Roar is Apple TV+'s newest series, an eight-part anthology that puts a spotlight on stories of women and their experiences.
Based on Cecelia Ahern's short-story collection of the same name and created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, the creative minds behind Netflix's series Glow, the show is a testament to womanhood.
And the limited series has an incredible cast to back it up, with each episode in the series featuring a different A-list star.
Here is everything you need to know about the cast of each episode.

The top billed cast members in Roar are Nicole Kidman, Cynthia Erivo, Merritt Wever, Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Meera Syal, Fivel Stewart, Kara Hayward, and Issa Rae.
The titles for each episode make their respective plots seem pretty self-explanatory, but the stories are described as "darkly comic feminist fables."

The show's second episode, "The Woman Who Ate Photographs," stars Kidman as the eponymous character, and she is also joined by Simon Baker, Judy Davis, and Ellodee Carpenter.

"The Woman Who Found Bite Marks on Her Skin" is the series' fourth episode and it stars Erivo in the title role, and she is joined by Jake Johnson and Jordyn Weitz.
Episode 5 is titled "The Woman Who Was Fed By A Duck" and it features
Wever as the aforementioned character, and she is joined in the cast by Jason Mantzoukas amongst others.
The show's sixth episode is called "The Woman Who Solved Her Own Murder" and it sees Brie do just that in the title role, and she stars opposite Hugh Dancy and Christopher Lowell.
Episode 7 is titled "The Woman Who Returned Her Husband" with Syal taking on the main part, and she appears in the episode alongside Bernard White, Peter Facinelli, and Gregg Binkley.
