Of the handful of TV reveals which have debuted on the 2025 TV schedule up to now, The Studio has been certainly one of my favorites. This Apple TV+ subscription-exclusive collection following Seth Rogen’s Matt Remick doing his greatest to run Continental Studios hits that excellent mix of hilarious and cringe (in an entertaining manner). So I used to be grateful when it was introduced final month that The Studio was renewed for Season 2, and now I’m cracking up in regards to the title of a script that’s anticipated for use within the subsequent season.
This data involves us from Evan Goldberg, who co-created The Studio with Rogen, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory and Frida Perez. In an interview with Deadline, he shared how there’s already one script that’s able to go for Season 2 as a result of plans to make use of it within the first season fell by way of:
We even have one script that I assume might be in Season 2, that’s completed, known as ‘The Take a look at Screening.’ We labored on it for months as a result of it required a really particular actor, and we virtually received that actor, however then they had been too busy, so we needed to transfer on.
Peter Huyck and Frida Perez beforehand confirmed to me that there have been cases in The Studio Season 1 the place they “shelved complete episodes” as a result of particular actors, administrators and different Hollywood expertise weren’t obtainable. Now now we have an instance, though Evan Goldberg didn’t present any clues in regards to the identification of this actor. Fingers crossed they’ve room of their schedule for Season 2, as a result of I actually need to see The Studio’s tackle take a look at screenings, i.e. when members of the general public get to see upcoming motion pictures early and provides their opinion on them.
I can already envision the occasions that unfold in “The Take a look at Screening” being just like what went down in “Casting,” the place Matt and his cohorts began considering that it was racially insensitive for Ice Dice to voice the Kool-Help Man as a result of he’s Black. This led to them overhauling Kool-Help’s forged over the course of the day, but finally going again to having Ice Dice voicing the juicy mascot.
Now take that premise, however tweak it in order that the Continental Studios gang begin panicking upon listening to a damaging opinion from only one individual at a take a look at screening. Possibly that is for Kool-Help once more, possibly it’s for a special film. Regardless, they go manner too far with attempting to deal with this individual’s critiques, understand they made the film worse and check out desperately to reverse these adjustments.
Or possibly I’m manner off base with this concept and “The Take a look at Screening” will go in a a lot completely different artistic path. That’ll be tremendous, as I’m assured this episode of The Studio will nonetheless ship the laughs identical to all those in Season 1 did. This simply makes me much more desperate to Season 2, although that’s a protracted methods off.
