Jennette McCurdy Memoir Series Casts Jennifer Aniston
This just in: Jennette McCurdy's 2022 memoir, titled I'm Glad My Mom Died, is getting an onscreen adaptation of sorts.
Apple TV+ revealed this week that Apple Studios is producing a new 10-episode series inspired by Jennette's book, which was released in 2022.
The upcoming series has been described as a 'dramedy' that 'will centre on the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kids' show, and her narcissistic mother,' who is set to be played by none other than Jennifer Aniston.
In case you need a quick refresher, Jennette's memoir, which bagged the top spot on the New York Times bestseller list upon its release, was incredibly shocking and heartbreaking.
Jennette shot to fame as a child actor, starring in popular Nickelodeon series iCarly and Sam and Cat. Her book chronicled her experience in the spotlight at such a young age, detailing her experience with addiction and disordered eating, as well as — as the title suggests — her complicated past relationship with her late mother, Debra McCurdy.
You can find a more detailed breakdown of Jennette's memoir here, and we'll keep you posted as more details on the new series unfold.
