“This isn’t a place for people to punch in and out WeWork’s role is to elevate the world’s consciousness.”

Inspired by actual events — and the love story at the centre of it all. WeWork grew from a single coworking space into a global brand worth $47 billion in under a decade. Then, in just 14 days, it lost $40 billion. What happened?

WeWork was once viewed as the next hot startup, with a value of nearly $50 billion. However, the company pulled the plug on an initial public offering in September 2019 in the wake of revelations about the erratic management and personal enrichment of its now-disgraced co-founder Adam Neumann. Neumann resigned from the company around this time, while WeWork accepted a bailout from SoftBank.

Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto will portray the power couple at the centre of the story. The series is based on the Wondery podcast “WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork” from Lee Eisenberg and Drew Crevello. Along with Leto and Hathaway, the limited series also stars Kyle Marvin, America Ferrera and O-T Fagbenle.

The first three episodes of “WeCrashed” will be available to stream on Apple TV Plus on Friday, 18th March. New episodes will then be released weekly completing its eight-episode run on Friday 22nd April.
