America's sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston, will finally return to the small screen in a brand-new series. Beyond Friends and the still-ongoing The Morning Show, Aniston has primarily focused on films such as Marley & Me and The Break-Up, which cemented her status as a leading star. Now, Aniston has chosen to expand her television repertoire with a daring adaptation of Jennette McCurdy’s memoir.

Jennifer Aniston will star in I'm Glad My Mom Died, a 10-episode dramedy adaptation of Jennette McCurdy’s bestselling memoir for Apple TV+. Aniston portrays the narcissistic mother, inspired by Debra McCurdy, bringing her signature depth to a complex character.

Jennette McCurdy is deeply involved as a writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner alongside Ari Katcher. High-profile executive producers include Sharon Horgan, Jerrod Carmichael, and Margot Robbie’s production company, LuckyChap, ensuring that the series maintains a balance between sharp humor and emotional truth.

The series is expected to closely follow the memoir’s heartbreaking and hilarious tone, exploring the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old former child star and her overbearing mother. Fans can anticipate both emotional depth and biting comedic moments with the series confirmed to be in development.

While the series waits, Jennifer Aniston fans still have a buffet of upcoming projects to anticipate.

Jennifer Aniston projects to look forward to

Jennifer Aniston continues to expand her portfolio with several high-profile projects through Echo Films and her ongoing partnership with Apple TV+. Fans can look forward to her return as Alex Levy in The Morning Show Season 5, following the late 2025 premiere of Season 4.

In addition to television, Aniston is producing a modern remake of 9 to 5 for 20th Century Studios. Diablo Cody, the writer of Juno, is scripting the adaptation. While Aniston’s producer role is confirmed, it remains uncertain if she will also appear on-screen.

A contemporary version of The Big Chill is reportedly underway, exploring friends reconvening after a loss, while Aniston has suggested a potential reunion with Jason Bateman, hinting in an interview with PEOPLE at either a third Horrible Bosses installment or a fresh collaborative project. Surely, Aniston has made sure her fans will be well fed this year.
