It\u2019s going to be pretty great to start shooting it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of her young costar, Aniston added, \u201cThe fact that she\u2019s the young woman that she is, having lived that life, is nothing short of remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCurdy, 33, whose mother <strong>Debra<\/strong> died in 2013, published her memoir <em>I\u2019m Glad My Mom Died<\/em> in 2022. The book almost immediately topped the bestseller list, due in part to the author\u2019s no holds barred peek into Jennette\u2019s life with Debra.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s something I mean sincerely,\u201d Jennette told <em>BuzzFeed News<\/em> in August 2022 about the title of the book. \u201cI\u2019m genuinely glad. If she were alive, I\u2019d still be trapped. Every important decision in my life wouldn\u2019t have been possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apple TV+ ordered a first season of a TV adaptation of the book in July 2025. The 10-episode season will be written, executive produced and showrun by Jennette and <strong>Ari Katcher<\/strong>. Aniston, Sharon Horgan and Merman, LuckyChap, <strong>Jerrod Carmichael<\/strong> and <strong>Erica Kay<\/strong> serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4137838\" style=\"width: 900px;\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:80%;\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n Jennette McCurdy<\/span> <span class=\"credit\">Paul Archuleta\/FilmMagic<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In 2022, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/jennette-mccurdys-family-supports-im-glad-my-mom-died-book\/\">Jennette told <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> that her family members supported the title of the book and its release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy brothers have been so supportive, so understanding,\u201d she told the outlet, before adding that her siblings were \u201cnot at all\u201d thrown off by the choice. \u201cThey get the title, to put it simply. It was also a title that I knew I wanted early on.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Jennette continued, \u201cI wanted something that was bold and also something that I meant sincerely. I would never use a bold and attention-grabbing title if it weren\u2019t authentic. I would never do it if it were just coming from a flippant place. That\u2019s not my approach to humor. I knew that anybody who had experienced parental abuse would understand the title, and anybody who had a sense of humor would understand the title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>iCarly<\/em> star added that she spent significant time in therapy before penning the memoir.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely laughed a ton while writing; I cried while writing,\u201d she explained. \u201cBecause I\u2019ve done so much of the work privately and for myself initially, I do think I was at a place where I was able to kind of discern what aspects of my life are legitimately entertaining and worth people reading about, and what aspects of my life are not entertaining. I think I waited the appropriate amount of time in my processing before approaching this in any sort of a creative way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.usmagazine.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer Aniston has a strong bond with I\u2019m Glad My Mom Died costar and author Jennette McCurdy. \u201cWe have a lot in common,\u201d Aniston, 56, told People in an interview published on Friday, October 17. \u201cWe had very similar moms.\u201d Aniston recalled the moment McCurdy\u2019s book and the adapted TV series were both brought to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2102571,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25177],"tags":[22367,31500,24003,21913],"class_list":["post-2102570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrities","tag-celebrity","tag-celebrity-kids","tag-celebrity-news","tag-tv"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Jennifer-Aniston-Says-She-and-Jeanette-McCurdy-Had-Very-Similar.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2102570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2102570"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2102570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2102572,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2102570\/revisions\/2102572"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2102571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2102570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2102570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2102570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
