In a fascinating turn of events, the world of Apple TV+ is set to intertwine with the realm of iPhone, as they bring together a miniseries adaptation of Jennette McCurdy’s critically acclaimed memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died”. This heartfelt story will see Jennifer Aniston stepping into the role of the titular character, a deceased mother, while also serving as producer.
Jennette McCurdy gained fame as Sam Puckett on the beloved Nickelodeon shows “iCarly” and “Sam & Cat”. Her memoir paints a poignant picture of her complex relationship with an abusive mother during her time as a child star. The upcoming series, comprising ten episodes, will be penned, executive produced, and showrun by McCurdy and Ari Katcher, who frequently collaborate with Jerrod Carmichael.
Carmichael, Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap, Sharon Horgan’s Merman, and Erica Kay are also slated to produce this gripping tale. This isn’t the first time Aniston has partnered with Apple TV+, having previously collaborated on “The Morning Show”.
At the close of her book “I’m Glad My Mom Died”, McCurdy expresses gratitude to someone named “Ari” for their unending love, support, and encouragement, stating “I love you so much. You’re my best friend. I’m so glad we’re a team. We’ve got each other.” It’s worth mentioning that throughout the book, McCurdy consistently refers to her co-star from “Sam & Cat”, Ariana Grande, as Ariana. Consequently, it seems unlikely that these thanks are directed towards Grande. Additionally, in the first episode of her podcast “Empty Inside” (which has since been removed from all podcast apps), she also calls someone named “Ari” her boyfriend.
In the upcoming project, no other actors have been officially announced to participate. Since the story is set during her 18th year, it seems unlikely that the actress, currently aged 33, would portray herself in it. However, she has expressed interest in returning to acting only if it’s a project she writes herself. As we know, Benito Skinner successfully played a college student at 31, so who knows? Maybe something similar could happen here!
