The Roses Is Now Streaming: Cast Lineup, Plot & Where To Watch

Everything you need to know about The Roses.

Ivy and Theo seem to have it all: a loving marriage, high-flying careers, and perfect kids. But once their comfortable status quo starts to shift, the fragile façade of domestic bliss begins crumbling. We're left to witness the aftermath in The Roses. Two beloved British actors lead an ensemble cast as their idyllic family home transforms into a battleground. Yikes! 

What’s The Roses about?

The Roses follows married couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo Rose (Benedict Cumberbatch) as their harmonious life takes a tumble when Theo's career begins to nosedive just as Ivy's takes off. This turning of the tables becomes the catalyst for an increasingly intense domestic cold war. Written by Tony McNamara and directed by Jay Roach, the darkly-witty comedy paints a messy picture of modern relationships.

This new movie is actually a remake of The War of the Roses (1989), based on the novel of the same name by Warren Adler. If you're newly-intrigued or already a fan, check out the special look on Disney+ to get a glimpse into this edgy romantic comedy.
