Seth Rogen’s upcoming Apple TV+ comedy The Studio just released a wild new clip featuring Johnny Knoxville, Josh Hutcherson, and a whole lot of zombie-induced chaos.
The scene teases Duhpocalypse, a fake movie within the show, where Knoxville and Hutcherson battle an undead menace with an unusual weapon - explosive diarrhea.
Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of Continental Studios, struggling to keep Hollywood relevant while navigating corporate pressure and artistic ambition.
Check out the trailer below.
In the clip, Knoxville describes Duhpocalypse as “a dark satire about medical disinformation,” but the studio execs are more concerned with the fallout - specifically, theatre owners refusing to play the trailer due to the extreme bodily fluids.
The trailer-within-the-show kicks off with a dramatic news report about a city in chaos.
Knoxville and Hutcherson’s characters confront a zombie, only to realize too late that it’s about to unleash something far worse than a bite.
“Oh sh*t - he’s dropping trou,” Knoxville warns before the zombie sprays Hutcherson in a disgusting explosion.
Cut to a tense boardroom meeting, where Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, and Chase Sui Wonders debate whether the diarrhoea scene is worth keeping.
Knoxville insists the satire shouldn’t be overshadowed by the shock factor, but Rogen’s character has the final say, “No, it’s true, but I definitely want that diarrhea explosion in the trailer.”
Created by Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez, The Studio premieres March 26 on Apple TV+.
The series is produced by Lionsgate Television and Point Grey Pictures, with Rogen, Goldberg, and James Weaver among the executive producers.
