Jennifer Aniston to Star in Apple TV+ Series Based on Jennette McCurdy Memoir
Jennifer Aniston is adding another big project to her Apple TV+ line-up. Fans already know her as Alex Levy on “The Morning Show.” Now she’s stepping into a very different story. She’ll star in a series based on Jennette McCurdy’s hit memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died.
The book’s title alone grabbed attention when it came out. McCurdy, who many remember as Sam on iCarly, told her story with brutal honesty. She opened up about growing up in the spotlight. About dealing with a mother who wanted to control every piece of her life. And about trying to find freedom as an adult.
What Role Will Jennifer Aniston Play?
In this new series, Aniston plays the mom. The controlling, fame-hungry mom who clings to her daughter’s success. It’s a character people will love to hate. Aniston’s played all kinds of roles, but this one is fresh. It’s messy, sad, funny, and dark — all at once.
Apple describes it as a dramedy. So viewers can expect heavy moments mixed with sharp humor. The show will focus on the twisted bond between the young star and her mom.
How Is Jennette McCurdy Involved?
McCurdy isn’t just handing over her story. She’s deeply involved. She’ll write the series and produce it. She’s even showrunning with Ari Katcher. So her voice will stay true.
Her memoir hit number one on the New York Times list and didn’t budge for over 80 weeks. People connected with her raw honesty. Now they’ll see it play out on screen.
With Aniston attached and McCurdy in control, this one has fans ready. Apple TV+ is betting big that people want more than just glossy fame stories. They want the truth, even when it stings.
