Phrase of Invoice Hader‘s Jonestown HBO collection has reached The Studio workforce, they usually can’t consider what a “good” life-imitates-art second this has created. Creators and writers Peter Huyck and Frida Perez spoke with TV Insider on April 24 about their Apple TV+ comedy that satirizes their very own trade, the pilot of which options Martin Scorsese pitching a Jonestown film that Seth Rogen‘s Matt Remmick tries to transform into the Kool-Support film his boss Griffin Mill (Bryan Cranston) is forcing him to get made.
On April 23, it was reported that Hader will co-write and direct the HBO collection in regards to the historic occasion that coined the phrase “don’t drink the Kool-Support” and doubtlessly star because the notorious cult chief, Jim Jones. The studies famous that the collection is under no circumstances related to Scorsese and The Studio, displaying the fast place in popular culture the Apple TV+ collection has already carved out for itself since its March 2025 debut.
When requested in the event that they’ve seen the studies mentioning The Studio, Huyk advised us he “simply learn that,” including with fun that “it’s unbelievable and but it’s so plausible. It’s the one factor that is smart. It’s good.”
Huyck continued: “The humorous factor is, I’ve identified [Hader] by the years, however he’s very shut with Seth and Evan [Goldberg, series co-creator and executive producer], and he clearly has been growing this for a really very long time, so he will need to have tuned in to look at The Studio and thought, ‘Oh my gosh, everybody’s going to suppose I’m in on the joke or that this can be a new factor.’ It’s simply so humorous the timing of it.”
As Perez shared, “My favourite half was, I believe within the Selection article, it actually states like Martin Scorsese isn’t concerned on this neither is Steve Buscemi.” Perez added with fun, “That was a peak second.”
“That was. That was so humorous when the artwork imitates life, imitates artwork, it simply comes full circle,” added Huyck. “The humorous factor is, that film thought is a superb thought for a film and it ought to be made and Scorsese ought to be making it. But in addition there was a Leonardo DiCaprio model, there was a Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Everybody has been round it as a result of the story’s wonderful, which is why it felt very type of proper for us to do within the pilot. It appears like a film that somebody like Scorsese would and will make, and now Invoice Hader’s going to do it and he’s good. I’m so excited to see that.”
In The Studio Episode 1, Remmick was tasked with making the Kool-Support film their Barbie. Remmick, the newly appointed head of the fictional Continental Studios, tried to make Scorsese’s Jonestown film the Kool-Support film his boss needed. This turned out to be a lot more durable than he ever anticipated, leading to Continental shopping for Scorsese’s “swan tune” script simply to kill it.
Goldberg advised TV Insider that “it was the script” that drew Scorsese in for this guest-star position. “He simply learn the script and mentioned he was in. We by no means met the person. It was a miracle.”
