Your support makes all the difference.A psychological drama that “broke” Tom Holland, prompting the 27-year-old actor to take a year-long break from acting, The Crowded Room can be watched for free on Apple TV+, as the streaming platform is now offering a free seven-day trial. Alongside Holland’s drama series, the free trial will also give you access to other hit shows, such as Ted Lasso and Servant.
The Crowded Room is a 10-episode series about Danny Sullivan (played by Spider-Man star Tom Holland, who also executive produced the show). Sullivan has been accused and arrested for his involvement in a New York shooting in 1979. While the critical reception has been a bit hit-or-miss, audiences so far seem to be enjoying the show.
Inspired by the gripping 1981 non-fiction novel The Minds of Billy Milligan by Daniel Keyes, like many Apple TV+ shows, The Crowded Room has a star-studded cast. Joining Tom Holland is Amanda Seyfried, who plays Rya Goodwin, a psychologist tasked with unspooling Sullivan’s life; Sasha Lane (American Honey); and Emmy Rossum as Sullivan’s mother, a casting that has raised eyebrows due to the nine-year age gap.
