The Studio Season 1 (2025) Soundtrack Guide

The Studio

Apple TV 7.9 Comedy | Drama 2025

Desperate for celebrity approval, the newly appointed head of a movie studio and his executive team at Continental Studios must juggle corporate demands with creative ambitions as they try to keep movies alive and relevant.

The soundtrack for the first season of Apple TV+'s comedy series The Studio features an eclectic mix of classic big band swing, vintage pop, and rock classics. To accompany the fast-paced, high-stress corporate environment of a Hollywood movie studio, the series uses famous historical tracks from artists like Louis Prima ("Sing, Sing, Sing") and Chet Baker. Alongside these licensed hits, the show features an original, percussion-heavy instrumental score composed by acclaimed jazz drummer Antonio Sánchez.

Created by and starring Seth Rogen as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of a struggling, legacy movie studio, the series satirizes the high-pressure business of making films. The music acts as a direct reflection of Matt's mounting anxiety and professional hurdles. Notable songs in the season include Electric Light Orchestra's "Long Black Road," Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind," and The Rolling Stones' classic "You Can't Always Get What You Want," which plays during key moments of corporate crisis.

The Studio (Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack)

The music in The Studio successfully spans different eras of entertainment history, mirroring the clash between traditional Hollywood legacy and modern corporate demands. From mid-century jazz standards like Billie Holiday's "It Had To Be You" to 80s synth-pop hits like Tears for Fears’ "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," the soundtrack maintains an energetic and slightly ironic tone. Antonio Sánchez's drum-centric score completes the package, driving the comedic momentum of the season.
