Apple TV+<\/a> has announced that the whole of its anthology dramatization of Cecilia Ahern’s “Roar” will premiere in April. <\/p>\n

\n

Ahern’s short story collection features tales of women overcoming adversity, and eight of the tales are featured in the forthcoming Apple TV+ series. Nicole Kidman, Alison Brie<\/a>, and Betty Gilpin among the stars<\/a> playing lead roles in each edition. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“‘Roar’ offers an insightful, poignant and sometimes hilarious portrait of what it means to be a woman today,” said Apple in a press release. “Featuring a unique blend of magical realism, familiar domestic and professional scenarios, and futuristic worlds, these eight stories mirror the dilemmas of ordinary women in accessible yet surprising ways.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Writers include series creators and showrunners Carly Mensch and Liz Flahive, together previously best known for “Nurse Jackie.” The “Roar” show is the first commission from Apple TV+ following its overall development deal with Mensch and Flahive. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
