Seth Rogen lands the 'tragic job' of studio executive in his new comedy series
Briefly

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's new series, 'The Studio', is inspired by a cynical confession from a studio executive regarding the industry's tendency to stifle creativity. Rogen portrays a flustered Hollywood executive navigating the pressures of decision-making at a movie studio. Drawing from interviews with real executives, the show explores the tragic nature of their work, balancing comedy with deep insights into the film industry's risk-averse culture. Rogen's personal anxieties about the show's reception reveal the emotional stakes involved in creative endeavors.
"It's a very tragic job, and I think tragedy is comedy in a lot of ways," Rogen says of the role. "They have to say things that make me really mad at them..."
"Honestly don't think I've had the stomach to put myself like this front and center in something in a long time because it's just scary," Rogen admits.
