Apple TV+ is reaching impressive heights with the arrival of Severance season 2, and the platform’s momentum may keep rolling with an exciting new series debuting shortly. Early critical reception suggests that the upcoming comedy The Studio could become another major success for Apple TV+.
The Studio receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics ahead of its Apple TV+ launch
The Studio, a fresh comedy brought to life by Seth Rogen, is set to premiere its first two episodes on Wednesday, March 26.
Apple unveiled the complete trailer for the show this past Friday, just before its premiere at SXSW.
Following the show’s debut, critics’ reviews have started surfacing, and they’re notably favorable.
As reported by Rotten Tomatoes, The Studio boasts an impressive 100% rating, indicating strong support among reviewers.
Jacob Fisher from Discussing Film shares:
[It’s] one of the best TV shows currently available on streaming. The creative partnership of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg demonstrates that their comedic talents remain vibrant, with their most heartfelt, innovative, and laugh-out-loud hilarious project to date. When a show’s main complaint is that it feels too brief, you know it’s doing something right.
In a similar vein, Judy Berman at TIME describes it as “the best new show of 2025 thus far.” Meanwhile, Angie Han from The Hollywood Reporter refers to it as “a strong contender for the best new comedy of 2025.”
Ruth Lawes at Metro states:
Mark your calendars for March 26; clear your schedule and make a bold red circle around that date, as it marks the premiere of 2025’s best show.
Get ready for uproarious laughter, some cringe-worthy moments, stunning cinematography, and appearances from A-list talents like Martin Scorsese and Zac Efron.
Across the board, reviews commend The Studio for its clever writing, impressive cast, entertaining Hollywood cameos, and distinctive one-shot filming style.
I have been eagerly anticipating The Studio since its announcement, and it’s gratifying to see that the show appears to fully live up to the buzz surrounding it.
With the conclusion of Severance’s second season on the horizon, it’s likely that Apple will heavily market The Studio to encourage viewers to maintain their subscriptions to Apple TV+ in the coming months.
Apple TV+ is offered at a subscription price of $9.99 per month and includes popular shows and films such as Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, Silo, and Shrinking. There are also multiple ways to watch for free.
