There have been rumors around the internet that global music superstar Madonna is joining the cast of The Studio's second season, but is there any truth behind it?
Following its massive awards success, fans are now looking forward to the upcoming season of the hit Apple TV comedy series and finding out which other A-list stars they will recruit for guest roles. Considering the high caliber of cameos in the first season, there are expectations that the series will go bigger in its celebrity guest stars.
Is Madonna Joining the Cast of The Studio Season 2?
Madonna recently posted on her Instagram Story that she is riding a boat in Venice, Italy, while reading a script, suggesting that she is in the city for an acting project.
Considering that it's been reported that the second season of The Studio is also filming an episode in Venice, there have been speculations that the music superstar is making a guest appearance in the series.
Fortunately, we now have confirmation that Madonna is indeed joining the second season of The Studio, thanks to the paparazzi photos, as she was spotted on the set of the series alongside the main cast.
Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, and Julia Garner (who was previously attached to play Madonna in a biopic) were also seen on the set, revealing that they will also guest star in the show's Venice episode.
This will mark Madonna's return to acting after two decades. Her last live-action acting role was in the 2002 film Swept Away (which notoriously bombed at the box office) and a guest star role in Will and Grace.
The details regarding Madonna's appearance are still under wraps for now, but this is exciting news for fans nonetheless, as we can now expect her to show up in the series when it premieres.
What to Expect in The Studio Season 2
So far, the plot details regarding the second season of The Studio are still under wraps, but we can expect more hijinks and chaos from the world of Continental Studios.
"It’s definitely a level up. We’ve already started filming, and I think everyone is laughing harder and louder than they did last season, even in our first week," star Chase Sui Wonders teased to Collider last January. "I can’t say much, but there are some familiar faces that you’ll be very excited to see making fun of themselves."
While the main cast is returning, the late Catherine O'Hara is not expected to be part of the second season, as she was not able to film any scenes before her passing. It's unknown yet how her death will affect the fate of her character in the series.
Apple TV has not set a release date yet for the second season of The Studio. Stay tuned for more news and updates in the coming months.
