Jared Leto & Anne Hathaway to Lead Apple’s WeWork Show

Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway will star in Apple TV+’s new miniseries about WeWork, the startup whose CEO Adam Neumann became embroiled in a scandal.

Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway will headline Apple TV+’s upcomingÂ WeWork series called WeCrashed. It’s been 25 years since Leto last starred in a narrative TV series, shooting to stardom in his mid-20s with a role in the beloved ABCÂ high school dramaÂ My So-Called Life. Hathaway, on the other hand, has worked in bothÂ film and TV over the lastÂ decade, a healthy mix that includes her Oscar-winning performance in Les MisÃ©rablesÂ andÂ a role as a woman with bipolar disorder in Amazon’s romantic anthology seriesÂ Modern Love. Now, it looks like the two will join forces on a particularly timely story for Apple’s rapidly growing streaming service.

THRÂ reports thatÂ Leto and Hathaway will star in Apple’s new miniseries titledÂ WeCrashed, an eight-episode drama following the real-life story of Adam Neumann. TheÂ billionaireÂ rockstar CEO of popular real estate startup WeWork became the center of 2019’s most sensational business story whenÂ the company was found to have fraudulent business models, which Neumann exploited to enrich himself. Leto will play Neumann, while Hathaway will playÂ his wife Rebekah Neumann. The series creatorsÂ areÂ Lee Eisenberg and Drew Crevello, whose credits includeÂ Little AmericaÂ andÂ The Long Dark, with John Requa and Glenn Ficarra ofÂ This Is UsÂ set to direct and executive produce.

This won’t be the first showÂ detailing Neumann and his controversial business dealings. In December 2019, it was announced thatÂ SuccessionÂ star Nicholas Braun would play Neumann in a forthcoming series about WeWork’s wild history. Leto’s history of method acting and commitment to peculiar roles seems to make him the far more obvious choice to take on Neumann’sÂ larger-than-lifeÂ personality. Still, audiences will have to wait and see how WeCrashedÂ stands out amid Apple’s other exciting, star-studded projects.
