Here’s some heavenly casting news: Emmy winner America Ferrera — who most recently starred as Cloud 9 manager Amy Sosa on NBC’s Superstore — has been cast opposite Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto in Apple TV+’s upcoming limited series WeCrashed.

Based on the Wondery podcast of the same name, WeCrashed explores “the greed-filled rise and inevitable fall of WeWork, one of the world’s most valuable startups, and the narcissists whose chaotic love made it all possible,” per the official synopsis. Ferrera will play Elishia Kennedy, “a brilliant young entrepreneur seduced into joining WeWork whose life is turned upside down as a result.”
