- The show will revive Madonna’s previously shelved biopic project, which she was originally set to write and direct before opting for a world tour instead.

- The Studio is known for featuring star cameos playing fictional versions of themselves and satirizes the Hollywood film industry, with the upcoming season addressing film festival standing ovations.
