Madonna cameo in Apple TV+ series 'The Studio' season 2 praised as funny

Madonna appears as a guest in season 2 of Apple TV+’s satirical series The Studio, filmed in Venice alongside co‑star Julia Garner. Actor Chase Sui Wonders described Madonna’s performance as “funny as hell” and highlighted her enthusiasm and work ethic during the shoot.

The cameo references the abandoned Universal Pictures biopic that Madonna planned to direct, which was shelved in 2023 over budget disagreements. Series creator Seth Rogen, along with returning cast members such as Bryan Cranston and Kathryn Hahn, were present on location. The episode includes a meta moment where Madonna and Garner lip‑sync to “Like a Virgin” in the canals of Venice.
