Inspired by The Minds of Billy Milligan, a non-fiction novel by Daniel Keyes, the series follows Danny Sullivan (Holland) who is arrested in 1979 for his alleged involvement in a shooting that took place in New York City.

In a series of interviews with detective Rya Goodwin (Seyfried), he reveals his traumatic life story, although there are some moments that remain unclear even to him – described as "blank spots" in the tense teaser.

The Crowded Room comes from screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, who is best known for his work on acclaimed biopic A Beautiful Mind which starred Russell Crowe as mathematician John Nash.

The psychological thriller is another starry project from the streaming service, with Holland recently dominating the box office with Spider-Man: No Way Home and video game adaptation Uncharted.

Meanwhile, Seyfried recently won a slew of awards for her performance in The Dropout, which explored the life of fraudulent entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes and her doomed biotech company Theranos.
