Hollywood may be a small world, but it’s actually a pretty large industry, and “The Studio” is getting a lot of famous faces from it to help tell their story.

Now streaming on Apple TV+, the series created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg centers on Matt Remick (Rogen) as he’s suddenly given his dream job of running a movie studio. The studio itself is fictional, as are the movies it creates in the show, but the actors and creators it employs are very real.

With the first two episodes available now, fans have already seen a handful of the famous faces that pop in on the series, including Martin Scorsese and Bryan Cranston.

But brace yourself, because more are coming.

You can check out the full list of guest stars for the series below.

Apple TV+’s The Studio aims to give audiences a peek behind the Hollywood curtain. Funnily enough, it was reported years ago that Seth Rogen had pitched an idea at HBO that pre-dated Entourage, but would be very similar in navigating the glamour of showbiz and would also intend to show some inside baseball on the film industry in Hollywood. Rogen gets to do it in a different fashion with his new TV series and, just like Entourage, there are cameos aplenty by a large number of people playing a version of themselves.

The Hollywood Reporter has just revealed the extensive list of who will be appearing in The Studio. If you’d rather be surprised by who shows up, you can probably consider these spoilers.

The list of Hollywood faces that will make appearances on the show include Aaron Sorkin, Adam Scott, Anthony Mackie, Antony Starr, Arthur Keng, Bill Watterson,...

Seth Rogen is "putting a band together" for his new Apple TV+ comedy The Studio.

A just-released reel shows the co-creator, director, writer, executive producer, and star rattling off just a few of the A-list names fans can expect to see this season. "I'm stressed out just thinking about it," he jokes.

Just wait until he has to figure out the show's Emmy submissions. Check out the clip below.

Here is the full list of guest stars confirmed to appear on this season of The Studio: Aaron Sorkin, Adam Scott, Anthony Mackie, Antony Starr, Arthur Keng, Bill Watterson, Bryan Cranston, Charli D’Amelio, Charlize Theron, Chris Gann, Courtney Pauroso, Dan Black, Dave Franco, David Krumholtz, Derek Wilson, Devon Bostick, Dewayne Perkins, Erin Moriarty, Greta Lee, Ice Cube, Jean Smart, Jen Statsky, Jessica Clements, Jessica St. Clair, Johnny Knoxville, Josh Hutcherson, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Kit Hoover, Larry Brown, Lil Rel Howery,...

The Studio has revealed its full guest cast for the Hollywood sendup series co-created by Seth Rogen.

Rogen — also the lead actor, writer, director and executive producer on the Apple series about moviemaking — has taken to his director’s chair to announce the many guest stars in the comedy, which had promised A-list cameos in every episode. In The Studio, Rogen stars as Matt Remick, a newly appointed (fictional) head of the embattled Continental Studios who finds himself forever fighting and debating with his fellow creatives and demanding actors over whether art and commerce can coexist in Hollywood.

“I kind of viewed it like I was putting a band together,” Rogen explains in the new teaser, which briefly introduces a handful of characters played by some of the starry names below.

It had been previously announced that The Studio, along with Rogen, stars Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O’Hara, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders,...

AMC has canceled the Bob Odenkirk-led series Lucky Hank after just one season, despite positive critical response. The show followed Odenkirk's character, an unlikely chair of the English department at a badly underfunded school, as he copes with a midlife crisis and his wife questions her choices. Odenkirk's current 14-year run on AMC, thanks to his role as Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, comes to an end with the cancelation of Lucky Hank.

Lucky Hank has come to an unfortunate early conclusion; AMC has canceled the Bob Odenkirk-led series after just one season, per Variety. The comedy-drama followed Odenkirk's William Henry Deveraux Jr., the unlikely chair of the English department at Railton College, a badly underfunded school in the Pennsylvania rust belt, as he copes with a midlife crisis. As his life unravels, his wife, Lily (portrayed by The Killing's Mireille Enos), begins questioning her professional path and choices.

AMC has canceled “Lucky Hank” after one season, Variety has confirmed.

Based on Richard Russo’s “Straight Man” novel, the eight-episode dramedy follows William Henry “Hank” Devereaux Jr. (Bob Odenkirk), an unlikely chairman in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt. Just as Hank’s career and home life begins to unravel, his wife Lily (Mirielle Enos) also decides to take a look at some of her past choices that led to her current reality. The series is told in first person from Hank’s point of view.

“We’re proud of ‘Lucky Hank’ and thankful for the work of everyone who brought this unique, playful and deeply human show to viewers, from the talented creative team to our partners at Sony and, of course, Bob, Mireille and the entire cast and crew,” said AMC in a statement. “Unfortunately, we are not able to proceed with a second season,...

With the first two episodes currently available to stream, Lucky Hank is an all-new Bob Odenkirk-led series from the executive producers of Breaking Bad spinoff, Better Call Saul. Lilah Fitzgerald will make her first appearance as Ava in Lucky Hank Season 1 Episode 3, "Escape."

Meanwhile, the professors will end up in a spiral of their own when cutbacks pose a threat to their tenure.

Fitzgerald is known for playing Ghoulia in Monster High: The Movie and her new fantasy novel Stars and Swashbucklers is slated to release on April 4th. In addition to Odenkirk, the cast of Lucky Hank includes Arthur Keng, Haig Sutherland, Shannon DeVido, Oscar Nuñez, Jacki Gunn, and Jackson Kelly.

"Tenure doesn't mean you can't get smacked in the face." AMC has revealed an official trailer for their new upcoming Bob Odenkirk series titled Lucky Hank, created by Aaron Zelman Paul Lieberstein, directed by Peter Farrelly. It will be out for streaming in March next month. The series follows the unlikely chairman of the English department, William Henry Devereaux, Jr. - a born anarchist - partly because his department is savagely divided. Over the course of a single convoluted week, he threatens to execute a duck, has his nose slashed by a feminist poet, discovers that his secretary writes better fiction than he does, suspects his wife of having an affair with his dean, and finally confronts his philandering elderly father, the one-time king of American Literary Theory. Bob Odenkirk stars with Mireille Enos & Olivia Scott Welch as his family. Additional series regulars include Sara Amini, Diedrich Bader, Suzanne Cryer,...

Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Straight Man, by Richard Russo, the “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” alum plays Hank Devereaux Jr., head of the English department at the underfunded Railton College, whose life begins to fall apart.

Being English department head doesn’t seem to have any special perks on the surface, but in the first official trailer for the AMC series Lucky Hank, Bob Odenkirk proves that it serves as great source material for maximum melodrama.

“The fact that you’re here means you show very little promise,” Professor Hank Devereau (Odenkirk) spits at a student before immediately asking: “Did that sound harsh?” Soon, a headline in the school newspaper reads: “Prof. Devereaux Calls All Railton Students Mediocre.”

The series, set to premiere on March 19, seems...

Slippin’ Jimmy slipped his way back onto AMC. Less than a year after closing out the saga of Saul Goodman on “Breaking Bad” prequel “Better Call Saul,” Bob Odenkirk is back on the channel for new series “Lucky Hank,” and the first full-length trailer for the college-set show dropped this Wednesday.

Alongside the trailer, AMC Networks also revealed that the series’ debut episode will also air on BBC America, IFC, and SundanceTV, in addition to AMC and its streamer AMC+.

Based on the 1997 novel “Straight Man” by Richard Russo, best known for the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “Empire Falls,” “Lucky Hank” has a similar premise to 2021’s Netflix series “The Chair,” which starred Sandra Oh as the stressed-out chair of a college’s English department. Odenkirk takes on the role of William Henry Devereaux Jr., the English department chair at Railton College, a poorly funded university in the Pennsylvania rust belt.

Better Call Saul may be done, but Bob Odenkirk is returning to AMC very soon.

AMC Networks announced today that Lucky Hank will debut across four of its linear networks, with BBC America, IFC, and SundanceTV joining AMC and AMC+ for a multi-network premiere event on Sunday, March 19 at 9:00 p.m. Et/Pt.

Lucky Hank is a mid-life crisis tale set at Railton College, told in the first person by William Henry "Hank" Devereaux, Jr., the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in a working-class American town.

Hank's discontent is rooted in unresolved issues with his father, a mediocre and entitled student body, and in the fact that his department is more savagely divided than the Balkans.

Mireille Enos stars as Lily Devereaux, the emotionally grounded, unflappable wife of Hank and the Vice Principal of the local high school in rural Pennsylvania where they live.

Lilah Fitzgerald has signed on to join AMC’s “Lucky Hank” in a guest role.

Formerly titled “Straight Man,” the eight-episode dramedy follows William Henry “Hank” Devereaux Jr. (Bob Odenkirk), an unlikely chairman in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt. Just as Hank’s career and home life begins to unravel, his wife Lily (Mirielle Enos) also decides to take a look at some of her past choices that led to her current reality. Based on the novel by Richard Russo, the series is told in first person from Hank’s point of view.

The “Monster High” alum will play one of the students at the school with a special interest in starting an organization to “avert mediocrity.” However, she seems to have some underlying ulterior motives.

Other previously announced cast members include Alvina August, Sara Amini, Diedrich Bader, Suzanne Cryer, Olivia Scott Welch, Arthur Keng and Cedric Yarbrough.

Alvina August has been cast in a recurring role in Bob Odenkirk’s upcoming AMC dramedy series “Straight Man,” Variety has learned.

August currently stars as Detective Karen Hart in the CW series “Nancy Drew,” which is ending after its current fourth season. She...
