iHeartMedia Debuts Animated Series Adaptation of War of the Roses

iHeartMedia has debuted a new animated series, War of the Roses, based on the popular radio show franchise. The series, which premiered on July 24, brings real radio episodes to life through a stylized and edgy animation.

Hosted by show creator Sean “Hollywood” Hamilton and his co-host Marie, the series transforms true stories of cheating and betrayal into short-form visual episodes. It is a partnership between Woody Productions and ABoot Studios, with ABoot Studios also working with students and recent graduates from Canadore College on the production.

War of the Roses is also the first animated series to feature a spatial audio mix, powered by Eclipsa Audio, Google’s open-source spatial platform. This technology, developed in collaboration with Vaudeville, delivers 360-degree soundscapes optimized for headphones and other smart devices. The soundtrack for the series includes a mix of indie artists and globally recognized names such as Sophie Powers, Peter DiStefano (Porno for Pyros), and Dave Krusen (Pearl Jam).
