Nicole Kidman and Cynthia Erivo star in a fantastical, genre-bending new anthology series told through the eyes of eight different women.
Roar is based on Cecilia Ahern’s book of short stories, titled Roar: A Story for Every Woman, and the Apple TV Plus adaptation is billed as “eight stories, one roar. A collection of genre-bending stories told through eight women’s eyes”.
From Glow creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, each of the episodes is a half-hour standalone story from a different woman’s perspective.
Alongside Kidman and the Oscar-nominated Erivo, the series also stars a number of other famous faces, including Meera Syal and Glow’s Betty Gilpin and Alison Brie.
