Apple TV+ Orders Star-Studded Comedy; Elizabeth Banks Joins New Peacock Series
Apple TV+ unveiled the star-studded ensemble cast of The Studio, a new half hour comedy starring Seth Rogen, who will also serve as writer, director and executive producer alongside Emmy Award-nominee Evan Goldberg (Pam & Tommy, The Boys), and revealed that principal photography is officially under way. Multi-Emmy Award winners Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory (The White House Plumbers, Veep) created the show with Rogen and Goldberg, and Frida Perez. The Studio is about a legacy Hollywood movie studio trying to survive in a world where it is increasingly difficult for art and commerce to live together. The ensemble cast set to star alongside Rogen includes Emmy Award-nominee Kathryn Hahn (Tiny Beautiful Things, WandaVision, Transparent), Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe Award-winner Catherine O'Hara (Schitt's Creek, Argylle, Pain Hustlers), Ike Barinholtz (History of the World Part 2, Neighbors, The Mindy Project) and Chase Sui Wonders (City on Fire, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, Generation), with guest stars including Academy Award-nominee and Emmy Award-winner Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Your Honor, Argylle), Keyla Monterroso Mejia (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Abbott Elementary, Freeridge) and Dewayne Perkins (The Upshaws, The Blackening, Saved by the Bell).
Peacock has announced the straight-to-series order of the romantic dramedy The Miniature Wife, starring and executive produced by Emmy Award-nominated actress Elizabeth Banks (Press Your Luck, Pitch Perfect, The Hunger Games) and Emmy Award-Winning actor Matthew Macfadyen (Succession, Deadpool & Wolverine). Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner (Boardwalk Empire, Goliath) will serve as creators, showrunners, and executive producers. The series comes from studio Media Res (The Morning Show, Pachinko) with Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer executive producing for the studio. The Miniature Wife, based on the short story written by Manuel Gonzalez, is a high-concept marital dramedy examining the power (im)balances between spouses, Lindy (Elizabeth Banks) and Les (Matthew Macfadyen), who battle each other for supremacy after a technological accident induces the ultimate relationship crisis.
