Top 6 Apple TV+ Comedy Shows to Binge While Waiting for ‘The Studio’ Season 2

The final episode of The Studio’s season 1 is already there, which means the hit show about moviemaking won’t come back to Apple TV+ until at least next year or even later.

Produced, written, directed by and starring Seth Rogen, The Studio caused quite many hysterical laughs throughout its run of 10 episodes, following a major movie studio’s new boss Matt Remick as he navigates through the hardships of his new job.

While many fans will now count days to see what’s next for Continental Studio and its workers after the CinemaCon presentation, they might also want to fill the void with other successful TV comedy shows which, just like The Studio, are conveniently stored on Apple TV+.
