The Apple TV+ satire 'The Studio' has drawn attention for its portrayal of the entertainment industry, particularly how art can mirror real-life events. However, it appears the reverse is happening, with HBO developing a series on the Jonestown massacre, inspired by a plot from 'The Studio.' The show's pilot features a character grappling with creative integrity over adapting a screenplay about the tragic event, which adds a layer of irony to the real-world adaptation unfolding now.
Real life, it appears, has begun imitating The Studio, as HBO is developing a series about the Jonestown massacre with creators Bill Hader and Daniel Zelman.
In The Studio's pilot episode, a major plot point involves the main character's struggle with adapting an inane property relating to the Jonestown massacre.
