One of the year’s most unexpected remakes, “The Roses,” arrives this week. The new comedy is a star-studded take on its 1989 parent film, one that pits two of Britain’s most esteemed living actors against each other in an entertaining, debauched 1-v-1 war. The catch? The feuding characters at the center of “The Roses” also just so happen to be each other’s spouses.
Here is how, when and where you can watch “The Roses.”
When does “The Roses” come out?

Who is in the film’s cast?
Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Power of the Dog”) and Olivia Colman (“The Favourite”) headline the ensemble cast of “The Roses.” They are joined in the film by former “SNL” stars Andy Samberg (“Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping”) and Kate McKinnon (“Barbie”), as well as Allison Janney (“I, Tonya”), Ncuti Gatwa (“Doctor Who”), Jamie Demetriou (“Fleabag”), Zoë Chao (“The Afterparty”), Sunita Mani (“Mr. Robot”) and Belinda Bromilow (“The Great”).
What is “The Roses” about?
Written by “Poor Things” and “The Great” screenwriter Tony McNamara, “The Roses” is a remake of the 1989 classic film “The War of the Roses.” It follows a well-to-do husband (Cumberbatch) and wife (Colman) whose competitive tendencies and long-simmering resentments eventually boil over, destroying their shared façade of a picture-perfect life as they engage each other in a spiteful, no-holds-barred emotional, professional and psychological battle.
