Tom Holland (Spider-Man: No Way Home) doesn’t look dangerous in the first trailer for Apple TV+’s The Crowded Room, but is his youthful, innocent-looking face just a disguise? That appears to be what Amanda Seyfried’s attempting to figure out in the intense first look at the 10-episode series.
Emmy Rossum, Sasha Lane, Will Chase, and Lior Raz also star. Jason Isaacs, Christopher Abbott, Thomas Sadoski, and Zachary Golinger guest star.
The Crowded Room is inspired by the true story of rapist Billy Milligan, with Holland playing a character based on Milligan. In the 1970s, Milligan’s case generated significant attention due to his unique legal defense. Charged with committing robbery, kidnapping, and rape, his defense team argued Milligan suffered from dissociative identity disorder (DID).
Evidence was presented during the trial that Milligan had 24 distinct personalities who would be in charge of his actions at different times. He was ultimately acquitted by reason of insanity and committed to a psychiatric hospital. Daniel Keyes wrote about Milligan’s case in The Minds of Billy Milligan.
Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman created the series and executive produces along with Holland, EMJAG Productions’ Alexandra Milchan, and New Regency’s Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, and Michael Schaefer. Kornel Mundruczo directed the pilot (and additional episodes) and also serves as an executive producer.
The series will premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, June 9, 2023 with the release of the first three episodes. New episodes will follow on Fridays.
The Plot: “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’ (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.”
