Jennifer Aniston is set to star in a new Apple TV+ series inspired by Jennette McCurdy’s memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died. The streaming giant has given the series a 10-episode order, which will star Aniston as McCurdy’s “domineering mother.” McCurdy published her memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died in 2022, in which she talks about her life and career as a child actress as well as her psychologically abusive relationship with her mother who passed away in 2013. I’ve read this book and I have to say it’s amazing.
According to a report by Variety’s the series will follow the “heartbreaking and hilarious recounting of Jennette McCurdy’s struggles as a former child actor while dealing with her overbearing, domineering mother (Aniston). 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.’”
