Apple TV+ hit comedy could get endless new seasons, per co-creator
Following Severance is a tough job, but Apple TV+ has done surprisingly well so far, helped in large part by Seth Rogen’s hit comedy The Studio. And per a new interview with one of the show’s co-creators, there’s no end in sight for the series.
The Studio’s team wants ‘to keep doing it indefinitely’
The Studio has provided Apple TV+ with the kind of buzz and momentum it hoped to keep up following Severance’s strong run.
While the series hasn’t officially been renewed for season 2 yet, a new interview with co-creator Alex Gregory reveals the creative team isn’t planning to stop any time soon.
Russ Milheim at The Direct interviewed Gregory, where they discussed The Studio’s future.
When asked the long-term plan for the series, and how long it might run for, Gregory replied:
I think we’d like to keep doing it indefinitely… Put it this way, I don’t think there are any plans for an end… I am hopeful [for a Season 2].
It sounds like the team has already logged several season 2 ideas, and could potentially pull from scripts originally intended for season 1.
Gregory continues:
I think we might like to go overseas for something. I mean, there are all sorts of things to do, and there were full episodes written that got shelved in favor of other episodes. It’s, yeah, it is a business that has a lot of stories to tell, so we’re excited to see where we can take it.
One key part of The Studio is the involvement of many real-life Hollywood celebrities through one-off guest appearances.
Gregory believes the show’s buzz could lead to even more success in this area with season 2: “I’m hopeful that next year we’ll get even more cool cameos.”
The Studio is the rare Apple TV+ series that’s not only extremely well regarded by critics, but has also scored lots of viewers.
Even though season 2 isn’t official yet, it sounds like the creative team wants to keep going a while yet. And I have no doubt Apple wants that too, with as many new seasons coming to Apple TV+ as possible.
