00:07The star and executive producer of The Morning Show will lead another Apple TV Plus series inspired by McCurdy's best-selling memoir.
00:15Former iCarly star McCurdy's book details the relationship she had with her abusive mother and the road to recovery she took following her mother's death in 2013.
00:24I'm Glad My Mom Died became an instant bestseller after it was published in 2022.
00:30The series is described as a dramedy that will center on the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid's show and her narcissistic mom who relishes in her identity as a starlet's mother.
00:42Aniston will play the mother.
00:44McCurdy will serve as a co-showrunner and Aniston is also an executive producer.
00:48McCurdy previously told The Hollywood Reporter soon after the book was released,
00:52I've been so touched by how much the emotional thrust of the story has connected with people, which I see as being my relationship with my mom.
00:59That's an important and complicated relational dynamic to explore, and to see that people are responding to it has been amazing.
