

After the 2023 debut and renewal for a second season of “Platonic”, Seth Rogen now has another exclusive show on Apple TV+ for viewers to enjoy. The highly-regarded series, titled “The Studio“, premiered its first two episodes on Wednesday. In this production, Rogen takes on the role of Matt Remnick, a character who is appointed as the head of Continental Studios, but soon encounters challenges he hadn’t anticipated when he took the job.

Despite having just debuted two days ago on the 2025 TV schedule, “The Studio” has already sparked some anger towards Rogen. However, an amusing tale about the Golden Globes he shared is being used to develop one of the forthcoming episodes.

Seth Rogen’s Already Been Yelled At Over The Studio

On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Rogen discussed his show, The Studio. Colbert mentioned that as both actor and co-creator, Rogen had conducted both formal and informal interviews with Hollywood producers and studio executives for research. Colbert then joked if anyone in the industry had contacted Rogen after seeing the series saying, “I see myself in that,” to which Rogen replied:

Absolutely, I’ve had three instances where I was spoken to quite strongly within the past week. Some were content with what I did, while others were not, to put it mildly.

Absolutely, it’s quite clear why some viewers might react with excitement or dismay given that “The Studio” delves extensively into the intricate aspects of movie studios, revealing both their glamorous and gritty sides. For instance, without divulging any specific plot details, the initial episode features Matt Remnick being tasked with creating a film based on Continental Studios’ latest intellectual property acquisition, Kool-Aid. In an attempt to produce a movie that would appeal to the masses while also having Oscar potential, Matt endeavors to recruit Martin Scorsese as director for Kool-Aid, an offer that doesn’t seem to sit well with him. It’s not hard to imagine such situations occurring in real life.

In essence, Seth Rogen’s extensive industry experience isn’t solely based on interviews, but rather on his personal encounters. To illustrate, during the filming of “The Studio“, Matt Remnick utters, “I got into this because I love movies, but now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them.” The actor from Superbad, in conversation with Colbert, revealed that this line originated directly from Steve Asbell, the current president of 20th Century Studios. Asbell shared this sentiment with Rogen and his partner Evan Goldberg when they were turned down for a pitch because it was too explicit, despite its appeal to him.

A Golden Globes Speech Snub Inspired One Of The Studio’s Episodes

After Seth Rogen shared the varying reactions these people in the Hollywood business have shared with him, he then explained how one of The Studio’s episodes will revolve around that time when a film executive was left out of an acceptance speech at the Golden Globes for a movie Rogen made. Per Rogen:

In a specific episode, there’s a focus on an occasion related to the Golden Globes, where my character deeply yearns to be acknowledged in a Golden Globe acceptance speech. This is quite significant in Hollywood circles. You see, we once produced a film that garnered a Golden Globe and at the post-event gathering, we encountered one of the executives who appeared to be crying. We thought they were moved by our victory and their joy. But when we asked if this was the reason for their tears, they replied, “No, I wasn’t thanked during the speech.

More Stories About Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen admitted that he’s feeling a bit overwhelmed by the star-studded lineup for his upcoming show, as if it were a source of both pride and modesty.

Seth Rogen playfully shares an outrageous comment that executives made during the production of “Superbad,” and it involves Jonah Hill.

Seth Rogen humorously narrates an audacious remark executives tossed at him while producing “Superbad.” Jonah Hill is part of this anecdote. (In simpler terms, Seth Rogen tells a funny story about what some executives said to him during the making of “Superbad,” and Jonah Hill was there too.)

It’s uncertain which specific film Seth Rogen is discussing, as neither of the two movies he starred in that were nominated for Golden Globes in the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category, namely “50/50” and “The Disaster Artist,” managed to win. Regardless of the movie, I find it intriguing how Rogen is leveraging the initial snub this unnamed executive experienced by not being acknowledged and turning it into another embarrassing moment for Matt Remnick. Will the yet-to-be-named Continental Studios production, which Rogen is hinting at, secure a Golden Globe win? Or will an upset occur, with the movie failing to win any awards at all?

Each Wednesday, you’ll discover more as fresh episodes of “The Studio” become available on Apple TV+. Additionally, Seth Rogen lends his voice to Allen the Alien in “Invincible“, a series that can be streamed with an Amazon Prime Video subscription and has just concluded its third season.
