Apple Unveils Trailer For Star-Studded Anthology Series "Roar" Ahead Of April 15 Debut On Apple TV+
Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch's darkly comedic anthology series, executive produced by Nicole Kidman and Bruna Papandrea, features eight insightful stories about women
Apple TV+ today released the trailer for "Roar," the highly anticipated darkly comedic anthology series set to debut globally with all eight-episodes on Friday, April 15 exclusively on Apple TV+. Based on a book of short stories by Cecelia Ahern, the series is the first to be released under "Roar" creators and co-showrunners Carly Mensch and Liz Flahive's ("GLOW") overall deal with Apple TV+.

"Roar" is an anthology series of darkly comic feminist fables.

Author Cecelia Ahern executive produces through Greenlight Go and Theresa Park executive produces for her Per Capita Productions. "Roar" is produced for Apple by Endeavor Content.
