Fivel Stewart Interview: Roar

screenrant.com:

Roar is anew feminist anthology series from GLOW creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, which arrives April 15 on Apple TV+. The show consists of eight individual episodes with interconnected themes, and almost every darkly comic fable contained within is based on a short story from Cecelia Ahern's Roar collection. Each episodes focuses on one particular woman navigating extraordinary circumstances that bend genres from magic realism to science fiction depending on the story.

The final episode in the Roar anthology is titled «The Girl Who Loved Horses.» Starring Fivel Stewart (Atypical) as Jane, this is a feminist twist on the Western revenge tale. While Jane is hellbent on avenging her father’s death at the hands of Silas McCall (Alfred Molina, Spider-Man: No Way Home), her neighbor and old friend Millie (Kara Hayward, Us) hopes she can find a more peaceful solution. While the two girls initially butt heads, they eventually forge an unlikelybond as they learn more about themselves, justice, and each other.
