The book followed McCurdy’s complicated relationship with her mother, who according to McCurdy, pressured her to start acting and enabled and praised unhealthy habits related to eating and working. Though the book’s title ruffled some feathers, McCurdy’s account of childhood fame and emotional abuse sparked wider conversations about child actors and parental abuse. Now, Apple TV+ has announced a 10-episode series adapted from the memoir, which Jennifer Aniston will executive produce and star in. This collaboration furthers Aniston’s partnership with Apple TV+, as she currently executive produces and stars in a popular drama for the streamer, The Morning Show, which will embark on its fourth season in September. “Apple has given the show a 10-episode order. The official logline for the series states that it is a ‘heartbreaking and hilarious recounting of Jennette McCurdy’s struggles as a former child actor while dealing with her overbearing, domineering mother (Aniston). The dramedy will center on 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.’”Read more at Variety Frameline49 Wraps Up, Winners Announced The 2025 edition of the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival a.k.a.
