“We Rewrote That, Like, Hundreds of Times”: ‘The Studio’ Creators Reveal the Show’s Most Challenging Episodes

The Studiois one of the sharpest, most timely comedies on TV right now. Tackling everything from making movies based on nostalgic IP to how AI is impacting the film industry, it’s managed to tap into the zeitgeist to a degree few other projects have. Centering around a fictional studio called Continental helmed by a bumbling but well-intentioned man named Matt (Seth Rogen), the series sees him attempt to balance the business and artistic side of the movie industry alongside his ousted mentor (Catherine O’Hara), his best friend and co-worker (Ike Barinholtz), his young assistant-turned-executive (Chase Sui Wonders), and the head of marketing, who he also sometimes makes out with (Kathryn Hahn).
