'The Studio': Seth Rogen's Hilarious New Series Takes Aim at the Madness of Hollywood
So what is "The Studio" all about? Well imagine if "Entourage" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" had a baby and that baby was raised in a Hollywood studio. That's kind of the vibe. Seth Rogen stars as a newly appointed studio head who is quickly realizing that his dream job is maybe more of a nightmare. He is dealing with crazy egos studio politics release date dramas and a never-ending pile of movies that make him wonder why he even wanted this job in the first place.
The show has an amazing cast too. Kathryn Hahn and Catherine O’Hara are also starring alongside Rogen. With that comedic power trio you know it is going to be funny. And who is behind the camera? None other than Rogen himself and his longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg. These are the guys who brought us "Invincible" "The Boys" and "Superbad" so they know a thing or two about making awesome TV and movies.
"The Studio" sounds like it is going to be the perfect mix of insider Hollywood satire and laugh-out-loud comedy. Given Rogen and Goldberg's real-life experience as big-time Hollywood producers they have got plenty of material to draw from. Expect some seriously funny and maybe a little too real takes on the movie business.
