Apple TV+ Develops a new 10-section Dramedy based on Jennette McCurdy’s best-selling memoir I’m glad my mom diedWith Emmy-award-winning actress Jennifer Aniston Set to the star and executive produce the project. The untitled series, which is currently under development at Apple Studios, draws from McCurdy’s generally talked about 2022 memoir, which chronicles her early rise to fame as a child actor and the deeply complicated, often emotionally counterfeit relationship she had with her convicted mother.
Aniston takes on the role that McCurdy’s mother inspired – a figure shown in the Memoaren as manipulative, controlling, obsessed and consumed by her daughter’s fame. The fictional adaptation will follow an 18-year-old actress at the height of her success on a popular child’s television show, and her strenuous mother who keeps obsessed with the headlights her daughter gives. The adaptation is written and shows by McCurdy together with Ari Catcher, known for his work with “Ramy” and “The Carmichael show “. McCurdy, who went away from acting after her breakout nickelodeon year, also acts as an executive producer on the project.
The role signals a remarkable pivot for Jennifer Aniston, who has received critical praise for his dramatic work on Apple TV +’s “The Morning Show”. According to sources that are familiar with the production, her involvement in the new series will not affect her ongoing commitment to “The Morning Show”, a flagship title for Apple TV+, which returns for her fourth season on September 17 and is generally expected to be renewed for a fifth.
Behind the camera stacks the series an impressive range of executive producers. In addition to Aniston, McCurdy and Katcher, the team of Sharon Horgan and Stacy Greenberg from Merman-Apple’s collaborators about the Bafta-winning bad sisters-like Luckychaps Tom Ackerley, Josey McNamara and Dani Gorin include. Jerrod Carmichael and producer Erica Kay also board the series, which develops during Apple Studios Banner.
Originally published by Simon & Schuster in 2022, McCurdy’s memoir became a cultural flashpoint for its sincere exploration of parental abuse, ambition and identity in the entertainment industry. The book is written with biting humor and emotional clarity and debuted on No. 1 on New York Times Best Seller List and held their place for over 80 weeks. The upcoming series marks McCurdy’s first adaptation of her own work, a significant milestone when she goes entirely into the role of storyteller and showrunner.
