Jennifer Aniston cast in streaming adaptation of I'm Glad My Mom Died
Former child star Jennette McCurdy is adapting her blistering memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died, into a 10-episode streaming series at Apple. Jennifer Aniston has joined the production in the mother role, who has been described in the official logline as 'overbearing' and 'domineering'. McCurdy's book, published in 2022, detailed her life as a child actor from the time she was six years old, starring on shows such as iCarly and Sam & Cat. It's a raw account of the travails her mother put her through, including 'calorie restriction' and makeovers, as well as control of her emails, diaries and income, leading to anxiety, disordered eating and addiction. When her mother died from cancer in 2013, McCurdy said she was able to start to heal from the years of abuse and trauma. Her book, which uses dark humour to explore these heavy themes, topped The New York Times bestseller list. The series sounds like it may not be a direct adaptation, more 'inspired by'. McCurdy will write, executive produce and showrun the production with Ari Katcher, who has worked on Ramy and the Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. Aniston will also be an executive producer through her production company, Echo Films, alongside Sharon Horgan and Stacy Greenberg through Merman. Margot Robbie's banner, LuckyChap, is also involved, with her partners Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara as well as Dani Gorin listed as executive producers. Aniston may be able to draw from her own experiences growing up in a showbiz family. Both her parents were actors – her mother, Nancy Dow, had roles on The Wild Wild West and The Beverly Hillbillies, while her father, John Aniston, was on Days of Our Lives for almost four decades. Her parents divorced when she was a child, and she has spoken before about having had a destabilised upbringing. She was, at different points, estranged from her parents, but reconciled with them before their deaths.
