Madonna Joins "The Studio" Season 2

For a TV series so focused on Hollywood, it’s fitting Madonna set to appear in the upcoming second season for Seth Rogen’s star-packed satire "The Studio".

The pop star on Tuesday teased her return to live-action acting on Instagram as production on a new season of the Lionsgate TV series continues in Europe.

Madonna, in her social media post, is captured in a gondola on a grand canal in Venice, Italy, while reading a script.

The Instagram post caption reads: “The Italian job.”

Social media also has varied paparazzi shots of Madonna apparently on the second season Venice set of the series.

The series stars Rogen (who also co-created it) as Matt Remick, a movie executive who is elevated to president of the fictional Continental Studios and quickly realizes he might be in over his head.

Venice is where the pop legend shot her famous “Like a Virgin” music video in 1984 and last appeared on camera in the 2002 movie "Swept Away," directed by Guy Ritchie.

"The Studio" was a major winner at the Emmys, heading into its second season production.

There’s no word on whether Madonna will play herself in the second season appearance, a feat done by Martin Scorsese, Charlize Theron, Zoë Kravitz, Ice Cube, Ron Howard, Zac Efron, Ted Sarandos, Ramy Youssef, and many other guest stars on the first season of the comedy.

Besides the late Catherine O’Hara, the ensemble cast for The Studio includes Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, and Chase Sui Wonders, while Bryan Cranston has a key recurring role.

Rogen and Point Grey Pictures partner Evan Goldberg share creator credits on the series with Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez.

They executive produce with James Weaver of Point Grey, Alex McAtee, and Josh Fagen.
