Amanda Seyfried discusses playing mysterious Rya in Apple TV+’s The Crowded Room with The Knockturnal‘s Kinsey SchofieldApple TV+’s The Crowded Room starring Amanda Seyfriend and Tom Holland (Spiderman, NBD) will go down as one of the most magnificently secretive promotional tours the world has ever known. I can’t tell you much about the 10-episode psychological thriller because they want to surprise the viewer.
It’s actually quite brilliant. There’s mystery, there’s action, there’s love, there’s lust! Grab your popcorn because we’re in for an adventure that includes shaggy hair, blue eyeshadow, and bell bottoms.
Here’s what we can spill… Tom Holland is outstanding. Period. If Law & Order’s Olivia Benson and Scandal’s Olivia Pope had a baby… it would be Amanda’s bada** character, Rya. We secretly LOVED that Amanda shares the screen with her very handsome husband in real life, Thomas Sadoski. Ask me to explain every single episode 1 – 25 of The Newsroom because I can. (Sadoski played Don Keefer.)
The cast is fantastic, the transportation into the 70s is perfection, and the story will keep your head spinning.
The very vague synopsis that I feel comfortable sharing… :::Panics::: :::Erases entire paragraph:::
Wait, I just checked IMDB for safety. Here’s the official description: “In Manhattan in the summer of 1979, a young man is arrested for a shocking crime, and an unlikely investigator must solve the mystery behind it before the true criminal strikes again.” Could Amanda be the unlikely investigator?
You’ll have to watch our exclusive interview for clues! (And A LOT of praise for creator Akiva Goldsman!)
This highly anticipated series features several familiar faces including Will Chase (Nashville), Emmy Rossum (Shameless), and Christopher Abbott of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot fame. Newcomer Levon Hawke also makes a splash… Uhm, yes. Son of THE Ethan Hawke, THE Uma Thurman… BROTHER TO MAYA HAWKE! He must be pretty cool with the kids because he has more Instagram followers than any of the fun pet accounts that I follow. I am now a fan.
If you love solving mysteries from the comfort of your couch… if you love not knowing what will happen next… Hey… if you just love anything starring Amanda Seyfried (It me.) or Tom Holland… Boy, do we have the show for you!
Apple TV+’s The Crowded Room is available to stream on June 9, 2023. Enjoy on boxes, sticks, and smart TVs ad-free. Subscription required.
PS. Tom Holland executive produces this masterpiece. From Spiderman to Bossman. We dig it.
