“The Crowded Room” is an exciting series that will explore inspiring stories from those who have successfully struggled with and learned to live with mental illness. The 10-episode first season of the anthology is a gripping thriller, based on a portion of Goldsman’s own life, and inspired by Daniel Keyes’ award-winning biography “The Minds of Billy Milligan.”

Tom Holland will star in the title role as ‘Danny Sullivan’ and will serve as executive producer alongside Goldsman. Kornel Mundruczo (“Pieces of a Woman”) will serve as director and executive producer on the first season.

In addition to Holland, the first season of “The Crowded Room” will feature Seyfried as ‘Rya,’ a clinical psychologist facing the most challenging case of her career. She can’t help but put her patients first as she tries to balance her life as a single mother.
