«WeCrashed»: Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto’s first time for Apple

The ambitious rise of WeWork, one of the most profitable start-ups of recent decades, and its inevitable downfall become the focus of the new ordinal original series from Apple TV + under the direction of John Requa and Glenn Ficarra and the conception of Lee Eisenberg and Drew Cervello. Is called WeCrashed and will feature two Academy Awards, Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto, their first collaboration together. The miniseries, which could be 6 or 8 episodes, is inspired by the podcast WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork and will focus on a group of self-centered and narcissistic characters working on the development of a company linked to the offer of co-working spaces for companies and freelance workers around the world.

WeWork was born, in fact, in 2008, meeting the ever-growing need to look for low-cost spaces to be able to work and be able to stem the economic crisis of those years: a brilliant intuition that immediately met a resounding success only to crumble piece afterwards piece when it decides to go public without making any profit. At the moment, the roles that Leto and Hathaway will play are unknown: someone speculates that they could be two personalities integrated into the company, while someone else believes that they could be two outsiders who helped uncover the flaws behind the WeWork system.
