Apple TV+ released the trailer for its latest anthology series Roar, based on Cecelia Ahern’s short story collection of the same name. The series is slated to premiere on April 15. The Eyes Wide Shut actor Nicole Kidman will star in the series and serve
as the executive producer.
According to IndieWire, “Roar tells the stories of eight women who are all battling unique plights. Betty Gilpin stars as The Woman Who Was Kept on a Shelf, an elevated pedestal constructed by her husband, played by Daniel Dae Kim. Meanwhile, Meera Syal attempts to ‘return’ her own husband at a grocery store, while Alison Brie solves her own murder – while
commenting on how handsome the
killer (Hugh Dancy) is.”
The anthology series also stars Issa Rae, Judy Davis, Alfred Molina, Jake Johnson, Jason Mantzoukas, Chris Lowell, Ego Nwodim, Griffin Matthews, Peter Facinelli, Simon Baker, Jillian Bell, Bernard White, Justin Kirk and more. The eight-episode series has been
created by Carly Mensch and Liz Flahive.
