Apple today announced it has given a series order to “WeCrashed,” a new limited series based on the hit podcast “WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork.” The limited series will detail the “greed-filled rise and inevitable fall of WeWork, one of the world’s most valuable startups.”
The series is set to star Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway, both of whom will also serve as executive producers on the series. Lee Eisenberg created the series, and it will be directed by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, known for “This Is Us” and “Crazy Stupid Love.”
WeWork is an American commercial real estate company that provides flexible shared workspaces for technology startups and services for other enterprises. As of 2019, WeWork was valued at nearly $50 billion as it readied itself for an IPO. However, the company soon crashed following a series of articles that highlighted the horrible mismanagement and the odd behavior of CEO Adam Neumann, who was quickly ousted. The IPO was canceled and the company’s valuation soon plunged to $5 billion.
Apple has not provided details on a launch date for the new series.
