Given its success with audiences and critics, the return of Apple TV's The Studio was a given. And Sunday's Golden Globe win — for best comedy/musical series, best actor in a TV comedy (for Seth Rogen) — is only further encouraging. Following his win, Rogen confirmed that they will begin filming the second season next week.
Interestingly, the finale of Season 1 of the satirical series was set against the backdrop of the Golden Globes, and Rogen shares that they're looking at the possibility of returning to the same setting by having the events in both seasons have a connecting thread where the Globes figure in.
“We’ve literally written some things that happened leading up to this award show into episodes as we’ve been writing the show. We start shooting in a week,” the entertainment outlet Variety quoted Rogen. “So yes, several things have happened, both today and leading up to this event that we have written directly into the show, and you’ll probably know what they are when you see them.” Like the first, the new season is also expected to feature more interesting cameos from popular industry bigwigs. Rogen added that some of them have expressed interest in getting featured in the show.
“A lot of people literally just come up to us and were like, ‘Put me on your show. I’ll do anything. I’ll walk by!” Rogen said. “It’s very lovely. I love that real studio heads want to be on the show.” Referring to Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos' cameo in Season 1, Rogen said, “Ted kind of ruined it for everyone. But, yeah, there are a few people we roped in tonight. This is good poaching ground for us.”
Prior to the Globes, The Studio achieved a record-breaking (for a comedy series) milestone when it became the only show to have won the most number of Emmy Awards (13) last year.
