Seth Rogen’s Expanding Hollywood Portfolio in 2026

In 2025, Rogen’s Apple TV+ series “The Studio” earned 13 Emmys and began filming its second season in 2026. He co-stars with Rose Byrne in the Apple TV+ comedy “Platonic.” Through Point Grey Pictures, he continues to produce series such as “The Boys.” The animated film “Tangles,” produced with his wife Lauren Miller Rogen, premiered at Cannes in 2026. He will appear opposite Olivia Wilde in the forthcoming film “The Invite.”
