The series will be inspired by the book “I’m Glad My Mom Died”, written by Jennette McCurdy, actress from iCarly. Jennifer Aniston will play Jennette’s mother in the adaptation.
“I’m Glad My Mom Died” tells the story of Jennette McCurdy, known for playing Sam Puckett on iCarly, who suffered psychological abuse from her mother.
The constant abuse led to eating disorders and body image issues. The book was published in 2022 and quickly gained attention due to its controversial title and its heavy story.
According to Apple TV, the adaptation of “I’m Glad My Mom Died” will be a “hilarious and heartbreaking” portrait of McCurdy’s life, which she will co-write with Ari Karcher.
Jennette McCurdy and Karcher will be executive producers and showrunners, while Jennifer Aniston, in addition to starring in the series, will also be an executive producer through Echo Films. The production will bear the Apple TV label.
“I’m Glad My Mom Died” currently does not have a release date.
