DESCRIPTION:
(from Apple's press release, July 2025) Today, Apple TV+ announced it will expand its award-winning original series slate with a new dramedy starring and executive produced by Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe Award winner Jennifer Aniston ("The Morning Show"), and inspired by "I'm Glad My Mom Died," Jennette McCurdy's unflinching No. 1 New York Times bestselling memoir of the same name. The 10-episode series is written, executive produced and showrun by McCurdy and Ari Katcher ("Ramy," "Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show"). "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 center 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.
