How good is ‘The Studio’, the new Apple TV series generating sweeping rave reviews
The ten-part Apple TV series was released on March 26 with the show starring Seth Rogen generating universally positive reviews.
Released globally via Apple TV earlier this week, “The Studio,” showcases actor Seth Rogen (who also co-wrote and directed the show) as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of embattled Continental Studios.
As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant in an ever changing media world, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic actors and high flying business overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films.
Despite hiding behind their expensive designer suits, the key protagonists never-ending sense of panic at every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe.
The ten episode series runs through to May 21 with a new episode set to drop every week on Apple TV.

Rave reviews for The Studio
The Apple TV production has been received with positive acclaim from many outlets with Time leading the plaudits claiming that the show is the ‘best of 2025 to date’.
Reviews for 'The Studio'
The Playlist (100): "The most entertaining and spot-on depiction of Hollywood since Robert Altman’s “The Player.” Granted, that’s high praise, but Rogen and Goldberg, who also direct the 10-episode series, swing for the fences with one home run after another. They are aided by stellar scripts and an ensemble of actors who are having an utter blast".
The Telegraph (UK) (100): "Its mix of screwball capering, toe-curling cringiness and razor-sharp one-liners is so laugh-out-loud funny and brilliantly performed, any notion that this is simply Hollywood eating itself ends up hitting the cutting room floor with a satisfying thud".
The Times UK (100): "Laced with references to the silver screen at every turn and shot in such a way as to remind you of a golden age of cinema, the show walks a careful tightrope between silliness, satire and sentimentality with quite exceptional results. The sun may be setting on the Hollywood of old, but it has just risen on the best new comedy of the year so far".
The Hollywood Reporter (90): "The Studio’s strain of cringe humor won’t be for everyone; even as it mellows in the second half of the season, it remains too intense to wind down with or throw on in the background. But for those willing to get on its frazzled wavelength, this is a strong contender for the best new comedy of 2025".
