Jennifer Aniston is set to star in a series inspired by Jennette McCurdy’s memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died” at Apple TV+, Variety has learned.

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 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.’”

Stephen King’s The Running Man published under his pseudonym Richard Bachman, first arrived in book stores in 1982. His dystopian tale about a world with a collapsing economy and an abundance of violence then came to the big screen in a 1987 adaptation starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

Now director Edgar Wright is ready to introduce a new generation to King’s deadly gameshow. And the first explosive trailer for his star-studded take on The Running Man puts Glen Powell’s Ben Richards into a reality series we’re not sure anyone can actually survive.
