The pic reps filmmaker Baena’s reteam with Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza and Molly Shannon, who star in the film.

From show creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch (GLOW), the Apple TV+ eight-episode anthology series Roar tells standalone stories that feature ordinary women in unexpected, unique and different circumstances, spanning a variety of genres. In “The Woman Who Solved Her Own Murder,” we learn from the murder victim herself (Alison Brie), what led to the end of her life.

During a 1-on-1 interview with Collider, Brie talked about how strongly she responds to the unique voice in the work of Flahive and Mensch, why she got so excited about this project, the experience of playing a character who couldn’t directly interact with anyone, getting closure in a 30-minute story, getting a bit of a mini-GLOW reunion, and the heartbreak of not being able to finish telling that story the way that they’d planned and hoped. She also talked about her love for the movie Clue, and getting to work with some of the film’s cast on Community.

Alison Brie is among the all-star cast of the new Apple TV+ series Roar, from GLOW creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch. Alison’s episode, titled The Girl Who Solved Her Own Murder, reunites her with one of her GLOW co-stars, Chris Lowell. Alison spoke EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife about the GLOW reunion after the beloved show’s cancellation.

Check out a great interview with Consequence that Alison Brie recently did to promote the new series Roar!

Alison Brie‘s resume is packed with notable roles, from her breakout performance as Trudy Campbell, Pete Campbell’s spirited and long-suffering wife on Mad Men, her charming six-season run on Community as plucky and eager Annie Edison, and voice work in BoJack Horseman and The LEGO Movie. But as she tells Consequence, perhaps the most seismic project of her career was in GLOW, the Netflix comedy which fictionalized the creation of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling promotion from the 1980s.

In the series, created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, Brie played Ruth Wilder, one of the operation’s founding wrestlers and creative influences, in a series that met with its share of behind-the-scenes controversies with regard to its treatment of people of color, but was unabashedly feminist in its storytelling.

The new Apple TV+ series Roar reunites Brie with Flahive and Mensch, as she leads one episode of the anthology series they created based on Cecelia Ahern’s book. In “The Woman Who Solved Her Own Murder,” Brie stars in the titular role, a dead woman who’s still able to interact (Patrick Swayze-in-Ghost style) with the real world while the circumstances of her own death are under investigation.

In the one-on-one interview with Consequence, transcribed and edited for clarity, Brie explains what she enjoyed about the process of figuring out how to interact with the real world as a dead person, while also revealing how working with Flahive and Mensch has had a real impact on her career since the beginnings of GLOW — and well into the future.
