The Studio Season 2 is currently filming, and while it’s a shame that we won’t see more of former Continental Studios head Patty Leigh following Catherine O’Hara’s passing, there are plenty of other things to look forward to from it. For example, last month, it was revealed that Madonna will appear in the Apple TV subscription-exclusive show’s second season, ending her 24-year acting break. However, it turns out that this will be more than just another of The Studio’s celebrity cameo, as the series is using her to pull off the most epic meta Hollywood joke since Channing Tatum played Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Here’s some context: a few years back, a Madonna biopic was in development in Universal Pictures, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Julia Garner was set to play the musical artist. However, that biopic has since been shelved, and while Netflix is now putting together an autobiographical series about Madonna, Garner is not involved with it. Within the world of The Studio, however, we now know that Garner-fronted Madonna biopic lives on thanks to Continental Studios.
