Apple TV+ dark comedy series 'The Studio', headlined by Seth Rogen, was the talk of the town at the 77th Primetime Emmys 2025 on Sunday (local time), winning 13 awards. It is now the most-awarded comedy series (of all time) in a single year at the Emmys.
The show features a Hollywood studio executive Matt Remick (Seth Rogen) caught between the age-old battle of corporate demands vs artistic passion. It pays homage to cinema, while also criticising the industry with brilliant satire, and features bizarre celebrity cameos from Martin Scorsese to Zoe Kravitz.
It follows Apple TV's limited—yet quality—lineup of comedy TV, such as Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, and Shrinking.
The show bagged the Best Comedy Series award, in addition to Rogen winning for acting, writing, and directing comedy series.
“I’m legitimately embarrassed by how happy this makes me,” Rogen said onstage.

Rogen now holds the record for most Emmys won by a single individual in one night, joining Dan Levy (2020), Amy Sherman-Palladino (2018), and Moira Demos (2016).
The Apple TV+ series quickly breezed past the 11-win record as well, securing wins for production design, oustanding guest actor (Bryan Cranston), casting for a comedy series, cinematography (Half-Hour), contemporary costumes, picture editing for a single-camera comedy series, music supervision, sound editing (Half-Hour), and sound mixing (Half-Hour).
This follows the show's stellar performance at the Creative Arts Emmys earlier this month with nine awards, as well as its record 23 nominations ahead of Sunday's event—a record shared by FX series 'The Bear'.
The series was greenlit for a second season in May, and is expected to release sometime in late 2026 or early 2027.
