Seth Rogen Torches Hollywood: How the Sony Hack, ‘The Green Hornet’ and Virtue Signaling Inspired His Showbiz Satire ‘The Studio’


Seth Rogen, Catherine O'Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders explain how they made their Apple TV+ comedy 'The Studio.'

Co-starring Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders as studio shot-callers, the series mixes the self-spoofing star power of “Entourage” with the comedic velocity of “Veep” and the zeitgeisty bite of “The Other Two.” It eviscerates the petty politics, eggshell egos and bottom-line mentality that stink up Hollywood. He’s led comedy blockbusters from “Knocked Up” to “Pineapple Express” and made indies like “50/50” and “The Disaster Artist.” He’s also produced award-winning TV shows such as “The Boys” and “Pam & Tommy,” and lent his voice to Pumbaa and Donkey Kong in movies so globally recognized they need not be named. With scripts including roles for Charlize Theron, Paul Dano and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos — and dozens more — Apple’s main concern was that Rogen and Goldberg wouldn’t be able to secure all the cameos written intotheir first drafts.
