Apple TV+ Orders Limited Series ‘WeCrashed’ Starring Jared Leto And Anne Hathaway

Apple TV+ has ordered WeCrashed, a limited series starring Oscar winners Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway, with Crazy Stupid Love helmers John Requa and Glenn Ficarra directing.

Deadline first reported last month that Leto was in talks for one of the leads in the series based on the hit podcast WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork. He and Hathaway also will executive produce the series.

Previously in development at Apple and set to be produced by Apple Studios, WeCrashed will follow 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.

The limited series is created and written by showrunners Lee Eisenberg — as part of his overall deal with Apple TV+ — and Drew Crevello, who also serve as EPs along with Requa, Ficarra, Charlie Gogolak and Natalie Sandy. Emma Ludbrook will executive produce alongside Leto through their Paradox production company. Wondery also will executive produce.
