Jennifer Aniston cast in series ‘I’m glad my mom died,’ adapted from Jennette McCurdy’s memoir

Apple has ordered ten episodes for the show. According to the series' official logline, it is a “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 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.'”McCurdy earlier appeared in a number of other TV series and movies in addition to starring in Nickelodeon shows like "iCarly." "I'm Glad My Mom Died," which she published with Simon & Schuster in 2022, hit the top of the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for more than a year.The series will be written and showrun by McCurdy and Ari Katcher (“Ramy,” “Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show”). Through Echo Films, Aniston will both star and executive produce. Along with Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara for LuckyChap, Jerrod Carmichael and Erica Kay, Sharon Horgan, and Stacy Greenberg serve as executive producers for Merman. Production will be done by Apple Studios.Given that Aniston right now stars in and executive produces Apple TV+'s popular drama "The Morning Show," which is launching its fourth season in September, the role strengthens her relationship with the streaming service.

She has received two acting Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her work on the show.This is also the most recent partnership between Horgan and Apple. The second season of the "Bad Sisters" television series, which Horgan previously developed at Apple, premiered in late 2024.CAA, Jill Fritzo PR, and Hansen, Jacobson are McCurdy's representatives.
