Jennifer Garner has pulled out of the long-in-the-works limited series “My Glory Was I Had Such Friends” at Bad Robot, Warner Bros. TV and the Apple TV+ service.
Due to the “Alias” star’s exit, which is said to be due to scheduling reasons, the streamer has opted to abandon the project, which received a straight-to-series order in 2018. The series follows an extraordinary group of women who supported another woman as she waited for a second life-saving heart transplant.
It has taken long enough to get off the ground that Garner has already committed to another Apple TV+ limited series, the currently filming “The Last Thing He Told Me,” based on Laura Dave’s novel.
Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television are reportedly high enough on ‘My Glory’, which is based on the 2017 book by Amy Silverstein, that they intend to seek another home for it. A small writers room has been working on additional scripts, with plans being to have multiple scripts ready to present to potential buyers.
It marks the latest Bad Robot project stuck in development and ultimately ditched by its home following HBO’s scrapping of the expensive “Demimonde” and “Overlook” projects. The company still has the new adaptation of “Presumed Innocent” in the works at Apple, along with a live-action “Speed Racer” series.
