Apple TV is keeping the cameras rolling on The Studio. The satire of Hollywood’s inner workings has been renewed for a second season, ahead of its season one finale set for May 21.

Created by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez, The Studio follows Matt Remick (played by Rogen), a clueless executive unexpectedly promoted to president of the fictional Continental Studios.

“We’re thrilled to be making a second season of The Studio,” Rogen and Goldberg said. “We’re looking forward to taking the lived experience of making season one and immediately putting it into season two… and we’re excited to keep all our industry friends and colleagues guessing as to when one of their personal stories will stream on Apple TV.”

Despite not cracking Nielsen’s top 10, the series has gained critical praise for its sharp writing and inside-Hollywood references. Apple hasn’t shared exact viewership numbers, but CEO Tim Cook credited The Studio as part of a slate that drove “record viewership” in Q1, alongside hits like Severance.

The ensemble cast includes Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, and Chase Sui Wonders, with Bryan Cranston in a recurring role. Celebrity appearances so far include Martin Scorsese, Olivia Wilde, and Charlize Theron.

Apple TV programming chief Matt Cherniss praised the team, saying, “Seth, Evan, the entire creative team and cast… have knocked it out of the park… and we can’t wait to see where Matt Remick takes Continental Studios in season two.”

The Studio is produced by Lionsgate Television and Point Grey Pictures.
