Venice Film Festival artistic director Alberto Barbera will have a small role in “The Studio” Season 2 that is currently shooting on the Venice Lido with Madonna on set.

Also spotted in Venice, besides Seth Rogen — who co-created the showbiz satire that won 13 Emmy Awards — are stars Micheal Keaton, Bryan Cranston, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Julia Garner.

The main set of the Apple TV show’s Venice shoot is the Palazzo del Cinema, where the festival’s upcoming 83rd edition is being reenacted for the show six months in advance. The Venice fest’s main venue is currently open, with flags flying and the red carpet rolled out. In the show, Rogen plays fictitious studio head Matt Remick. “The Studio” Venice shoot is expected to continue through April 3.
