Apple TV+ has today announced a new 10-part series inspired by Jennette McCurdy’s bestselling coming-of-age memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died, with Jennifer Aniston set to star and executive produce.

Written, executive produced and showrun by McCurdy and Ari Katcher I’m Glad My Mom Died is a heartbreaking and hilarious recounting of McCurdy’s struggles as a former child actor while dealing with her overbearing, domineering mother.

The dramedy will centre 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.

Hailing from Apple Studios, the project is executive produced by McCurdy and Katcher, Aniston via Echo Films. Sharon Horgan and Stacy Greenberg for Merman, Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara for LuckyChap, Jerrod Carmichael and Erica Kay.

Published 9th August 2022 by Simon & Schuster, McCurdy’s memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died reached over 80 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list.

I’m Glad My Mom Died will air on Apple TV+
