Nicole Kidman, Alison Brie, and more embrace their wacky sides in first trailer for new Apple TV Plus series Roar

Apple TV Plus has unveiled the first trailer for Roar, a new ൲darkly comic anthology series sta🤪rring 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 C🌊arly Mensch &ndas🍨h; 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 wo🧔men 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 k༒ind 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 ꦡwound 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.

Meanwhi⭕le, 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.

Chris Lowell (GLOW), Nick Kroll (Big Mouth), Jake Johnson (New Girl🀅), Hugh Dancy (Hannibal), and Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) round out the supporting 🌳cast.

Roar is set to premiere on Apple TV Pl🌺us on April 15. While we wait, check out our list of the of all ♈time for some watchlist-related inspiration.
