Emmy Rossum, who starred in Shameless and Angelyne, has been cast as Tom Holland’s mother in New Regency’s Apple TV+ anthology series The Crowded Room.
According to Deadline, Emmy Rossum will star with Tom Holland and Amanda Seyfried in Apple TV+’s seasonal anthology series. Candy, Danny Sullivan’s (Tom Holland) mother, is said to be played by Rossum, who is always seeking for a guy to satisfy her aspirations of salvation.
Danny Sullivan is played by Tom Holland, who also serves as executive producer, and Rya is played by Amanda Seyfried, a clinical psychologist who is presented with the most difficult case of her career. The series is billed by Apple as just a “holiday anthology” that “will examine inspirational stories of folks who have fought with mental illness as well as learnt to successfully live with it.” The 10-episode first season is directed by Kornel Mundruczo of Pieces of a Woman and written by Akiva Goldsman.
The feature film will also be executive produced by Goldsman and Mundruczo. Goldsman’s Weed Road Productions is executive producing the film.
Apple Studios and New Regency collaborated on the project. Suzanne Heathcote, Alexandra Milchan of EMJAG Productions, Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, and Michael Schaefer of New Regency are among the executive producers.
The Crowded Room’s 10-episode first season is inspired by Daniel Keyes’ book The Minds of Billy Milligan and is based in part on Goldsman’s own experiences.
Emmy Rossum is best recognised for her role as Fiona Gallagher on Showtime’s Shameless for the first nine seasons. The 35-year-old actress-singer will next be seen in Peacock’s forthcoming limited series Angelyne, in which she will play the eponymous role.
