Apple launched Apple TV+ with the flashy drama The Morning Show, starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. With the debut drama about to enter its fourth season in September, Apple is doubling down on Aniston’s star power.

The streamer announced that Aniston will headline a new ten-part dramedy, entitled ‘I’m Glad My Mom Died’, based off the bestselling memoir by former iCarly star Jennette McCurdy, recounting her experiences growing up as a child actor and her complicated relationship with her controlling mother.

In the series, Aniston is set to play the role of McCurdy’s mother. The actress who will portray the eighteen-year-old McCurdy has not yet been cast. The show will revolve around the precarious relationship of child actor and overbearing mother.

McCurdy is deeply involved in the TV adaptation. She will produce and serve as showrunner alongside Ari Katcher. Apple Studios will produce, alongside Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters) and others.

As the series is yet to enter production, it is unlikely to premiere until late 2026 or 2027.

Before that, Aniston will headline in season four of The Morning Show, which hits Apple TV+ on September 17, 2025. The Morning Show remains one of Apple’s most watched series, and include a near endless cast list of high-profile Hollywood talent. Season four features new additions including Jeremy Irons and Marion Cotillard.
