War of the Rosesis filled to the brim with a creative team who are beyond excited to catch somecheatersand deliver their stories on an animated platform. In a statement paired with our exclusive sneak peek, the project’s helmer, Kevin Sharpley, said:
“There’s a reason why War Of The Roses is a #1 hit radio show, the deception, psychological warfare, betrayal and drama taps into a zeitgeist that connects indelibly with the listeners and fans of the show. The host Hollywood Hamilton and his co-host Maria are at once the catalysts and the ringmasters of the fire and ice that is the nexus of the show. That’s what I wanted to tap into, with a cinematic animated approach, and I feel we’ve created an anthology of mini-dramas that are dark, funny, cheeky, chaotic, visceral, and brutally honest, that encapsulate what War Of The Roses is all about. it’s animated anarchy!”
Serving as the heartbeat of the project, music supervisor, Jason P. Rothberg, added,
“This series is more than just an adaptation… it’s proof of what’s possible when iconic audio content meets cutting‑edge animation and the genesis of what ABoot Studios is all about. It’s been a privilege to partner with iHeartRadio, our amazing creative team, and the up‑and‑coming talent from Canadore College to build something that feels bold, modern, and, frankly, a little bit addictive.”
