Inspired by the wildly popular iHeartRadio segment, War of the Roses is a darkly comedic, emotionally charged animated adaptation of the original radio series, reimagined for a new generation. The show dives headfirst into the tangled mess of modern relationships — where trust is fragile, infidelity lurks in the shadows, and loyalty is often tested live on the air.
Each episode follows a new couple caught in a web of suspicion, as one partner reaches out to famed radio host Sean “Hollywood” Hamilton to investigate their significant other’s behavior. What begins as a routine “roses test” — offering a free bouquet to see who their partner chooses to send them to — quickly unravels into a raw and sometimes outrageous expose of deception, miscommunication, and heartbreak.
Bringing the original audio to life, the animated series adds rich visual storytelling and dynamic world-building to the drama unfolding on air. From apartment interiors to late-night stakeouts and unexpected public confrontations, each environment is uniquely crafted to match the emotional arc of the episode — enhancing the tension, absurdity, and human vulnerability at the core of every story.
The show blends the emotional intensity of true-crime storytelling with stylized animation and irreverent humor, offering a voyeuristic peek into the private lives of strangers while holding up a mirror to the complicated ways we love, lie, and seek connection. As each episode reveals a different relationship dynamic — from the tragic to the absurd — War of the Roses invites audiences to ask: how far would you go to uncover the truth?
Anchored by a killer soundtrack featuring indie and internationally renowned music artists, and enhanced by immersive Spatial Audio design from VAUDEVILLE Sound, the series pushes the boundaries of traditional animation and podcast adaptation. Bold, fresh, and unapologetically entertaining, War of the Roses is a relationship autopsy... with bite.
