Superstore's America Ferrera will be taking on another workplace-set TV project, as she's joined new Apple TV+ series WeCrashed.
Emmy-winning actress Ferrera will star alongside The Dark Knight Rises star Anne Hathaway and Zack Snyder's Justice League's Jared Leto in the limited series, which is based on the Wondery podcast of the same name.
According to TVLine, WeCrashed will explore "the greed-filled rise and inevitable fall of WeWork, one of the world's most valuable startups, and the narcissists whose chaotic love made it all possible".

Ferrera, who played Cloud 9 store manager Amy Sosa on Superstore and also produced the show, will play a character called Elishia Kennedy, described as "a brilliant young entrepreneur seduced into joining WeWork whose life is turned upside down as a result".
Hathaway and Leto's roles have not yet been revealed, although it has been confirmed that the pair will also executive produce the series.
This Is Us directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra are directing the show, while Little America's Lee Eisenberg and The Grudge 2's Drew Crevello are showrunners.
WeWork is a real estate company that specialises in providing flexible shared workspaces and office services to entrepreneurs and enterprises, which hit the headlines when it filed for an IPO in 2019.

Ferrera, who rose to fame after playing the lead role of Betty Suarez in ABC comedy-drama Ugly Betty between 2006 and 2010, is also an executive producer and director on Netflix series Gentefied.
Superstore came to an end earlier this year after six seasons, with fans calling the finale the perfect ending for the characters.
Showrunners Jonathan Green and Gabe Miller revealed after the finale had aired that they had to "quickly recalibrate" their plans after the show was cancelled in order to ensure that it had an appropriate ending, explaining that they had already been planning a seventh season.
"The final shot of the season would've been a wall going up and dividing the store", Miller said, adding: "That was already part of our plan, but we just adapted that for the series finale."
