The first season of the hit Apple TV series released on March 26, starring Rogen alongside Kathryn Hahn and Chase Sui Wonders. The renewal of the series for another season was announced in May.
When asked about the actors Rogen would want to have in the show, the actor took the name of Diesel, adding there are many with whom he would want to collaborate.
"There's a lot of actors I would love to work with, and some specifically who I think, you know, their personas are funny to explore. I think Vin Diesel would be very funny and fun to work with, mostly because if you think about it, he's only in those 'Fast & Furious' movies," he said at Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
The 43-year-old actor noted some audiences know Diesel mostly for his "Fast & Furious" character, Dominic Toretto.
"For most of the people's lifetime who are in their 20s now, he's only ever been Dominic Toretto, ever. So to see him outside of Dominic Toretto to me, would be very exciting," he added.
Host of the show, Jimmy Kimmel, jokingly added that Diesel is the regular viewer of the show, following which, Rogen decided to pitch the project to the actor through the episode.
"I assume you're watching this as you do every night. I assume you're watching it while driving like a 65 Pontiac. If you would please consider, maybe we can organize a Zoom — and I'll capture your baldness on a hard drive," he said.
Directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, "The Studio" was created by the actor alongside Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory and Frida Perez. It comprised 10 episodes.

Box Office: F1 takes a promising start domestically on preview Thursday; Crushes India predictions but gets subdued response in China
Brad Pitt led F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski is buzzing, thanks to terrific reviews all across the board. The movie has started strong at the domestic box office by amassing little over USD 10 million from Thursday previews, which also includes paid fan screenings. This has set the movie up beautifully for a USD 55-65 million weekend. With very positive reception, we can expect the racing film to leg to USD 200 million, despite some stiff rivals in the form of Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman in the coming weeks. F1 Takes A Solid Start In North America; Movie Crushes Predictions In India But Not In China Internationally, the opening of F1 has been a mixed bag. In India, F1 has taken among the best starts for a non-IP Hollywood movie in India. As per early estimates, the movie's numbers are over Rs 5 crore net. It may even be Rs 6 crore but that shall be known by tomorrow when the final numbers come from all chains. This is an impressive number given the fact that the movie is sharing screenspace with big Indian movies - Sitaare Zameen Par, Maa and Kannappa. A weekend of Rs 20 crore net is on the cards and a Final Destination: Bloodlines like trend should propel this Brad Pitt movie to over Rs 60 crore net. In China, F1 has only grossed USD 2.6 million in two days. USD 900k came on Thursday while USD 1.7 million has come on Friday. The weekend of the movie looks to be around USD 7 million, strictly based on its positive reception. It is the third most preferred movie option of the weekend, below Detective Conan 28 and She's Got No Name. F1 Is A Pricey Movie And Needs Around USD 500 Million To Breakeven Theatrically Made at a production budget of over USD 200 million, the racing movie needs USD 500 million atleast for a theatrical breakeven. There's a lot of work required to get to this number but with the start, the movie may just fancy getting to that number. It is already projected to be Apple TV's biggest weekend opener, so that's a good note to open with. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on F1.
