Nicole Kidman, Cynthia Erivo to Star in New Apple TV+ Anthology

Apple TV+ has ordered Roar, a new anthology series of darkly comic feminist fables that will star Nicole Kidman, Cynthia Erivo, Merritt Wever, Alison Brie and others to be announced soon.

Created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch (GLOW), the series is based on a book of short stories by Cecelia Ahern. Roar is a collection of eight, half-hour genre-bending episodes, told from a female point of view.

The series is the first to be released under Mensch and Flahive’s overall deal with Apple. In addition to starring, Kidman will executive produce.
