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.
