Where To Watch The Studio — Season 1

The Studio Season 1 takes viewers behind the glossy Hollywood curtain and into the chaotic offices of fictional Continental Studios. Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, a movie-loving executive who unexpectedly becomes the head of the studio. His dream promotion quickly becomes a nightmare as he tries to balance artistic ambition, corporate expectations, demanding filmmakers, celebrity egos, marketing pressures and the increasingly complicated business of making movies. Matt works alongside Sal Saperstein (Ike Barinholtz), his trusted but sometimes frustrated colleague; Patty Leigh (Catherine O'Hara), a veteran producer whose experience and influence make her one of the studio's most important figures; Maya Mason (Kathryn Hahn), a forceful marketing executive; and Quinn Hackett (Chase Sui Wonders), a young creative executive navigating the politics of the studio.

More details about The Studio — Season 1 and where you can watch

The Studio Season 1 is packed with Hollywood Easter eggs and celebrity cameos, making it particularly interesting for movie fans. One of its biggest features is the appearance of real Hollywood personalities playing exaggerated versions of themselves, including Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Zoë Kravitz, Charlize Theron, Anthony Mackie, Greta Lee, Zac Efron and Olivia Wilde. The series also uses these appearances to poke fun at the complicated relationships between filmmakers, actors and studio executives.

Another interesting detail is the character Griffin Mill, played by Bryan Cranston. The name is a deliberate reference to the studio executive character played by Tim Robbins in Robert Altman’s 1992 Hollywood satire The Player. This is especially fitting because The Player is itself a movie about the Hollywood studio system, making the reference an Easter egg within a show that is also satirizing the film industry.
