Since its premiere, The Studio has been making headlines for several reasons. While fans loved how well-crafted the narrative is, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg felt grateful to have been able to make this show.

If you haven't watched the first two episodes of The Studio, here's a brief about what happens in it: The show is among the trending comedy series on Apple TV+, which follows Rogen in the leading role of a newly appointed studio head, Matt Remick.

At first, he is excited to become the most important figure, but he soon realizes it's not as easy as it seems. As the series begins, it takes a humorous yet insightful look at the inner workings of Hollywood.

What makes The Studio even more engaging to watch is the cast, including Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O'Hara, and cameos like Martin Scorsese and more. In simple terms, Rogen and Goldberg's show is packed with A-list actors.

Rogen also revealed that the key to attracting big-name cameos is writing genuinely funny roles. He said:

"We worked hard to write roles we hoped were funny and that we hoped people would respond to, and all anyone wants is a good joke."

He continued:

"That's what we really learned. It's very enticing to people to feel like they get to be funny. Even Charlize (Theron): We're like, ‘You have one line, but it'll kill. We promise. '"

Rogen mentioned that even stars like Charlize Theron were excited to contribute to The Studio by delivering great comedic lines.

One of the reasons why TV series become insanely popular is because of the cast, as they put in great effort to bring a character to life. Similarly, in The Studio, every actor and guest star plays an important role, which has caught fans' attention.

As previously mentioned, Rogen and Goldberg expressed gratitude for their series and even jokingly acknowledged studio executives, saying:

"We are so appreciative that we got to make this show, and without you, our beloved studio executives, it never would have happened, or it totally would have happened with other execs at another company, but we wouldn't like them as much."

The series also sheds light on how executives often create problems in a project, which could lead to conflicts. As seen in Episode 2, "The Oner," Matt kept on interfering during a shoot, which ultimately led to a chaotic and humorous scene on the sets.

The first episode features a cameo from Oscar-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese, setting the stage for more such appearances to come. From Zoë Kravitz to Bryan Cranston, fans should get ready for some more such exciting cameos.
