Did Matt Remick Save Continental From Sale to Amazon in ‘The Studio’ Season 1 Finale?
Continental’s fate has been a burning question ever since that wild party in The Studio’s episode 9. Now it does seem like Seth Rogen’s character set it all up for his company’s brighter future — here’s how.
Seth Rogen’s messy satire series The Studio went completely bonkers in its first season’s finale, but all the chaos unfolded ahead of the CinemaCon presentation was probably worth the shot after all.
Apart from witnessing one of the wildest parties on modern TV with Dave Franco and Zoë Kravitz completely losing it over the mushrooms-stuffed chocolate, The Studio’s previous episode follows Seth Rogen’s Matt Remick through another circle of madness as he finds out about Amazon’s alleged intention to buy Continental.
Things start swirling in an even crazier way from that moment on, but the season’s finale seemingly keeps Continental’s fate under wraps — however, fans think they already have an answer they needed all along.
What Happens at Continental’s CinemaCon Presentation in Episode 10?
Now that he and his colleagues risk losing their jobs and the right for independent moviemaking, Matt realises the only way to save the studio from being absorbed by a giant tech company is to make the hell of a show at CinemaCon, promoting the theatre owners to get in line for Continental’s upcoming movies.
The first part of the final episode sees the studio bosses’ numerous attempts to revive Continental’s CEO Griffin Mill who got tempted by those shrooms at the party just way too much, expecting him to deliver a powerful speech at the presentation that would save Continental from being sold.
When all possible methods prove themselves as failures, suddenly it’s Matt who becomes the one to make a touching tribute to his co-workers, eventually causing a round of applause for Continental’s bosses and, most likely, for the studio’s original movies too.

Since a successful presentation at CinemaCon was the only condition Matt and his team had to fulfill, there’s a solid chance that even Griffin Mill’s failing attempts to deliver a speech just went unnoticed; however, some even assumed Mill’s revelation about Amazon’s intentions was nothing more than a drunken joke.
“Pulling off the presentation was basically the conflict resolved. It would've been nice to actually see the suits react to it though, even if we didn't get [to] see their final decision (could've been a nice meta scenario about the fate of show's renewal-if they didn't already announce the S2 renewal). It never really felt like true tension to me because for all we know Griffin Mill just made it up or was blowing it out of proportion”, Redditor l3reezer explained in a thread.
“They saved the company. They for sure sold the s—t out of their summer releases. So now these movies have to be awesome as s—t. And there will be zoinks as things fall apart on set for season 2”, darsvedder agreed.
Overall, The Studio’s first season received all possible praise for wrapping it all in a perfect way.
“I think this was the best Season finale I've seen this year, being placed second behind Severance. The amount of hilarity packed into these last 23 minutes, a short runtime, felt like the longer 35 we are used to. Seth Rogen has completely won my respect as an artist and creator. What a fantastic job he has done with this from creation, to writing, and acting. Obviously, it's not just him, but wow, what a f—king banger of a first season”, SpaceCases__ commented.
