Wait, Emmy Rossum Is Playing Tom Holland's MOTHER?! Hollywood Ageism?! Twitter Reacts!

The ol’ Hollywood ageism machine appears to be at it again… On Tuesday, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Emmy Rossum would be joining the cast of AppleTV+’s The Crowded Room.

The series is a “seasonal anthology” that “will explore inspirational stories of those who have struggled, and learned to successfully live with, mental illness.” Tom Holland had previously been announced as an executive producer and star of the first season.

The actors are both great, but it’s not the starpower that has folks talking right now — it’s their characters’ inneresting connection.

Sounds like an intriguing premise, but Twitter has one major problem with the production. Have you guessed the issue?
