The Studio (Original Series Soundtrack) accompanies the 2025 satire television series The Studio, created by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez, and released on Apple TV+ beginning March 26, 2025. The original score was composed by Antonio Sánchez, a Grammy-winning percussionist and composer best known for his jazz-infused work on Birdman and other film projects. Sánchez’s music for The Studio blends rhythmic jazz elements with dynamic orchestral cues to reflect the comedy’s behind-the-scenes satire of Hollywood studio culture.
The soundtrack album was released digitally on March 26, 2025, by Lionsgate Records and is available on major platforms including Apple Music and streaming services. It contains 16 original score tracks with a total runtime of approximately 45 minutes, featuring compositions that mirror the series’ tonal shifts between absurdity and dramatic comedy. Physical editions have not been widely reported as of early 2026.
The score’s sound marries lively percussion, melodic jazz motifs, and contemporary scoring techniques that underscore both comedic timing and narrative beats within the series. Sánchez’s approach situates The Studio sonically between traditional jazz scoring and modern television scoring, adding rhythmic momentum to character interactions and satirical set-pieces.
