The unique nature of Roar comes from its woman-driven stories where there occurs a moment of transformation for a female character in each of the tales. The book shows the reader the “sometimes comic, always moving look at the guilt, joys, humiliation and triumphs that define the modern woman’s experience, including the private moments when she feels the need to roar”.

Roar is being co-produced by Ahern’s Greenlight Go Productions and Kidman’s production company Blossom Films, in a deal with streaming service Apple TV+.

Release date is yet to be announced so we will let you know as soon as we hear any more news.
