Seth Rogen Conducts Venice Film Festival Research for The Studio Season 2

Seth Rogen has been spotted at the Venice Film Festival conducting research and scouting locations for the second season of Apple TV+’s hit comedy series The Studio. His surprise appearance at the festival, including attending the world premiere of Benny Safdie's The Smashing Machine and mingling with stars like Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, strongly indicates that the Venice Film Festival and similar high-profile industry events will feature prominently in the upcoming season. Rogen, who plays studio boss Matt Remick, has been actively documenting the festival through photos and videos to capture the atmosphere for the show. The Studio, which received a record-tying 23 Emmy nominations in its first season, satirizes the challenges of running a legacy Hollywood studio in a modern entertainment landscape. Despite some criticism from real-life studio executives, the series continues to blend insider Hollywood experiences with sharp comedy. Rogen and co-creator Evan Goldberg have expressed enthusiasm for incorporating the lived experiences of making the first season into future episodes, aiming to extend the show for multiple seasons.
