Seth Rogen is the odds-on favorite to win so many Emmys for The Studio, he'll need to bring a mantelpiece as his plus-one.

According to Gold Derby's predictions for the 2025 Emmys, Rogen is out front to win Best Comedy Series (for which he's a producer), Best Comedy Actor, and Best Comedy Directing (for "The Oner"). Plus, he's the runner-up in Best Comedy Writing (for "The Promotion"), behind only the Hacks showrunning trio of Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky (for "A Slippery Slope").

Should Rogen win all four, he'd be the only person in Emmy history to win those specific trophies in the same year. In 2020, Daniel Levy won three of the four for Schitt's Creek, but his acting award was for supporting, not lead. Here's what Rogen tells Gold Derby about potentially making history:

To date,...

Last year, Deadline reported that Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis was prepping to fill the late legend Angela Lansbury’s shoes in a new version of “Murder, She Wrote,” the beloved ’80s and ’90s series that saw mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher (Lansbury) tracking down murderers in the sleepy Maine hamlet of Cabot Cove, as well as in her globe-trotting travels (courtesy of the Universal Studios backlot).

At the “Freakier Friday” premiere, Curtis confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the project is still on the way, in a dramatic fashion: “Oh, it’s…,” employs pregnant pause and dramatic facial expressions, “happening.”

“We’re a minute away. But, yeah, very excited, very excited. But I’m, you know, tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting,” she added. “I have a couple other things to hustle and then, then I’ll get to enjoy that work.”

This isn’t the first attempt at remaking the long-running series.

In a follow-up to our earlier report about Disney Entertainment Television’s plans to celebrate the 40th anniversary of “The Golden Girls,” fashion label Zero Waste Daniel formally announced its immersive store takeover and limited-edition capsule collection themed to the iconic sitcom.

Everything kicks off online and in-store beginning Thursday, July 31, with items available for purchase that are inspired by the enduring legacy of the beloved characters such as the strong-willed Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur), sweetly naive Rose Nylund (Betty White), flirtatious Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan) and wise-cracking Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty), while reimagining sitcom nostalgia through the bold, artistic and unmistakably heartfelt lens of one of Brooklyn’s most distinctive creative studios.

“’The Golden Girls’ were a North Star to me growing up,” says designer and founder Daniel Silverstein, known to many as Zero Waste Daniel. “They’re funny, fearless, wildly fashionable, and they showed up for each other in ways that felt groundbreaking,...

In celebration of the show’s 40th anniversary, Disney Entertainment Television announced on Friday that fans of “The Golden Girls” can look forward to exclusive themed merchandise and experiences across the country, starting on the official Golden Girls Day, Wednesday, July 30, with nationwide events that will feature curated experiences from Zero Waste Daniel, themed beverages from Nocking Point Wines, treats from Yogurtland, and limited-edition merchandise from Brick Craft, Candier, and Furbish Studio.

Debuting September 14, 1985 on NBC and created by Susan Harris, “The Golden Girls” captivated audiences for seven memorable seasons, with the series’ theme song and lyrics becoming an enduring anthem for generations of fans.

The series followed four vibrant friends sharing life and laughter in Miami: strong-willed Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur), sweetly naive Rose Nylund (Betty White), flirtatious Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan) and wise-cracking Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty).

Though their distinctive personalities occasionally clashed, their enduring friendship — celebrated in...

As “The Golden Girls” hits its 40th anniversary, Disney Entertainment TV is thanking you for being a fan — with enough merch and tie-ins to fill up the lanai. Kicking off with “Golden Girls Day” on July 30, the show will be celebrated via wines, yogurt treats, brick toys and more.

Among the big news: For the first time, the estate of singer-songerwriter Andrew Gold has allowed for lyrics from his tune “Thank You for Being a Friend,” made even more famous as “The Golden Girls” TV theme song, to appear on show products from the likes of Furbish Studio, Yogurtland and Candier.

“We’re excited to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ‘The Golden Girls’ with a campaign that’s both deeply nostalgic and completely modern,” said Erin Weir, executive vice president of marketing at Disney Entertainment Television. “From immersive experiences and partnerships to special tributes, every element has been thoughtfully curated...

Recap: The show flashes back to Tina’s origin story at The Beef, beginning with her being let go from a job and facing rejection in a bleak job hunt. She wanders into The Beef, where she meets Mikey, who listens to her struggles and confesses his own feelings of inadequacy compared to his brother Carmy. Their shared vulnerability leads to an unspoken understanding and a job offer that changes Tina’s life.

By any measure, Clueless is a pop-culture classic. Amy Heckerling's zeitgesty film — which celebrates its 30th anniversary this weekend, launched its cast (Alicia Silverstone! Paul Rudd! Brittany Murphy!) as stars, established style trends, and recalibrated the vernacular, all while making bank at the box office. And while it didn't compete for an Oscar, the film earned its share of accolades: Heckerling won Best Screenplay from the National Society of Film Critics and her script was nominated for a WGA Award; and Silverstone received awards for Breakthrough Performance from the National Board of Review and Funniest Actress at the American Comedy Awards.

These days, almost everyone knows the name Don Cheadle. He's become a household name over the years by always bringing his absolute best whether the movie is a big budget crowd-pleasing blockbuster like "Iron Man 3" or a heavy historical drama like "Hotel Rwanda," with some truly incredible performances in his filmography. While he's mostly known for his dramatic roles, he also has serious comedic chops, displaying his ability to get hilariously weird in things like the Funny or Die "Captain Planet with Don Cheadle" viral web series. Before he was showing off in superhero movies or even making us all laugh as the weirdest take on a classic cartoon this side of the 1987 "Masters of the Universe" flick, however, Don Cheadle got his breakout role on an ill-fated "The Golden Girls" spin-off called "The Golden Palace."

Though "The Golden Girls" was such a big hit that it seemed like anything related would do well,...

The Golden Girls was nearly renewed for season 8, but a major actor decided that she would not be returning to the show. Though rumors of a Golden Girls reboot continue to this day, the original series ran from 1985 through 1992, and there have not been any major rebooting efforts. Aside from a few spinoffs, the show's legacy remains strictly tied to the legacy of its four major actors: Betty White (Rose Nylund), Bea Arthur (Dorothy Zbornak), Rue McClanahan (Blanche Devereaux), and Estelle Getty (Sophia Petrillo).

The season 7 cancellation cemented the show's fate, but it was not always going to end with its seventh season. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, co-producer Marsha Posner Williams admitted that one star made the executive decision to end the series. While White, Getty, and McClanahan were all interested in continuing with Golden Girls, Arthur had no interest in another season, as her disdain for...

While The Golden Girls featured a group of friends, the cast was not quite as warm as their characters were. Having run for seven seasons from 1985 to 1992, the sitcom was extremely unique and set itself apart by focusing on four older women living out their golden years together. It received both critical and audience acclaim during its run, earning 11 Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes. Tragically, all four major Golden Girls cast members, Betty White (Rose Nylund), Bea Arthur (Dorothy Zbornak), Rue McClanahan (Blanche Devereaux), and Estelle Getty (Sophia Petrillo) have since passed on, having left their marks on Hollywood.

While the main characters were friends in The Golden Girls, their actors were not. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, co-producer Marsha Posner Williams confirmed that White and Arthur could not stand each other, confirming long-standing rumors of a feud. While they remained "professional" during production, they hated each other off-screen,...

While the classic ’80s sitcom “The Golden Girls” has amassed a large gay following, former writer Stan Zimmerman said that the set itself was not as open as some might assume. One co-worker even told Zimmerman to burn thrifted sweaters from a garage sale because they had probably belonged to “somebody that died of AIDS.” But the writer — who later worked on “Gilmore Girls” — said that was just “the climate then.”

“I know you see all these progressive scenes and you think, ‘Oh, it was one big gay party there,’ but we couldn’t be who we really were,” Zimmerman explained during a Pride Live! Hollywood panel (via The Hollywood Reporter). He said that their representatives even advised them to stay in the closet. But he added there was one titular “Golden Girls” gay crew members couldn’t fool.

“Our first day on the set, we noticed Estelle [Getty] come running toward us,...

The Golden Girls is famous for big laughs and high emotion. But one of the other famous things about it is the well-known feud between stars Bea Arthur and Betty White.

The two actors -- both beloved by audiences -- never got along with each other. Speaking at a panel for Pride Live! at NeueHouse Hollywood, the show's co-producer Marsha Posner Williams opened up about how deep and vicious the feud between White and Arthur went. She remembered, via Hollywood Reporter, that the C-word was used more than once.

“When that red light was on [and the show was filming], there were no more professional people than those women, but when the red light was off, those two couldn’t warm up to each other if they were cremated together,” Williams commented, cracking a joke that wouldn't have been out of place on the show itself. She remembered that Bea Arthur used to call her and say,...

Creatives behind The Golden Girls shared funny and, at times, very candid behind-the-scenes stories — namely, among the long-rumored feud between stars Betty White and Bea Arthur — during a 40th-anniversary celebration of the long-running hit show on Wednesday night.

The sold-out event, held at NeueHouse Hollywood as part of the monthlong Pride Live! Hollywood festival, featured a panel of writers, producers and others who worked on the show, which ran for seven seasons on NBC, from 1985-92. The series, created by Susan Harris, starred Bea Arthur as Dorothy Zbornak, Betty White as Rose Nylund, Rue McClanahan as Blanche Devereaux and Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo. (The Hollywood Reporter is the presenting media sponsor of Pride Live! Hollywood.)

Co-producer Marsha Posner Williams brought up a topic that has been much-discussed and speculated on: whether Arthur and White got along in real life.

“When that red light was on [and the show was filming], there were no more professional people than those women,...

The 2025 Emmys could have viewers seeing double when nominations are announced on July 15. This year, several of TV's most versatile stars — true double threats — are vying for spots in both comedy and drama categories. From Catherine O'Hara's wildly contrasting roles in The Studio and The Last of Us to Jon Hamm's dual turn in Your Friends and Neighbors and his hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, the race is shaping up to celebrate TV's finest multidimensional talent.

Historically, it’s not uncommon for an actor to score two Emmy nominations in a single year — but being recognized for both a dramatic and comedic performance in the same year is far rarer, and winning both is nearly unheard of. In fact, only two actors have ever managed a double victory of this caliber: Colleen Dewhurst (Murphy Brown and Those She Left Behind in 1989) and Allison Janney (Mom and Masters...

Media in the '80s was full of larger-than-life personalities, and TV was no exception. From high-concept action to star-driven crime solving and even confined comedies, bigger was usually better. Some of the best shows just kept growing, and a couple of the titles on this list of the best 1980s TV shows are still around (or at least have been revived very recently). Those that didn't last nonetheless made their mark on pop culture at large.

While not every show named below is an American show, they are all, to some degree, scripted. Even though the decade spawned many iconic talk shows and nonfiction programming, with hosts ranging from Phil Donahue to Robin Leach, those are best covered elsewhere. These are the stories that kept us coming back to their characters, actors, plots, and wild gimmicks, in a decade where money was seemingly no object, and TV tried to cater to every age group.

Hollywood Insider - 'The Studio'

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s 'The Studio' In-Depth Review Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s 'The Studio' is a love letter to Hollywood old school classical Hollywood, filled with comedic satire, executive in-jokes, and an energy reminiscent of Robert Altman’s 'The Player'. The series explores the power dynamics of 90s Hollywood through the lens of a contemporary setting, offering a humorous yet biting critique of the film industry’s inner workings.

Some television shows never go out of style – and the ’80s gave us plenty of them. It was a golden era of TV, packed with unforgettable moments, larger-than-life characters, and stories that still feel relevant through pop culture today. Decades have passed, but these iconic shows just refuse to fade. They’ve aged like fine wine and are still quoted, streamed, and loved by fans old and new.

Whether it’s a sitcom that defined family life, a crime drama, or a sci-fi series that predicted the future, these ’80s gems continue to shape how we watch and talk about TV. So, let’s take a look at 10 shows from the ’80s that are still just as powerful and relevant as ever.

10. The Golden Girls (1985 – 1992)

The Golden Girls is one of those rare ’80s shows that still feels fresh no matter how many years go by. It followed four older women – namely,...

With scalpel-sharp precision, The Studio, created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, is a viciously funny and surprisingly heartfelt satire about the chaos of modern moviemaking.

Through the eyes of Matt Remick — played with a great mix of desperation and sincerity by Seth Rogen — the series dives into the absurd push-and-pull between art, commerce, ego, and executive dysfunction that defines today’s Hollywood.

Over nine sharply written episodes, the show skewers nearly every sacred cow in the industry.

(Apple TV+)

From its IP obsession to awards season phoniness, nothing is safe.

The tone shifts from dry deadpan to full-blown absurdity, creating a story that feels both wildly exaggerated and disturbingly familiar.

A World of Idiots, Opportunists, and Idealists

At its core, The Studio is a workplace comedy about profoundly unserious people making very serious decisions.

They didn’t make it easy on themselves. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg told cinematographer Adam Newport-Berra that they wanted long, unbroken takes using a single lens; they asked production designer Julie Berghoff to design them a movie studio, and when she said, “Past, present or future?” they replied, “All of the above.” It led to an atmosphere where every episode and every scene began with the same question: “How the hell are we going to pull this off?”

“Yeah,” Newport-Berra said. “But that’s kinda what gets me out of bed in the morning.”

The series filmed on the Warner Bros. lot, which won out over Paramount and Universal because of its nostalgic feeling. But for the Continental Studios headquarters, Berghoff designed a building that would look as if it came from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Mayan Revival period. “A movie studio founded in the...

Everybody loves to bash Hollywood, including Hollywood itself. The latest and most genially barbed takedown comes from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, longtime production partners whose Apple TV+ comedy series “The Studio” starts out by ruining Martin Scorsese’s career in its first episode. It goes on to poke knowing fun at pompous directors, feckless executives, egotistical actors, woke culture, AI, the Golden Globes, CinemaCon and oh, all sorts of other stuff, even pediatric oncologists.

The 10-episode series plays at a breakneck pace and is largely composed of lengthy, uninterrupted shots that required intricate timing between the actors and film crew. The list of notables who play themselves (or unflattering versions of themselves) includes Scorsese, Ron Howard, Sarah Polley, Olivia Wilde, Charlize Theron, Zac Efron, Ice Cube, Adam Scott, Quinta Brunson, Steve Buscemi and many more.

Donna D’Errico starred on Baywatch from 1996 to 1998.

These days, the actress is 57 and still enjoys a sizable following on social media.

And Donna treated her 3.1 million Instagram followers to an unexpected sight this week when she busted out her old swimsuit from her “lifeguarding” days.

Donna D’Errico ‘found her old swimsuit’

“Guess who found her old swimsuit…” she captioned the photo above.

Needless to say, fans were floored. We’re not saying 57 is old, but that’s not what it looked like for previous generations.

To put things in perspective, Rue McClanahan was 51 when she portrayed Blanche Deveraux on the first season of Golden Girls.

Recently, Superman star Nathan Fillion revealed the surprising television icon that he channeled to play Guy Gardner/Green Lantern. Alongside Fillion, the DC Universe film stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Sara Sampaio, Anthony Carrigan, Edi Gathegi, and Isabela Merced, among others. Fillion's Green Lantern, along with Gathegi as Mister Terrific and Merced as Hawkgirl, will be part of the corporate-sponsored Justice Gang, a group of superheroes who operate differently from the kind-hearted Superman.

Fillion's casting as Guy comes after years of fans dream-casting him as Green Lantern, though many thought he would be more suited to the Hal Jordan iteration of the hero. Nonetheless, the Firefly star is a long-time collaborator and friend of Superman's director, James Gunn, so his having a role in the film is hardly a surprise. What is a surprise, however, is the character he modeled his Green Lantern after.

Note: This story contains spoilers from “The Studio” Season 1.

You can’t make an authentic show about Hollywood without some celebrity cameos. That’s something that “The Studio,” Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s comedy for Apple TV+, knows too well and delivers in spades. By the season’s end, the industry satire features everyone from Ramy Youssef and Ice Cube to Adam Scott and Netflix head Ted Sarandos, all not-so-subtly mocking their public personas.

But out off all the celebrities, there were a select few that stood out to this very talented — and very funny — ensemble.

“[Martin] Scorsese was very impressive and a very funny performer, like legitimately funny,” Rogen, who plays the new head of Continental Studios Matt Remnick, told TheWrap in an interview that included the comedy’s five leads. “He was really firing on all cylinders and was saying stuff that was making me and Ike [Barinholtz] laugh...

AppleTV+’s satirical comedy series, The Studio, wraps up its 1st season this week with another hilarious episode, underlining how film studios can sometimes get away with borderline bizarre things, and also perhaps how professionals in the cinema industry can sometimes pull off wonders even while inebriated. Back in episode 9, Matt Remick and his team had headed to Las Vegas for the CinemaCon event, excited to present all the new and upcoming films that Continental Studios has been working on, and the studio head hosted a gala party to celebrate the mood. However, as Matt categorically threw an ‘old-school Hollywood buffet,’ in his own words, the guests got too drunk and drugged for their own good, since there was an ample buffet of alcohol and drugs. Most importantly, actor-director Zoe Kravitz and Continental Studios CEO Griffin Mill, both of whom had to make important speeches on stage the next day,...

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s The Studio is one of the most beloved shows on Apple TV+ at this moment because not only does it star the industry’s finest talent, but also because it gives the audience a sneak peek into the world of chaos behind the camera. The fictional Continental Studios, led by Rogen’s Matt Remick, is returning for Season 2.

The Studio’s season one is just a couple of weeks away from its finale episode, but Apple TV has confirmed that they might not be over with showcasing the viewers some behind-the-scenes fun of movie making. But viewers have one question: How will Seth Rogen overcome one challenge for the upcoming season?

Matt Remick might be searching for another tentpole movie after Apple renewed Hollywood insider comedy The Studio for a second season.

The streamer revealed that it is bringing back the series, which was co-created by and stars Seth Rogen, for another run. This comes ahead of its season finale on May 21.

Rogen and his co-creator joked that Evan Goldberg that they were looking forward to “taking the lived experience of making season one and immediately putting it into season two, then repeating that loop for ten more seasons”.

The Studio, which launched on March 26, centers around Remick, played by Rogen, the newly installed boss of Continental Studios, who must deal with their own insecurities and the way that Hollywood works in order to make big tentpole movies and prestige dramas, while keeping their Bob Evans-style boss Griffin Mill, played by Bryan Cranston, and the filmmaking community happy.

Apple TV+ originals are slowly making their way into the minds of viewers thanks to shows like Ted Lasso, Severance, Silo, Pachinko, and more. The streaming platform has been competing with streaming giants like Netflix, but over the past couple of years, it has been seen that viewers have been shifting to Apple TV+ because of the original, authentic content.

Sure, Apple TV+ shows are exclusive to Apple users, but now they’re available for viewers who have smart TVs, consoles, and are online. Some viewers who have been watching the shows for a while now stated that the streaming platform should be given a chance because the shows on it know how to make the audience feel. It’s just quality over quantity for them, and I have no regrets in saying that I have canceled my Netflix subscription for Apple TV+, especially when it comes to these four shows.

Seth Rogen’s satirical cringe-comedy series, The Studio, is one of the ongoing series on Apple TV+ that has received a positive response from the critics as well as the audience. The series’ interesting concept of giving the audience a sneak peek of what happens behind the camera in a studio has got everyone on the edge of their seats.

It has been well established that The Studio is based on Seth Rogen and frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg’s experience of working with Sony Pictures. Some fans have noted that the cameos in the show add to the realism, making the story a bit more grounded. Rogen’s response to a recent question asked during an interview had a perfect crossover between The Studio and Severance.

The Golden Girlsis a beloved series that took us into the lives of Blanche, Rose, Sophia, and Dorothy. The show ran for seven seasons and has since remained one of those series you can always find airing reruns. Starring Estelle Getty as Sophia, the mother to Bea Arthur's Dorothy, the two lived with their friends Rose (Betty White) and Blanche (Rue McClanahan) – and the rest was sitcom history. But that means that people are constantly wondering if the show is going to get remade or rebooted, and fans had thought that Tina Feywas going to try to undertake the seemingly impossible task.

During a conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Fey addressed the rumor that she was going to be working on a reboot with Amy Poehlerand Lisa Kudrowstarring in it. For context, Dorothy was supposed to be in her early-to-mid 50s when the show began and Poehler is currently 53 years old,...

Comedy icon and 30 Rockcreator Tina Fey shoots down rumors of a remake of The Golden Girls.

Per People, Fey responded to a fan-made poster for a The Golden Girls remake starring her alongside Amy Poehler, Lisa Kudrow, and Maya Rudolph. "Oh, this. I did know about this," Fey said after being shown the poster, which originally circulated the internet in 2024. "I like that this was fooling people. Like, why would we ever take a picture where Amy and Lisa Kudrow are in costume, but we're not?" Fey added, "If this fooled you, you might be a Boomer. And if you're Gen X, and this fooled you, go to a hospital. I would never touch this. This is too perfect. The original is ... those ladies can't be touched."

Tina Fey is clarifying details about the alleged Golden Girls remake that was in development.

In a recent interview, the 30 Rock star and creator addressed the viral poster of The Golden Girls that was shared on social media.

“Oh, this. I did know about this,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I like that this was fooling people. Like, why would we ever take a picture where Amy and Lisa Kudrow are in costume, but we’re not? If this fooled you, you might be a Boomer. And if you’re Gen X, and this fooled you, go to a hospital.”

The fake post claimed Disney+ had ordered a remake of the classic sitcom starring Fey as Dorothy, Amy Poehler as Sophia, Lisa Kudrow as Rose, and Maya Rudolph as Blanche.

Fey says that she “would never touch” the sitcom and produce a remake, adding, “The original is … those ladies can’t be touched.

The core audience for screen depictions of Hollywood has always been Hollywood itself. Apple TV+’s anxiety-inducing Tinseltown sendup The Studio — about a midlevel exec, played by co-creator Seth Rogen, who is promoted to studio chief and finds himself irreconcilably torn between making art and the bottom line — is the ultimate series à clef. Rest assured that industry types are parsing every frame, wondering who’s based on whom, and hoping they’re not the ones being lampooned. And if not, why the hell not?

Warner Bailey, creator of the popular insider Instagram account Assistants vs. Agents, attended the show’s star-studded L.A. premiere in March and recalls the nervous excitement in the room. “You’d look around and there was like a flash of pain on people’s faces. They were laughing but also gasping when the absurdity would unfold. It became very clear that people saw themselves on the screen.

Seth Rogen’s satirical comedy series The Studio is regarded as one of the favorite comedy series of 2025 so far. With a lot of cool cameos, The Studio is said to be a spot-on depiction of Hollywood since Robert Altman’s The Player. Rogen not only stars in the show as the lead but also directs the ten-episode show alongside Evan Goldberg.

The series premiered on March 26, 2025, and managed to impress the audience with its storyline, direction, and incredible performances by the actors. It goes on to showcase some of the hard-to-believe but real events that occur behind the cameras, probably in studio boardrooms, screening rooms, and, of course, restaurants.

While everyone’s praising the show with every episode, some have expressed their disappointment in the fifth episode, as it tends to sideline two of the most celebrated women in the entertainment industry.

In the wake of The White Lotus and Dying for Sex, two television shows drenched in the pheromones of lust, The Hollywood Reporter decided to rank the 20 sexiest TV shows this week. Where, you might wonder, do comedies rank on the list? Not surprisingly, the list is dominated by streaming dramas where the latitude for nudity and general horniness is a little wider. A few comedy shows did make the list, however, as you’ll read below.

Before we get into the Hollywood Reporter’s rankings, though, consider a few other sitcoms that might have qualified for the list…

The whole point of HBO’s Dream On was to take advantage of the pay cable network’s willingness to show naked people running around the bedroom. Imagine a sitcom in which someone’s dress falls off every week and you get the idea.

Seth Rogen is one of the best creators Hollywood has been blessed with—he just knows how to deliver content that keeps viewers in a chokehold. There has been a growing trend of exploring the behind-the-scenes drama of different industries, and Rogen tapped into this market to create one of the best series anyone has seen in a long time.

The film industry has entertained audiences for decades, delivering intriguing movies and series straight to theaters and screens. It’s the pinnacle of creating dramatic stories—now, imagine the drama that goes behind the scenes while making these projects. That’s exactly what Rogen’s The Studio delivers.

The series takes viewers into the chaotic world of dysfunctional movie studios and has since gone on to become one of the most talked-about shows. It has the classic Rogen-type...

If you know your way around a Hollywood face sheet, chances are one character in Apple TV+’s “The Studio” might look and sound familiar to you: Catherine O’Hara’s Patty Leigh, where the “Schitt’s Creek” Emmy-winning actress is obviously doing a play on producer Amy Pascal. Especially in terms of Patty’s hairstyle, wanton tresses that feel like an extension of her frittering mind after she’s ousted from the fictional studio Continental Pictures.

Patty is introduced in Episode 1 of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg‘s series entreating new studio chief Matt Remnick (Rogen) to give her a three-year overall exclusive deal — a standard exiting strategy and one where Patty also asks for a “put picture,” or one she can greenlight without the studios’ permission. Given that Pascal is one of the most influential producers in town — and one of its most powerful women — and is also one whom...

After much anticipation, Seth Rogen has finally returned to the small screen, and by all accounts, he’s delivered one of the best new sitcoms in years. Apple TV’s The Studio is just the latest in a seemingly endless line of Hollywood satires, following on the heels of HBO’s short-lived The Franchise. But while that series got a tepid reception at best, as of this writing, The Studio holds a staggering 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

In addition to co-creating the show with writing partner Evan Goldberg, Rogen also plays Matt Remick, a lifelong film junkie. Upon being appointed the head of Continental Studios, a job that he once thought a dream come true turns out to be a massive headache, as he has to deal with corporate demands, social/economic changes, and the trials of making a movie. The result is something akin to a modern reimagining of The Player,...

Hulu's newest series, Mid-Century Modern, is now available to stream and co-creator Max Mutchnick is opening up about the television series' reception as well as comparisons to an iconic 80s sitcom. The series stars Matt Bomer (White Collar), Nathan Lane (The Producers), and Nathan Lee Graham (Zoolander) as a trio of friends in Palm Springs, California who move in together for a new chapter in their lives. Bomer plays Jerry Frank, Lane plays Bunny Schneiderman, and Graham plays Arthur Broussard. They're joined, for the first part of the series, by Linda Lavin, who plays Bunny's mother Sybil, until Lavin's real-life death in December cut her appearances short. If the basic premise of these three men, plus a mom all under one roof over the age of 65, sounds familiar, you may have heard of The Golden Girls.

The comparisons are not lost on Mutchnick, in fact, they're embraced. When speaking...

Hulu's new comedy Mid-Century Modern is not a gay reboot of The Golden Girls. It's a nice compliment, if not daunting, but stars Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, and Nathan Lee Graham describe their R-rated laffer as more of a "spiritual sister" to the iconic sitcom that ran for seven seasons on NBC.

"It was a quick way of pitching the idea for the show and then once people latched on to that — are you Bea Arthur and are you Rue McClanahan — we're really not doing that kind of show," Lane tells Gold Derby (watch the video interview above). "It's its own entity. It is about a group of friends living together in my house with my mother, but once you establish that it goes off in its own direction. But look, if that gets people to tune in — wonderful!"

Mid-Century Modern was created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan,...

Los Angeles plays itself in the new Apple TV+ comedy series The Studio.

The scathing Hollywood satire from co-creator, -writer, -director, and star Seth Rogen is perhaps the most accurate portrayal of the entertainment industry in years, featuring not just several celebrity camoes but many famous locations around the city (including the Warner Bros. lot and Burbank’s Smokehouse restaurant).

“We wanted to paint a real, very accurate picture of a Hollywood movie studio,” Rogen said earlier this month after the show’s premiere at the South by Southwest Film and TV Festival in Austin, Texas. “We wanted to use people that you believe a studio would get excited about, so you believe people who love film would be passionate about.”

“I remember watching the Entourage movie, and they’re having a big party, and Bob Saget is the most famous guy there,” Rogen added. “I love the guy but it’s always like,...

“You don’t look sad … you just look like a reluctant bottom.”

When a new series receives the James Burrows stamp of approval, it’s almost guaranteed to be a hysterical ride. After all, the iconic television director has been at the forefront of some of the most recognizable sitcoms in history, including “Friends,” “Cheers,” “Frasier” and a significant number of episodes of “Will & Grace.” The sitcom genre has seen better days with the invention of streaming services that have practically made the format obsolete, but Burrows keeps chugging along when he finds a show worth investing his talents in.

At 84 years old, Burrows continues his impressive run as sitcom’s greatest living director by taking the helm with a new series from “Will & Grace” creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, “Mid-Century Modern.” Starring Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham and Linda Lavin, the Palm Springs-set series...

[Editor’s note: The following story contains some spoilers for “The Studio.”]

Before I made my way to writing about Hollywood full time, in my twenties I toiled in the publicity bullpen at United Artists in Manhattan’s tenderloin district, was a press agent at Pmk New York, was unit publicist on John Carpenter’s “Halloween III: Season of the Witch” and James L. Brooks’ “Terms of Endearment,” and served as publicity manager at Twentieth Century Fox in Century City. I sat around the table at countless marketing meetings, wrote press releases, screening invites, and press kits, wrangled celebrities and photographers at glitzy premieres, and participated on release and Oscar campaigns.

By the time I jumped to the other side as Risky Business columnist at LA Weekly; movie beat reporter at Entertainment Weekly; West Coast Editor of Film Comment, Empire, and Premiere; and senior writer at The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, I was steeped in insider knowledge and sources. And...

Hollywood does a great job of showing its inner workings through satire. Seth Rogen’s latest venture, The Studio, is taking the viewers inside the crazy world of Hollywood movie executives. Rogen, along with Evan Goldberg, has created, written, and directed the series where he is playing the role of the newly appointed executive of a movie studio. His character, Matt Remick, and his team are navigating through the inner politics of the studio along with fighting corporate pressure and keeping their creative ambition alive.

The Studio is a comic take on a serious situation, making incredibly funny jokes about the state of the movies in the present time.

[This story contains some spoilers for the first two episodes of The Studio on Apple TV+.]

The idea of a movie studio considering a film based on Kool-Aid — the sugary drink with an anthropomorphic pitcher as logo — sounds just plausible in the current IP-obsessed era of the entertainment business. It’s also just crazy enough to be the inciting incident of Apple TV+’s Hollywood satire The Studio.

The series opener, written by creators Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Alex Gregory, Peter Huyck and Frida Perez, finds movie executive Matt Remick (Rogen) elevated to the head of the fictional Continental Studios after his predecessor, Patty Leigh (Catherine O’Hara, whose character, Rogen has said in interviews, is inspired by former Sony Pictures head Amy Pascal), is ousted following a string of flops. Matt professes over and over to be a cinephile who really, really wants to make great films, but he only gets the top job after assuring his CEO (played by Bryan Cranston...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Studio Season 1 Episodes 1 & 2.] Martin Scorsese, Steve Buscemi, Charlize Theron, Greta Lee, Nick Stoller, and Sarah Polley all appear in the first two episodes of Apple TV+‘s impressive and ambitious The Studio, which debuted on Wednesday, March 26. Created by Seth Rogen (who also stars) and Evan Goldberg, the 10-episode comedy searingly satirizes Hollywood, with its main stars playing characters alongside their real-life filmmaking colleagues who were game to parody themselves in this squirm-inducing but wildly fun series. Rogen plays Matt Remick, an executive at the fictional Continental Studios who learned everything he knows from O’Hara’s Patty Leigh. When Patty is pushed out of the studio by Continental’s corporate overlord, Griffin Mill, ...

Hot on the heels of Netflix's super popular and critically acclaimed limited series Adolescence, which was filmed all in one take, Apple TV+ debuts its new Seth Rogen comedy series The Studio. The series has something in common with the Netflix hit, but don't tune in expecting a hard-hitting drama series. Adolescence and The Studio are two completely different genres, though they share the technical achievement of allowing their stories to unfold in one take.

The Studio takes a less daunting approach, with each of its scenes filmed in one take, rather than the entire episode. If you appreciated that technique in the drama series, you're going to love how Rogen, who not only leads the series but co-directs each episode, instills the satiric comedy with an urgency that makes it impossible to look away from his character Matt Remick's many and frequent mistakes. It's a breath of fresh...
