Seth Rogen Reacts to ‘The Boys’ Ending and ‘Freaks and Geeks’ 25th Anniversary (Exclusive)


Seth Rogen has plenty on his plate these days, as an actor and producer on multiple projects. But none are quite as outlandish as his new animated series, Sausage Party: Foodtopia.

The show has been in the works since the release of the raunchy 2016 film Sausage Party, which featured Rogen and a cast of his funny friends as sentient food items in a grocery store.

“It’s really weirdly like a passion project for us,” he told ET’s Denny Directo at a screening of the new series in Los Angeles on Wednesday. “It’s something we find endlessly funny and endlessly entertaining. We’re able to get very funny people to work with us on it, which is very exciting and fun… and it’s about food f***ing each other, which ultimately, at the end of the day, is like a fun thing to write about.”

Rogen has assembled a stable of talented funny friends over the course of his career, which began on Judd Apatow’s cult classic series Freaks and Geeks in 1999. Speaking with ET, the actor and comedian was blown away by the realization that the series was celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. 

“That is crazy,” he reflected. “I was 16, 17 years old when we were making that show. I dropped out of high school to go pretend to be in high school.”

“I still am good friends with a lot of the people that were on the show,” he said of the short-lived series’ enduring impact. “People kept watching it — I meet teenagers all the time who come up to me and say they love the show.”

Since his days in TV high school, Rogen has established himself as not only a successful actor but a hitmaker behind the scenes as well. He serves as an executive producer on the Prime Video superhero series The Boys, and spoke with ET about the show’s recently announced fifth and final season.

“[Eric] Kripke, the showrunner and creator, always had a plan for the show. The comic itself has kind of like an ending… it’s not one of those things that goes on forever,” he shared. “He’s smart in knowing how much is too much and how long to have it go on for and to kind of end it as it’s still very popular… I’m thrilled about it. I’m amazed it’s gone on this long, honestly.”

Plus, Rogen pointed out, there’s still plenty to come in The Boys’ universe.

Gen V is just starting. We’re doing a second season of that and there’s other Boys shows in the works,” he shared. “When the main Boys show ends there will be many Boys things that live on.”

Sausage Party: Foodtopia is streaming now on Prime Video.
