Apple TV Plus has unveiled the first trailer for Roar, a new darkly comic anthology series starring Nicole Kidman, Cynthia Erivo, Alison Brie, and more.
Based on the book by best-selling author Cecelia Ahern, the show – adapted to screen by GLOW creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch – is set to offer up "an insightful, poignant and sometimes hilarious portrait of what it means to be a woman today."
According to the streaming service, it "blends magical realism, familiar domestic and professional scenarios, and futuristic worlds" as it tells eight separate stories about a bunch of seemingly ordinary women in surprising circumstances.
The recently released teaser gives us a good look at the wackiness in store. First, it introduces Kidman's character, 'The Woman Who Ate Photographs', who seems to experience some kind of euphoric high whenever she swallows a snapshot.
Then there's Erivo's 'The Woman Who Found Bite Marks on Her Skin', a financier who wakes up every morning to find a new wound on her body, and Merritt Wever's 'The Woman Who Was Fed By A Duck', who... appears to strike up a romance with a duck.
Brie and fellow GLOW alum feature as 'The Woman Who Solved Her Own Murder' and 'The Woman Who Was Kept on a Shelf', respectively.
Meanwhile, Issa Rae plays an author who gets puffed out of existence, AKA 'The Woman Who Disappeared'; Meera Syal is 'The Woman Who Returned Her Husband'; and Atypical's Fivel Stewart brings 'The Girl Who Loved Horses' to life.
