WeWork CEO Adam Neumann promised his employees and investors the world. But he wanted more.
That’s not an original premise, but it is the story of “WeCrashed,” the eight-part limited series about the rise and fall of the shared workspace company that premiered Friday on AppleTV+.
At the center is Neumann, played by Jared Leto, and wife Rebekah (Anne Hathaway). Separately, they floundered; Neumann, an Israeli entrepreneur, bounced around starting companies that never got off the ground, while Rebekah, the cousin of actress Gwyneth Paltrow, worked briefly on Wall Street before turning to yoga. But together, they fed off each other. He focused her, she lifted him.
