The Studio cast: Full list of characters and actors in Apple TV+ comedy
The new series has been created and written by Seth Rogen, who leads the cast.
Not to be confused with The Franchise, The Studio is another series that centres on the film industry for a comedic take on the art of making successful movies in a world that often asks us to pick between art and business.
Written, directed by and starring Seth Rogen, the new series has already received plenty of critical acclaim and boasts quite the star-studded main cast as well as a veritable slew of famous faces guest starring throughout the episodes.
If you don't quite believe us about how many celebrities will be making an appearance, just read on for the very lengthy guest star list at the bottom of this article.
The synopsis for the new Apple TV+ series reads: "In The Studio, Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of embattled Continental Studios.
"As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their own insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films.
"With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe.
"As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it's the job Matt's been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him."
