Apple TV+ ha anunciado una nueva serie que estará basada en I’m Glad My Mom Died (Me alegro de que mi madre haya muerto), las memorias de la ex actriz infantil Jennette McCurdy. Y, ojo, porque también se ha desvelado que Jennifer Aniston protagonizará la producción interpretando a la madre de McCurdy.

La autobiografía I’m Glad My Mom Died, publicada el 9 de agosto de 2022, se mantuvo más de 80 semanas en la lista de libros más vendidos del New York Times. En sus páginas, McCurdy, a la que muchos recordaréis por su papel de Sam en la serie iCarly de Nickelodeon y en el spin-off Sam & Cat, junto a Ariana Grande (Wicked), ofrece un testimonio tan desgarrador como hilarante sobre su experiencia como actriz infantil.

La comedia dramática,...

Jennifer Aniston has been flying high after the success of the Emmy, SAG, and Critics Choice Award-winning show The Morning Show. It is well-known that the show is based on Brian Stelter’s 2013 book called Top of the Morning. Now, she is in charge of adapting another book- the No. 1 New York Times bestselling memoir called I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy.

Aniston will star and executive produce the dramedy that will cover McCurdy’s life as a child star under her domineering mother, Debra. Reportedly, Debra did everything possible to keep her daughter as small as possible so that she could keep getting kid’s roles even as she grew older. So, what else is known about this hit book and what does it mean for the star’s presence on The Morning Show? Apple TV+ has released more information about the cast and crew of the upcoming show.

Bella Ramsey is on the run again: The star of HBO’s The Last of Us has joined the cast of Maya, a new drama series for the UK’s Channel 4, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Ramsey will star alongside Daisy Haggard (Breeders, Episodes), who also created the series and will make her directorial debut. Haggard will play Anna, with Ramsey as her teenage daughter Maya, with the two of them forced to enter witness protection and relocate to a rural Scottish town.

Jennette McCurdy is best known for her role on Nickelodeon’s iCarly...

Friends icon Jennifer Aniston has been in high demand since she first hit the scene in the sitcom phenomenon and has consistently ranked high on the list of the highest-paid actresses. While she has many roles that stand out, her most beloved, and the one that gave her worldwide recognition, is Rachel from the hit '90s series Friends. That role really solidified her spot as one of the best in Hollywood, and her decades-long career has over one hundred award nominations. In 2019, she added Apple TV+'s The Morning Showto her list of credits, starring in and serving as executive producer. While the popular drama series is still thriving, Aniston has now signed on to appear in another series on the streamer inspired by iCarly star Jennette McCurdy's memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died.

According to Variety, Apple TV+ has given the series a ten-episode order, and in...

While we're all still sat here patiently waiting for The Morning Show Season 4 to finally hit Apple TV+ on 17 September, it looks like its star, Jennifer Aniston, is already lining up her next project to star in and produce at the streamer — and to call it a change of pace for the Friends icon would be an understatement to say the least. Per Deadline, Apple has just greenlit I'm Glad My Mom Died, a 10-episode dramedy inspired by child star-turned-writer Jennette McCurdy's astonishing, New York Times bestselling memoir — and Aniston is set to play, well, the mom.

Written, executive produced, and showrun by McCurdy alongside On The Count Of Three scribe Ari Katcher, I'm Glad My Mom Died sees the former iCarly starlet recount her experiences as a child actor not only contending with coming of age in the media spotlight, but coming of age under the shadow of a domineering mother.

Jennifer Aniston is gearing up for one of her most emotionally complex roles yet, taking on the part of a controlling, narcissistic mother in a new Apple TV+ series, I’m Glad My Mom Died, based on Jennette McCurdy’s heartbreaking and darkly funny memoir. The streaming platform has officially greenlit the project with a 10-episode order.

The upcoming series will explore the painful and complicated relationship between McCurdy, the former child actress who rose to fame on Nickelodeon’s iCarly, and her abusive, domineering mother, played by Aniston. The show will delve into the codependent relationship at the heart of McCurdy’s life — capturing both the emotional weight and biting humor that made the 2022 memoir a bestseller.

A celebrity memoir that gripped pop culture with its honesty and vulnerability is coming to the small screen with a series adaptation. Apple TV+ announced on July 1, 2025 that I'm Glad My Mom Died, based on the best-selling book by former child star Jennette McCurdy, received the green light for a series adaption. The upcoming dramedy series also has a massive talent attached to star.

Jennifer Aniston set for I'm Glad My Mom Died on Apple TV+

That's right, Friends and The Morning Show star Jennifer Aniston joined I'm Glad My Mom Died as the titular mother character. McCurdy isn't expected to appear in the series, as she retired from acting and has focused on writing and filmmaking. The author will write the series and executive produce and co-showrun along with Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show's Ari Katcher.

In a press release, Apple TV+ describes the synopsis for the 10-episode dramedy:

"I...

Everyone uniquely processes grief. No one can tell you how to react, how long to mourn, or when to move on. While some choose to bury the pain, others use their conflicting emotions as a creative outlet, choosing to create instead of caving in. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, author Jennette McCurdy experiences several stages of distress while contemplating the passing of her narcissistic mother. According to Deadline, Apple TV+ will adapt McCurdy’s darkly comedic memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died, with Jennifer Aniston playing the motherly role.

Deadline notes that Aniston currently stars in and executive produces The Morning Show alongside Reese Witherspoon. The Morning Show is greenlit through Season 4, leaving a question mark for Aniston’s continued participation. Thankfully, Aniston’s role in the adaptation of McCurdy’s memoir should not affect her Morning Show duties, even if a fifth season comes to bear,...

Jeanette McCurdy’s 2022 memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died, which chronicles the abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother and as a child star on shows like Nickelodeon’s iCarly, is being adapted into a 10-episode Apple+ series starring Jennifer Aniston.

And even though McCurdy hasn’t acted in years and declined to participate in the 2021 iCarly reboot, she will write and produce the series along with Ramy/The Carmichael Show producer Ari Katcher. Aniston will also serve as a producer.

I’m Glad My Mom Died...

After six years, Jennifer Aniston is starring in her first new television show since Apple TV+'s The Morning Show. Jennifer Aniston is best known for playing Rachel Green in Friends. She has only starred in one other TV show, The Morning Show, since the ending of Friends in 2004. While The Morning Show season 4 is confirmed, Aniston is now focusing on a new project.

"I'm Glad My Mom Died" chronicles McCurdy's struggles as a child actor on iCarly and her mother's narcissism.

Jennifer Aniston, alongside starring in the upcoming adaptation of "I'm Glad My Mom Died," will also executive produce the show.

Keep reading to find out more…

Here’s the logline: The series will follow the “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.’”

Deadline adds that filming will not impact Jennifer‘s participation in The Morning Show‘s fifth season, should it be renewed.

Jennette McCurdy’s widely acclaimed memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died” will receive a series adaptation from Apple TV+. The 10-episode dramedy will star Jennifer Aniston in a role modeled after McCurdy’s mother.

In “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” McCurdy shares the story of the emotional and psychological trauma she endured as a result of her mother, Debra McCurdy, and a figure she refers to only as “The Creator” — widely believed to be Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider. McCurdy relays her battles with eating disorders and underage alcohol use.

Apple TV+ describes the series as “heartbreaking and hilarious,” matching the tragicomedic tone of McCurdy’s writing. After releasing in Aug. 2022, McCurdy’s memoir landed on the New York Times Best Seller list for more than 80 weeks. According to Rolling Stone, the book sold out at major retailers upon release.

Jennifer Aniston leads “I’m Glad My Mom Died...

Jennifer Aniston will expand her Apple TV+ empire with an adaptation of Jennette McCurdy’s memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died.”

Aniston, currently at Apple TV+ with “The Morning Show,” will star in and executive produce a 10-episode series inspired by the memoir, with McCurdy as the co-showrunner.

Former Nickelodeon child actress McCurdy starred in “Sam and Cat” opposite Ariana Grande, as well as “iCarly,” among other series. Her 2022 book became a bestseller and detailed the abuse she endured at the hands of her mother, Debbie, who died in 2013 of cancer. McCurdy also alleged that a Nickelodeon “creator” frequently supplied children with alcohol and requested massages from child actors. McCurdy claimed that she was offered $300,000 in “hush money” to not come forward about the abuse; she declined the payment.

The Apple TV+ adaptation hails from a who’s who of acclaimed creators: Along with McCurdy, Ari Katcher (“Ramy,” “Jerrod Carmichael...

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.'”

McCurdy previously starred in shows like “iCarly” at Nickelodeon and made appearances in numerous other TV series and films. She published “I’m Glad My Mom Died” in 2022 with Simon & Shuster, with the book quickly topping the New York Times best seller list and remaining on the list for over a year.

Apple TV+ has greenlighted I’m Glad My Mom Died, a dramedy inspired by Jennette McCurdy’s bestselling memoir of the same name with Jennifer Aniston set to star and executive produce.

The casting inevitably brings up questions about the future of Aniston’s popular Apple TV+ drama series The Morning Show, which she also stars in and executive produces. The Morning Show is currently picked up through Season 4, which is set to premiere Sept. 17. Aniston’s involvement in I’m Glad My Mom Died will not impact her ability to continue to star alongside Reese Witherspoon should The Morning Show get a fifth season — which I hear is fully expected.

Hailing from Apple Studios, the 10-episode I’m Glad My Mom Died is written, executive produced, and showrun by child actor-turned-writer McCurdy and Ari Katcher.

The child star influencer reckoning isn't coming soon: it's already here. From the trials and tribulations of kids who grew up in the spotlight — from the stars of "Dance Moms" and "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" to viral rapper Lil Tay — to the crimes and tragedies surrounding self-described family friendly clans like the Duggars and the Frankes, the danger of turning kids into on-camera profit machines is by now well documented. But as Netflix's new docuseries "Bad Influence" proves, there are still plenty of "kidfluencer" stories that deserve a spotlight — and some of the kids are finally old enough to tell their own side of the story.

"Bad Influence," which carries the subtitle "The Dark Side of Kidfluencing," dropped on the streamer on April 9, 2025 and has quickly climbed up the streaming charts. According to viewership data aggregate site Flixpatrol, it's currently the second most-watched TV show on the streamer,...

Benedict Cumberbatch Abduction Near Death(Photo Credit –Wikimedia)

Before his Marvel fame and Sherlock stardom, Benedict Cumberbatch faced a nightmare most wouldn’t dare envision. Back in 2004, while filming in South Africa, the Hollywood star found himself in a life-or-death situation. And his mind went to some terrifying places.

“I was really worried that I was going to get raped or molested or just tortured or toyed with in some way, some act of control and savagery,” he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

The English star wasn’t overstating. The location was KwaZulu-Natal, a treacherous region north of Durban. Cumberbatch and his co-stars, Theo Landey and Denise Black, were returning from a scuba diving weekend when catastrophe struck. A tire burst on a dark, cold stretch of road. While they scrambled to fix it, they were jumped by armed men.

But hardly anyone knew that filming such a light-hearted Nickelodeon show involved a lot of jealousy behind the cameras. In her raw and revealing memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died, McCurdy opened up about the complicated emotions she experienced during the shooting, as she vividly described her growing jealousy and resentment toward Grande.

The cracks begin to show early on, as McCurdy noticed a stark contrast in how the two actresses were treated. While she was expected to be present and available at all times, McCurdy claims Grande was frequently allowed to miss filming to attend award shows, record music, and promote her growing career.

The entertainment industry chews up and spits out child stars like they're tough pieces of jerky (look at how "iCarly" actor Jennette McCurdy disappeared from Hollywood for instance). Resultantly, it's surprising when these young prodigies survive Tinsel Town's subliminal hit jobs and go on to have successful careers as adults. Jenna Ortega is one of the few who made it in this regard. She cut her teeth on everything from the soapie "Days of Our Lives" to the it-must-have-been-a-fever-dream "Richie Rich" series on Netflix. Then, she ascended to the lead in Disney's "Stuck in the Middle" and an important supporting role in season 2 of the I'm-certain-it's-a-"Gossip Girl"-prequel "You."

For Ortega, her acting career has only been on a meteoric rise, as she continues to grow in popularity and feature in bigger TV shows and movies, such as "Wednesday" and "Scream." But how do we determine and rank her best projects?...

Pictures: Nickelodeon

Three Nickelodeon shows are getting a mix-up on Netflix (in the US). Two fan-favorites are getting an older season re-added, while another show is set to leave entirely.

iCarly, starring Miranda Cosgrove and Jennette McCurdy, has now been back on Netflix in 2021, although it got a season shakeup in 2023. The same also applies to Henry Danger getting a similar shake-up with the caveat that Netflix also bagged the rights to the follow-up series, Danger Force. Much like NCIS, which lost its earlier seasons and was later re-added, that’s now happening with these two Nickelodeon shows with the first season of each coming back.

These early seasons are scheduled to touchdown on Netflix (in the United States) on March 31st, 2025. Even with season 1 returning, Netflix will still be missing some seasons.

For Henry Danger, Netflix will stream seasons 1, 4, and 5, while seasons 2 and 3 will only be available on Paramount+ for the foreseeable future.

For anyone growing up in the 2000s, Jennette McCurdy was a big part of their childhood. She played Sam Puckett, a rough and tumble girl with a spunky attitude, on the Nickelodeon sitcom "iCarly." The high-energy, candy-colored show follows a group of teenagers who find fame on a prank web series. "iCarly" ran from 2007 to 2012 and was followed by the spin-off and "Victorious" crossover, "Sam & Cat," where McCurdy starred alongside Ariana Grande (now an Oscar nominee for her role in the movie adaptation of "Wicked") as the series' namesakes. Their characters were like oil and vinegar, with Sam's toughness rubbing up against Cat's sweet, ditzy nature. The series was short-lived, though, and only ran from 2013 to 2014.

In 2021, "iCarly" was resurrected on Paramount+. The revival ran for three seasons and focused on an adult Carly, now a neurotic 20-something and social media influencer. Critics were keen on the reboot, with...

The Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious is getting a spinoff series featuring one original star. The news comes after the original show ended its run on Nickelodeon 12 years ago.

Originally, Victorious ran for four seasons between 2010 and 2013. Per Deadline, it now has a second spinoff in development with Daniella Monet set to reprise her role as Trina Vega. The project is in development under the working title Hollywood Arts, which could end up changing. Casting is now said to be underway to find co-stars for Monet, and as of now, no other cast members from Victorious are reported as being involved. It would seem that special appearances are not out of the question, but nothing is confirmed.

“Victorious” has another spinoff in the works, with Daniella Monet set to reprise her role as Trina Vega in a multi-cam Nickelodeon comedy with the working title “Hollywood Arts,” Variety has confirmed.

The series, which is in development and has not yet been greenlit, will follow Trina as she returns to her old stomping grounds to teach students at the fictional Los Angeles performing arts high school. It would mark the second spinoff of “Victorious,” following “Sam & Cat,” starring Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande.

Casting is underway for the spinoff, and it’s unclear whether any other “Victorious” stars — including Victoria Justice — will reprise their roles in “Hollywood Arts.”

Monet, who starred in all four seasons of “Victorious” as the older sister to Justice’s Tori Vega, will executive produce the spinoff alongside Jake Farrow (who was a writer-producer on “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat”) and Samantha Martin.

Exclusive: The Victorious universe is eying further expansion with a second spinoff series, Hollywood Arts (working title). Starring Daniella Monet, who will reprise her role as Trina Vega, the multi-camera comedy is in fast-track development at Nickelodeon, with early casting getting underway, sources tell Deadline.

Produced by Nickelodeon, Hollywood Arts follows Trina returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood’s most elite performing arts school.

Monet serves as an executive producer alongside writers/executive producers Jake Farrow — who was a writer-producer on both Victorious and offshoot Sam & Cat and also voiced Robbie’s puppet Rex Powers on Victorious — and Samantha Martin (Nick’s Henry Danger and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder).

Victorious creator Dan Schneider, who parted ways with Nickelodeon in 2018, has no involvement in the spinoff. His Nick tenure has been under scrutiny, including in the docuseries Quiet On Set whose producers he is suing for defamation.

Nickelodeon has been a staple of children's television since the late 1970s, with iconic cartoons and live-action shows that have entertained kids and teens for generations. And with these live-action shows, many teen actors started their careers in the industry. Shows like Clarissa Explains It All or iCarly have earned a place in fans' hearts, and some of these actors became incredibly successful afterward.

While a few of these actors have struggled to find success after their time on Nickelodeon, others have thrived in the industry. These celebrities who have managed to achieve new levels of fame are easily recognizable. Some may have forged a different path outside of Nickelodeon, making a name for themselves within the music industry or with talented work behind the scenes.

Though the story of the Bad Sisters on Apple TV+ may be over following the Season 2 finale on Christmas Day, creator Sharon Horgan is already working on another project.

During an interview for Bustle’s “One Nightstand,” Horgan revealed her hopes to bring an adaptation of Vladimir by Julia May Jonas to the screen. Jonas sought out Horgan.

“I was making Bad Sisters and had no headspace whatsoever, and Julia hadn’t written a screenplay before… so it was sent to me as a sort of, ‘Is this something we could do together?’” Horgan told Bustle. “And I was like, ‘No, no, no, I just don’t have time.’ Then they said, ‘Just read the first chapter.’ So I read the first chapter and then I just made time.”

Miranda Cosgrove has assured fans that iCarly won't be ending on a cliffhanger. Despite reviving the Nickelodeon series in 2020, Paramount+ canceled the show after just three seasons - right after hinting at a reveal of Carly's mother.

The original show ran for 6 seasons between 2007 and 2012, and followed the antics of Carly Shay (Cosgrove), Freddie Benson (Nathan Cress) and Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) as they hosted a popular web show. The reboot takes place 10 years after the original series, catering to iCarly's now-grown audience by exploring more mature themes and incorporating less of a slapstick-driven sense of humor. The revival followed Carly as she reunited with Freddie and her brother, Spencer (Jerry Trainor), to relaunch their web show.

Miranda Cosgrove just revealed there’s more to come in the world of “iCarly” a year after the reboot was cancelled.

“So, I’m not allowed to 100 percent confirm anything yet, but I think the fans of the show are going to be super excited because we have something in the works,” the actress shared during a Tuesday guest appearance on “The Talk.”

When CBS co-host Natalie Morales asked if the follow-up would be centered on her character and if “old favorites” would be back, Cosgrove immediately said, “Yes!” However, while the actress did not say if this installment will be a movie … she did smile and play coy.

“We actually ended the revival on a cliffhanger and we’re going to wrap that up,” she noted.
