Co-created by Seth Rogen, who stars in the series, Apple TV+’s “The Studio” premieres on March 26. Along with Rogen, the new comedy is stacked with stars rounding out the main cast, such as Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Chase Sui Wonders, and Ike Barinholtz.
Numerous A-list celebrities will also guest star, appearing as themselves, including Ron Howard, Olivia Wilde, Zoë Kravitz, and Martin Scorsese.
To convey the manic energy of a movie studio’s atmosphere, Rogen and his team opted to film each scene as one long tracking shot, refusing edits in exchange for an immersive experience that’ll hopefully help viewers become one with the chaos.
