Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto will star in Apple’s series on WeWork

Los Angeles. Anne Hathaway i Jared Leto, Two of Hollywood’s best-known faces, have signed on for Apple to star in a series about the financial scandals surrounding the coworking office company WeWork.

The technology company confirmed this Friday that its brand new television catalog will feature this new fiction, entitled “WeCrashed”, based on real events and starring two Oscar-winning stars who for several decades did not work regularly for the small screen.

“‘WeCrashed’ will narrate the ambitious rise and fall of WeWork, one of the most valuable startups in the world, and the narcissists who made it possible,” describe the company on the plot of the series, which will be released on the Apple TV + platform.

The original company, WeWork, was born in the United States in 2010 during the boom of shared workspaces and soon expanded its offices to Europe, Latin America and the Asian continent.

The founders created huge expectations that attracted countless investors, who valued the company at more than $ 50 billion, but mismanagement and countless questionable practices by employers led to them declaring in 2019 millionaire losses and sell the brand.

Today, WeWork continues to operate in numerous cities but its case has become a paradigm of the inflated forecasts that are often associated with start-ups in the United States.

Leto, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for “Dallas Buyers Club” (2013) and has also starred in films such as “Suicide Squad” (2016) and “Blade Runner 2049” (2017), will play in this case a Adam Neumann, Founder of the company accused of pyramid scam.

Hathaway, meanwhile, won the Oscar for “Les Misérables” (2012) and here he will play Neuman’s wife, Rebecca, Co-founder of the project.
