The book will be published this year in November in the UK through Harper Collins UK. It will be release in the US in April 2019 by Grand Central Publishing.
The co-creators of the Emmy-nominated series GLOW Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch (Orange Is the New Black, Nurse Jackie) have signed on to be the show’s showrunners and are also set to executive produced. Ahern’s Greenlight Go Production Label will be producing the series. Per Saari, Steve Hutensky, Kidman, Papandrea and Ahern will also be Roar‘s executive producers.
Kidman is currently busy with other projects like Big Little Lies Season 2 which she stars and executive produced in.

All of those films are scheduled to be release later this year.
