Jennette McCurdy‘s life and words are headed to Apple TV+.

The streaming service announced on Tuesday that they have scored a series inspired by the iCarly and Sam & Cat alum’s memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died. Released in 2022, McCurdy’s book remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for over 80 weeks. According to Simon & Schuster’s website, over 3 million copies of the memoir have sold.

The series will also feature a familiar face for the streamer. Jennifer Aniston, who currently leads The Morning Show on Apple TV+, is set to both executive produce the series and star as McCurdy’s mother.

In a press release from Apple TV+, McCurdy’s memoir is described as “a heartbreaking and hilarious recounting of [her] struggles as a former child actor while dealing with her overbearing, domineering mother.”

“The dramedy will center on the the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid’s show, and her narcissistic mother who relishes in her identity as ‘a starlet’s mother,’ set to be played by Aniston,” the press release details.

Other executive producers on the 10-episode series include McCurdy and Ari Katcher (who also serve as writers and showrunners), Bad Sisters creator Sharon Horgan and Stacy Greenberg for Merman; Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara for LuckyChap; Jerrod Carmichael, and Erica Kay.

McCurdy opened up further about the abusive and traumatic relationship she had with her mother on the press tour for her book, reading a startling email she received from her calling her “a little slut” and “a floozy” on Red Table Talk, and recalling the moment she learned that the father she grew up with was not her biological father on The Drew Barrymore Show. In her book, McCurdy also looked back on the stresses and competition involved in child fame, and confessed to being “jealous” of her Sam & Cat co-star Ariana Grande, who at the time was a “burgeoning pop star.”
