Exploring the plot of The Studio season 1

The Studio season 1 opens with Matt Remick (played by Seth Rogen) being appointed the head of embattled Continental Studios. While it appears to be a promotion, Remick is now faced with the challenge of managing his core team of infighting executives as they pursue their goal of making great films.

Collectively, Remick and his team face the ire of narcissistic artists and the wrath of corporate bosses as they attempt to reach their goals at a time when movies themselves are struggling to stay alive and relevant. The synopsis of the series adds:

"With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it’s the job Matt’s been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him."

Every scene in the studio has been filmed as one long tracking shot. In an interview with Esquire, Rogen explained this decision, saying:

"We wanted the show to have an immersive, manic energy to it because that’s our experience, being in these rooms with people yelling at each other. We wanted to throw you into it and create this sort of unpredictable, uneasy energy.”
