While some of the things that Alanis Morissette has experienced in her career seem like no laughing matter, she’s teaming with ABC to develop a comedy based on her life, Deadline reports.
Alanis is serving as an executive producer for the show, which called Relatable, and she’ll also write original music for it. The show focuses on a 40-something married woman with three kids who spent her early years as a rock star famous for her “anthems of female rage and teen angst” — sound like anyone you know? The comedy will apparently arise from her inability to get her children to listen to her.
The characters, according to Deadline, are “fictional and non-biographical,” though Alanis’ life will “loosely inform” the show.
A documentary on Alanis will also air later this month on HBO, though the singer has publicly denounced the film.
