It is officially the award season and one title that everyone is discussing is The Studio. The comedy series received the highest number of TV nominations at the now-named Actor Awards (previously known as the SAG Awards), demonstrating that you do not need heroic battles or fantasy worlds to make a splash.

The nominations, which were announced through a livestream by members of SAG-AFTRA, honor excellent acting and excellent ensemble casts in both movies and TV shows. The ceremony is now set to release via Netflix on March 1, 2026, however, the buzz is already high.

Its cast and actors, such as Seth Rogen, Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O’Hara and Ike Barinholtz, were nominated in acting and ensemble categories. Amidst a competitive year with popular programs like The White Lotus, Abbott Elementary, and Severance, The Studio’s insane fun humor clearly resonated with the voters.
Critics and fans have praised The Studio because it is a combination of intelligent and emotional stories.
