Seth Rogen’s new satirical series The Studio on Apple TV+ has been praised for its sharp humor and insider perspective on Hollywood.
Recently, Rogen and co-star Ike Barinholtz appeared on Today to discuss the show, during which a playful comment sparked major fan excitement.
When asked how The Studio ends, Rogen joked, “I can’t spoil it. Apple will have me deprogrammed. We all run away from the severed floor.” This comment immediately drew comparisons to Severance, another hit Apple TV+ series, and ignited hopes for a potential crossover.
The Studio, co-created by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, is loosely based on their experiences with Sony Pictures and explores the chaotic world of studio executives. During the interview, Rogen shared that executives were both entertained and unsettled by the portrayal, describing the experience as “very traumatic to watch.”
Ike Barinholtz also expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating that he knew it would be great from the moment Rogen pitched it. Meanwhile, Rogen admitted that while many executives appreciated the satire, some projected themselves onto the fictional characters inaccurately.
Fans are now eagerly speculating whether The Studio will truly end with a nod to Severance when it concludes on May 21, 2025. The crossover joke has added another layer of intrigue to an already highly anticipated finale.
The Studio is currently streaming exclusively on Apple TV+.
