Last Updated on May 25, 2023

Apple Originals takes you on a roller coaster ride in the trailer for the new drama, The Crowded Room. The Crowded Room features Tom Holland as the lead in this limited series which will be streaming exclusively on AppleTV+. Holland is additionally on board as a producer of the show. The series is created by the Academy-Award-winning writer of A Beautiful Mind, Akiva Goldsman. The tense drama is set to have a ten-episode run, with its premiere on June 9 and will have one new episode streaming every Friday through July 28. 

The official synopsis for The Crowded Room from Apple reads,
The Crowded Room follows ‘Danny Sullivan’ (Holland), a man who is arrested following his involvement in a shooting in New York City in 1979. A captivating thriller told through a series of interviews with curious interrogator ‘Rya Goodwin’ (Amanda Seyfried), Danny’s life story unfolds, revealing elements of the mysterious past that shaped him, and the twists and turns that will lead him to a life-altering revelation.

Holland is joined by an ensemble that features Amanda Seyfried, Emmy Rossum, Sasha Lane, Will Chase, and Lior Raz. The Crowded Room will also feature guest stars Jason Isaacs, Christopher Abbott, Thomas Sadoski, and Zachary Golinger. The show is a co-production between Apple Studios and New Regency. The creator Goldsman also serves as executive producer through his production company, Weed Road Productions. Joining as executive producers are Alexandra Milchan for EMJAG Productions as well as New Regency’s Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, and Michael Schaefer.

The 10-part series is helmed by directors Kornél Mundruczó, Brady Corbet, Mona Fastvold, and Alan Taylor. Holland looks to continue trying to break from the Spider-man image as the Marvel actor has dabbled in dramas before with such projects as The Devil All the Time and Cherry. He also isn’t the only one with connections to the comic book movie world, as the show’s creator Akiva Goldsman is credited with two of the most notorious comic book films among Batman fans, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. However, Goldsman has also collaborated with Ron Howard for such projects as Cinderella Man and A Beautiful Mind.
