Leto and Hathaway are playing WeWork founders Adam and Rebekah Neumann. Kyle Marvin also stars as WeWork co-founder and "chief culture officer" Miguel McKelvey.
The series, which was announced back in February of 2020, is being created by Lee Eisenberg, who has an overall deal with Apple and has already worked with the streaming service on Little America.
