From co-creators Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez, The Studio revolves around Matt Remick (Rogen), the freshly-promoted head of Continental Studios who sees his new gig as the opportunity of a lifetime. After years of working under Continental’s old boss Griffin Mill (Bryan Cranston), Matt, his assistant-turned-development exec Quinn Hackett (Chase Sui Wonders), and their colleague Sal Seperstein (Ike Barinholtz) think they’re finally getting a chance to really shape the studio’s future. That’s true to some extent, but none of them fully understand just how much more ridiculous life becomes when it’s your job to keep multiple teams with different priorities happy.
Matt himself seems to be the source of much of Continental’s woes in The Studio’s new trailer, which plays like a showcase of the series’ sizable cast of celebrity guest stars like Martin Scorsese, Greta Lee, and Ice Cube playing themselves. The trailer makes The Studio seem like it might have a lot in common with HBO’s recent series The Franchise, but hopefully the new show will pack a stronger comedic punch when it debuts on March 26th.
