We are sadly not getting a new season of GLOW but the show’s creators, Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, have already teamed up with Alison Brie for their upcoming project with Apple TV Plus, the duo’s first under an overall deal with the platform.
Roar is adapted from Cecelia Ahern’s book of short stories of the same name. It’s a genre-bending collection of eight half-hour episodes told from unique female points of view. Brie is set to star along with Nicole Kidman, Cynthia Erivo, and Merritt Wever.
Roar is one of many new shows coming to the streaming platform, which got its first Golden Globe win with Ted Lasso’s Jason Sudeikis this weekend. The other forthcoming originals include Julia Roberts-starrer The Last Thing He Told Me, Rose Byrne’s ‘80s set aerobics drama Physical, Brie Larson-led Lessons In Chemistry, and more.

Yeah, that was my first thought.Not sure who you could get to play Melanie Griffith.
YES.I saw this in a full theater on a rare 35mm print. The audience ricocheted between hysterical laughter and stunned silence all night. It is truly a *cheff kiss* masterpiece of WTF so-bad-it’s-good cinema.
You are a gentleman of impeccable taste.
But I don’t want any of these women to be mauled by lions!
I legit stopped to stare at the screen when I got to ‘Rose Byrne’s 80s set aerobic drama’.
Yeah, there’s a lot that’s… strangely intriguing about that one.
So Alison Brie and some tired old biddies.
The Beatdown Biddies, ideally.
I was already intrigued, and then I saw Merritt Wever’s name buried at the bottom…now I might actually have to get an Apple TV subscription.
Now I miss GLOW again.
