It’s all led to this. After a season of ego trips, industry chaos, and drug-laced buffets, The Studio is racing toward its Season 1 finale with the subtlety of a Nicholas Stoller tentpole.
The first half (set in a manic, mushroom-infused CinemaCon weekend in Vegas) has already given us Griffin Mill with a lobster, Zoë Kravitz vomiting into her purse, and a studio on the brink of being swallowed whole by Amazon.
And yet, the biggest bombs have yet to drop.
Created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, The Studio has crafted a chaotic but oddly brilliant portrait of Hollywood egos and power moves disguised as parties.
But as the Season 1 finale looms, we’ve got questions. Because if Matt Remick doesn’t face his demons (and maybe Ted Sarandos), we might just riot!
Answers we need from The Studio Season 1 finale
1) What happens to Griffin after the Vegas disaster?

Griffin Mill’s drug-fueled escapade (from shroom brownies to lobster cuddling in the casino) was the kind of Hollywood mayhem only The Studio could deliver.
But we still don’t know what happens AFTER. Bryan Cranston’s portrayal hits absurd highs (literally), but the real kicker is that Patty, ever the strategist, calls the industry gossip grapevine on him while he’s still coming down.
Is Griffin soon to be one of those embattled and cautionary tales, or is this an unstable power struggle that puts him higher still? But can the show really just drop him in front of the Venetian with nacho cheese fingers and no consequences?
2) Will Continental be sold to Amazon or saved?

The boardroom pressure couldn’t be higher. The Studio’s fate rests on CinemaCon going off without a hitch… and it’s already a disaster. As Cranston’s Griffin bluntly reveals, the board is courting Amazon unless Matt can deliver a mind-blowing presentation.
That’s Seth Rogen’s Matt Remick at his most chaotic: a man who can’t cancel a drug-fueled rager even when everything he’s built is at stake.
Tallerico calls it a “personality crisis” that’s built up all season long, and now we’re at the tipping point. Can Matt pull off the show of his life?
Or is this the beginning of the end for Continental?
3) Did Matt just ruin his relationship with Zoë Kravitz?

Zoë Kravitz has been the cool constant in Matt’s crumbling world.
But after accidentally feeding her shroom brownies at his all-night Vegas party, even that bond is on the rocks.
Dave Franco may have delivered laugh-out-loud moments (“cheering on Zoë puking in her purse” is now iconic), but let’s not forget: Matt dosed a major actress before a major studio presentation.
In the Golden Globes episode, we saw how obsessed he is with being publicly thanked by Zoë. Now, he might be lucky if she speaks to him again. If their professional relationship tanks, what happens to The Silver Lake, Patty’s award hopeful?
4) Will Matt finally choose respect over being ‘cool’?
Matt Remick’s core failing isn’t immaturity, although that plays a role. It’s that he desperately wants to be liked. It’s the tale of a man who wishes to have it both ways: to be the coolest dude in the room and the most successful businessman possible, too.
But the finale might force him to pick.
With the studio hanging by a thread and his personal brand in free fall, does Matt grow up, or double down? If The Studio has taught us anything, it’s that nothing’s more uncool than caring TOO much. But it might be his only shot at redemption.
5) Who leaked the chaos to the press, and why?
We know Patty tipped off “the Hedda Hopper of the 2020s”. But is she the only mole in this Studio-sized mess? The way this series riffs on real industry insiders (hello, Matthew Belloni!) makes the gossip pipeline feel like its own character.
Did someone else sow the seed to sabotage Continental’s public image before a vote by the board? Hollywood power struggles are never about ONE betrayal alone.
With all these egos, rivalries, and deal-making in the balance, we can go so far as to expect the ultimate backstabber not to have been named yet.
