Jennifer Aniston will executive produce and star in a new Apple TV+ series inspired by Jennette McCurdy’s 2022 memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” the streaming service announced July 1.
The 10-episode dramedy will be adapted by McCurdy, who will also executive produce and act as a showrunner alongside Ari Katcher (“Ramy,” “Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show”).
The former “iCarly” star’s memoir details her struggles as a child actor in the mid-2000s while living with her abusive mother.
Though McCurdy portrayed the spirited and wisecracking Sam Puckett on “iCarly,” her life behind the scenes was dominated by debilitating anxiety and a strained relationship with her mother, who forced her into show business, according to her memoir.
The TV adaptation of the book “will center on 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, the streaming service said.
