WeCrashed

WeWork grew from a single New York coworking space into a $47 billion company in under a decade. Within a year, most of that value was gone.

In 2022 the story became an 8-episode Apple TV+ series based on Wondery's podcast WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork, with Jared Leto as Adam Neumann and Anne Hathaway as Rebekah Neumann. It premiered on 18 March 2022.
