The Studio won Best Comedy Series at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards after starring Seth Rogen as a studio executive.
Rogen portrays Matt Remick, who takes charge of a fictional film studio and struggles to balance the company’s commercial needs with the filmmakers’ creative ambitions. The premise allows the series to parody Hollywood’s executive culture from inside the industry.
The show’s comedy draws on professional conflicts rather than a traditional family or domestic setting. Meetings, production decisions, celebrity egos, and corporate expectations repeatedly create problems for the studio’s leadership team.
At the ceremony, The Studio’s victory was reinforced by individual awards. Rogen won Best Actor in a Comedy Series, and Ike Barinholtz won Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. The series competed with several established television comedies for the top prize.
