Amanda Seyfried Joins Tom Holland in TV Series "The Crowded Room"

American actress Amanda Seyfried is set as the female lead opposite Tom Holland in Apple’s seasonal anthology series "The Crowded Room".

The series is written by Akiva Goldsman and directed by Kornel Mundruczo.

"The Crowded Room" explores inspirational stories of those who have struggled with mental illness and learned to live successfully with it.

The first season consists of 10 episodes. It is based in part on Goldsman’s own life and inspired by Daniel Keyes’ biography "The Minds of Billy Milligan".

Seyfried will portray Rya, a clinical psychologist faced with the most challenging case of her career. She cannot help but put her patients first, all the while trying to balance her life as a single mother.

Holland, who also executive produces alongside Goldman, stars in the lead role of Danny Sullivan, loosely based on Milligan, who was the first person acquitted of criminal activity while in dissociative identity disorder.

"The Crowded Room" is a co-production between Apple Studios and New Regency. Goldsman serves as executive producer through his Weed Road Production company.

The series also will be executive produced by Mundruczo, Suzanne Heathcoate, Alexandra Milchan for EMJAG Productions, and New Regency’s Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, and Michael Schaefer.

Seyfried will next be seen starring as Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s limited series "The Dropout".
