Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched “The One With All the Money,” the series finale of “WeCrashed.”
Despite starring in a limited series about the very public demise of a somewhat cult-like multi-billion dollar company, Kyle Marvin is rather uninterested in drama.
“It’s easy to poke fun at people, and it’s hard to empathize with people,” says Marvin, who plays WeWork co-founder Miguel McKelvey in “WeCrashed.” “I think we’re hardwired for the salacious version of these stories. We’re hardwired to call this true crime, and hunt for, ‘When was he an asshole? When did he punch someone in the face?’ We’re always hunting for something nasty.”
This perspective makes sense, given Miguel’s role in the story. Adam Neumann (Jared Leto) is the wild-eyed face of the company, comparing himself to a god and earnestly envisioning himself as the world’s first trillionaire.

When it came to recreating the offices of WeWork, the company that made and lost billions of dollars, production designer Amy Williams was told she could go as big as she possibly could.
The communal office space world is depicted in the Apple TV+ series “WeCrashed,” which comes to an end on Friday. The show charts the rise and fall of founders Adam Neumann, played by Jared Leto, and his wife Rebekah Paltrow Neumann, played by Anne Hathaway.
Williams was excited as a designer to dip into the big, luscious extravagant world. Creators Drew Crevello and Lee Eisenberg mentioned she would have to build the main headquarters set. “I had this idea that I wanted it to be this confusing, M. C. Escher-type staircase [place] that was three stories and confusing,” says Williams. When she pitched it to the showrunners, they loved it. The set ended up being so big, it...

The Apple TV+ series “WeCrashed” tells the true story of Adam Neumann (Jared Leto), his wife Rebekah Paltrow Neumann (Anne Hathaway), and their rise and fall as the founders of WeWork, a company that made and lost billions of dollars on a new vision of communal office life.
As a show that revolves around questions of how the spaces we live and work in define us, “WeCrashed” offered unique opportunities to production designer Amy Williams, who was initially as intrigued by the offbeat romance scripted by showrunners Lee Eisenberg and Drew Cavello as she was by the architectural potential. “I had had production offices in WeWork spaces and was familiar with the environments, but I didn’t know the backstory,” Williams told IndieWire in a recent interview. “As soon as I started digging into the research I said, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve got to do this, this is wild.’”

Apple TV+ debuts the latest entry in the real-life-scandal-turned-drama-series category of TV that is all over the place at the moment with the exciting eight-episode drama WeCrashed, about the rise and fall of coworking-space company WeWork and it’s eccentric players. The series tracks WeWork’s co-founders, fast-talking hustler Adam Neumann (Jared Leto), his timid partner Miguel McKelvey (Kyle Marvin), and intense executive Rebekah Neumann (Anne Hathaway), who becomes Adam’s wife, as they build WeWork. They turn the company into a massive money-maker through a combo of evangelical-like enthusiasm and lots of party-throwing (Adam’s true specialty), but we also see their inevitable downfall from flying far too close to the sun, thanks to a multiple timeline plot that begins right at the beginning of the series. “I loved the fact that it’s such a recent story,” Leto says in the above TV Insider video interview. “I think...

The newest series coming to Apple TV+, "WeCrashed," highlights the whirlwind rise and fall of WeWork, a startup company that was once valued at $47 billion prior to its downfall. The series, based on the Wondery podcast "WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork," centers around the masterminds behind WeWork, husband-wife duo Adam and Rebekah Neumann.
The couple turned their idea of a shared, community workspace into a billion-dollar business on paper, but things aren't always as they appear. Due to irresponsible business management, the company's deception of investors, and excessive spending, WeWork ultimately failed, leaving those who bought into the idea of the company, including shareholders and employees, stranded.
The workings of WeWork and its failures were extensively covered in the media, but "WeCrashed" paints a more vulnerable, detailed picture of the two people behind its inevitable downfall. Ahead of the series premiere on March 18, here is all you need...

The latest in a recent boom of shows about scammers, “WeCrashed” chronicles the unicorn startup company WeWork, co-founded by Adam Neumann and his wife Rebekah Paltrow Neumann back in 2010 in New York (along with Miguel McKelvey).
The Apple TV+ limited series focuses on the rapid and erratic growth of WeWork, a company that leases different office spaces and transforms them into work environments better conducive to work and productivity. The vague mission statement of WeWork is “to elevate the world’s consciousness.
Beneath the company is a chaotic couple, whose energy becomes magnified by Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway in their portrayals of the Neumanns. More famous faces bring other players in the business world to life as well, as exemplified in our complete “WeCrashed” cast and character guide.

SXSW can’t get enough of Adam Neumann. Just last year, during the festival’s virtual edition, Jed Rothstein’s documentary feature, “WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn” centered on the co-working company’s co-founder. Now, for SXSW’s in-person return, he’s back — albeit being played by Jared Leto in the Apple TV+ scripted series, “WeCrashed.”
Expanding the runtime from 104 minutes to eight hours and adding a love story to the office drama, Drew Crevello and Lee Eisenberg’s low-key satire of WeWork’s rise and fall doesn’t suffer all the same flaws as its unscripted predecessor. Leto ably captures Neumann’s magnetism, which was oft-discussed yet never realized in the doc. The series’ structure is sound, doing just enough to support yet another in media res opening. The dark comedy clicks, the design is polished, and pacing smooth, but like the documentary (now...

Many companies these days throw around terms like “innovation,” “digital transformation,” and “entrepreneurial culture” without actually doing anything unique, a core critique lobbied by NYU professor Scott Galloway when assessing the value of real-estate start-up WeWork, who was valued like a tech company rather than a real estate company. Jed Rothstein’s energetic business documentary WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn explores the toxic side of the real estate company later known as The We Company and its flamboyant founder Adam Neumann.
Raised on an Israeli kibbutz, Neumann arrives in New York to live with his model sister and creates the co-working space WeWork with Miguel McKelvey, who also grew up on a commune, though in Oregon. They envision not just shared office space like those run by Regus––which looked more like doctors’ offices than the hip Instagram-friendly spaces they designed––but a “capitalist...

These days, eccentric, enigmatic tech founders are a dime a dozen. Heck, they have been for a decade now. “The Social Network” set a high bar for probing the callow mindsets driving so many new money decision-makers, and “Silicon Valley” parodied start-ups and their so-called geniuses for six seasons. That film came out in 2010, and that show has been over for two years. Yet our cultural fascination with the concept of an overnight success remains. It may never fade. The American dream is built on believing anyone with the right idea can become rich from it, and fast.
“WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn” tells one of these stories. Following the path laid out by its subtitle, Hulu’s documentary tracks the meteoric rise of a modest co-working venture as it morphed into the behemoth We Company — housing a half-dozen lifestyle brands like WeLive, WeGrow, and,...

A “WeWork” limited series is being developed by Apple.
Variety reported that Apple is adapting the Wondery podcast “WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork,” with Lee Eisenberg (“Little America”) and former Warner Bros. executive Drew Crevello attached as co-writers and executive producers. The project will be produced by Wondery, whose Hernan Lopez, Marshall Lewy, and Aaron Hart will also serve as executive producers.
Apple landed the rights to the untitled project but has yet to order it to series.
If Apple does move forward with the series, the project’s writers will have a veritable goldmine of corporate malfeasance to incorporate into the limited series’ plot. WeWork, a real estate company that offers shared workspaces for startups, was co-founded by Adam Neumann, Rebekah Neumann, and Miguel McKelvey in 2010. Though the company initially enjoyed rapid growth and favorable media publicity, the company’s image rapidly collapsed when WeWork’s planned...
