Bestselling novelist Cecelia Ahern is one of the biggest global phenomena to emerge in the past 15 years.

She is published around the world in nearly 50 countries and has sold 25 million copies of her novels. Two of her books have been adapted as films: PS I Love You and Love, Rosie.

“I’m incredibly honoured to be working with this phenomenal team in bringing Roar from the page to the screen, said Cecelia Ahern.

“The women in this collection have lived and breathed with me for so very long, I’m excited to begin the next journey of amplifying their voices.”

Each story in Roar, according to a publicity blurb, "features a woman exploring a different absurd contradiction or issue in her life – a sometimes comic, always moving look at the guilt, joys, humiliation and triumphs that define the modern woman’s experience, including the private moments when she feels the need to roar."

Ahern will serve as an Executive Producer on Roar alongside Flahive, Mensch, Kidman, Saari, Papandrea, Made Up Stories’ Steve Hutensky, and Park. Papandrea, Kidman and Saari previously teamed to produce last year’s Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning HBO series, Big Little Lies. Kidman and Saari are also actively developing and executive producing The Expatriates.

Feeling inspired by the creators on our just announced project, #ROAR, @Cecelia_Ahern’s forthcoming novel.
