We’re getting an Alias reunion! Although the former ABC series is not coming back, Apple has nabbed a new limited series from the creator of Alias, J.J. Abrams, and it will reunite him with its star, Jennifer Garner.
Apple has given a series order to My Glory Was I Had Such Friends, a one-hour limited drama based on the 2017 memoir of the same name by Amy Silverstein. The story showcases the power of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit as it follows an extraordinary group of women who supported Silverstein as she waited for a second life-saving heart transplant. The series will star and be executive produced by Garner and by Abrams via his Bad Robot Productions banner.
Back in the day, Abrams famously fought to get Garner to be the star of his cult ABC action drama series Alias after she had appeared on his first series, Felicity, which he had co-created with Matt Reeves. Both went on to have big movie careers but remained close and have been hinting at working together again.
The series will expand Apple’s relationship with Abrams and Bad Robot, who also have half-hour romantic dramedy Little Voice, from the Waitress duo of Sara Bareilles and Jessie Nelson which also received a straight to series order at the streamer.
