The production team of The Studio has backed out of Apple TV's press day, scheduled for this coming Tuesday. They came to this decision to honor Catherine O’Hara's tragic passing on Friday. It's not surprising, as O’Hara is one of the main characters of the acclaimed Apple TV satire of current-day Hollywood.It should be noted that O’Hara was not a part of the press panel. Instead, actors like Seth Rogen, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and several other cast members of the acclaimed satire were scheduled to be a part of the panel, and probably tease something for the second season. But it seems that these plans have been scrapped in honor of the late actress.The Studio production team released a press release about withdrawing from Apple TV's press day: View this post on Instagram Instagram PostConfirming the withdrawal, the production team cited the Patty Leigh actress' passing as the reason behind this decision. Lionsgate and Apple's joint press statement confirming this development:“We are all heartbroken by the loss of Catherine O’Hara. An undeniable legend, icon, and incomparable talent, Catherine elevated every project she was a part of, including the singular genius she brought to her role on ‘The Studio,’ and every transcendent performance she gifted to us. Her artistic accomplishments will forever bring humor, light, and love for generations to come, and her brilliance and generosity of spirit touched everyone around her. We will hold her in our hearts always, and extend our thoughts and deepest sympathies to her husband Bo, and children, Matthew and Luke.”In addition to this, the production team also released the following statement on Friday, as the news of Catherine O’Hara's passing hit the internet:“We are at a loss for words at the passing of our friend Catherine O’Hara. She was a hero to all of us, and we pinched ourselves every day that we got to work with her on The Studio. She was somehow classy, warm, and hilarious all at the same time. We’re unbelievably saddened she is gone and send our deepest sympathy to Bo and all her family.”Seth Rogen, on the other hand, released a separate statement as a tribute to the late actress:“Really don’t know what to say… I told O’Hara when I first met her I thought she was the funniest person I’d ever had the pleasure of watching on screen. Home Alone was the movie that made me want to make movies. Getting to work with her was a true honour [stet]. She was hysterical, kind, intuitive, generous… she made me want to make our show good enough to be worthy of her presence in it. This is just devastating. We’re all lucky we got to live in a world with her in it.”What role did O’Hara play in the Apple TV series?The actress played the role of Matt Remick's mentor, Patty Leigh. The season premiere opens with Matt taking Patty's job as the studio head of Continental Studios. The first season ends with the hint that Patty would have a role in the upcoming second season, but it's unclear what will happen to her character in The Studio Season 2, which is currently filming."In “The Studio,” Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of embattled Continental Studios. As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps and breathes movies, it’s the job Matt’s been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him."Our condolences to all of O’Hara's loved ones who have suffered a devastating loss.
