Aniston to Star in Jennette McCurdy Memoir Series

Apple TV+ is adapting Jennette McCurdy's best-selling 2022 memoir, 'I'm Glad My Mom Died,' into a dramedy series starring Jennifer Aniston as McCurdy's late, abusive mother. Aniston will also executive produce the series, while McCurdy, who quit acting after her roles on Nickelodeon's 'iCarly' and 'Sam & Cat,' will co-write and serve as showrunner alongside Ari Katcher. The show will explore the codependent and tumultuous relationship between a young actress and her narcissistic mother, reflecting McCurdy's real experiences with emotional and psychological abuse. The memoir resonated with readers for its candid discussion of parental abuse, eating disorders, and McCurdy's recovery following her mother's death in 2013. McCurdy has publicly credited therapy for helping her address past trauma and defended the memoir's provocative title as authentic. This marks another major Apple TV+ project for Aniston, following her acclaimed work on 'The Morning Show.'
