In Apple TV+’s new series, The Crowded Room, star and producer Tom Holland plays Danny Sullivan, a confused young man who is arrested and facing a number of charges that he insists he didn’t commit. The show is adapted and executive produced by filmmaker Akiva Goldsman, inspired by a novel from author Daniel Keyes. Before premiering on June 9, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with Sasha Lane (American Honey, Loki) about co-starring with Holland, transforming New York City, and more.

Set in the 1970s, The Crowded Room is a psychological drama that Lane tells us has “so many twists and turns and mysteries.” It also boasts an ensemble cast that features Holland, Amanda Seyfriend, and Emmy Rossum, and according to Lane, each of them gives a layered, emotional performance. The story is revealed through a series of interviews Danny does with an investigator, Rya Goodwin (Seyfried), while incarcerated. During their discussions, Goodwin, Sullivan and the audience begin to realize that not all is as it seems.

Lane plays Ariana, a young woman who crosses paths with Danny, and the role wasn’t an easy one to portray. During their interview, which you can watch or read below, the actress tells Weintraub that while off-set, Lane had to destress because she couldn’t “afford to bring that energy to her or to anyone else.” They also discuss transforming a street of New York City into a ‘70s vision, filming a oner, and reflects on sharing scenes with Holland, which she tells us was “a very beautiful thing to be able to witness.” She also talks about joining the cast of the long-overdue sequel, Twisters, and working with director Lee Isaac Chung.
