Here’s the official synopsis:
“WeCrashed” is inspired by actual events—and the love story at the center of it all. WeWork grew from a single coworking space into a global brand worth $47 billion in under a decade. Then, in less than a year, its value plummeted. What happened? Kyle Marvin, America Ferrera, and O-T Fagbenle star in the series alongside Leto and Hathaway.
“WeCrashed” is created by Emmy nominee Eisenberg and Crevello, who also serve as writers, executive producers, and showrunners. The series is directed by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (“This Is Us,” “Crazy, Stupid, Love”), who also serve as executive producers alongside Charles Gogolak, Hathaway, and Natalie Sandy.
Tech billionaires, who act like rock star messiahs, treat people like garbage, hit the cover of all magazines while making promises they can’t keep enraging their boards to the point of being ousted and causing Silicon Valley scandals? Yep, we’re in. “WeCrashed” premieres on March 18. Watch the new official trailer below.
