AceShowbiz - Seth Rogen's latest venture into TV, "The Studio," is not only turning heads but also causing waves in Hollywood. Premiering on Apple TV+, the show has already generated a mix of praise and backlash, much like the industry it scrutinizes.
This series isn't just about the glamorous side of Hollywood. It dives deep into the gritty, often not-so-pretty realities of the industry, being inspired by real events and complexities Rogen has observed in his extensive career.
On "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert", he shared some of the reactions he received from the Hollywood insiders depicted on his show. "Yes, I've been yelled at three times in the last week. Some of them are pleased, some of them are not pleased, I will say," he dished on.
One particularly noteworthy episode was inspired by a true event related to the Golden Globes. It see Rogen's Matt Remnick attempting to get acknowledged in an acceptance speech, which is notoriously important in Hollywood circles.
According to Rogen, "Years ago, we made a film that won a Golden Globe and at the afterparty, we saw one of the executives crying, and we assumed they were crying because we won and they were happy. We went over and we're like, 'We won! Is that why you're crying?' And they said, ‘No, they forgot to thank me during the speech.' "

New episodes of "The Studio" release every Wednesday on Apple TV+, promising a dose of behind-the-scenes drama mixed with sharp wit.
