Roar Cast & Character Guide
Warning: the following contains SPOILERS for Roar.
Roar brings together a cast of talented newcomers and silver screen veterans in a genre-melding anthology comprised of 8 feminist fables. Roar is undoubtedly an experimental foray into series-based storytelling. The cast of Roar faces the challenge of contributing something that's truly worthwhile to the growing number of feminist stories in contemporary media and entertainment.
Roar is based on a book of the same name, a collection of 30 short stories by author Cecelia Ahern, which was published back in 2018. The Apple TV+ series was created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, the creative duo behind GLOW, who worked directly with Ahern in developing the show. The result is a limited series of independent stories that combine magic realism, horror, dark comedy, surrealism, and social reality from the political perspective of feminism.
