Apple TV+ today announced they have landed a new dramedy series starring and executive produced by Jennifer Aniston (The Morning Show), and inspired by I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette McCurdy’s No. 1 New York Times bestseller memoir.
The 10-episode series is written, executive produced, and showrun by Jennette McCurdy and Ari Katcher (Ramy, Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show).
I’m Glad My Mom Died is a heartbreaking and hilarious recounting of Jennette McCurdy’s struggles as a former child actor while dealing with her overbearing, domineering mother. The dramedy will center on the the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid’s show, and her narcissistic mother who relishes in her identity as “a starlet’s mother,” set to be played by Aniston.
Hailing from Apple Studios, the project is executive produced by McCurdy and Katcher, Aniston via Echo Films; Sharon Horgan and Stacy Greenberg for Merman (Bad Sisters, Catastrophe), Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara for LuckyChap; Jerrod Carmichael (Ramy, Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show) and Erica Kay (Fosse/Verdon, Pose).
Published on August 9, 2022 by Simon & Shuster, McCurdy’s memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died reached more than 80 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list.
