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.
