Nicholas Braun, who plays “Cousin Greg” on HBO’s Emmy-winning drama Succession, has been tapped to portray WeWork founder Adam Neumann, who stepped down as CEO of the fast-growing company amidst a series of scandals earlier this year. Braun will also executive producer the new series, which does not have a network and will be based on the yet-to-be-published book about the saga from reporters Eliot Brown and Maureen Farrell. The news comes after reports of a WeWork film from Blumhouse Productions, which is currently being written by Charles Randolph, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Big Short and this year’s Bombshell about the Fox News women who helped take down Roger Ailes.
