Alanis Morissette’s Life to Become ABC Comedy ‘Relatable’
Alanis Morissette’s life is going to be the foundation for an ABC comedy. The Disney-backed broadcast network has inked a script deal for Relatable, a single-camera comedy inspired by the family life of the Grammy-winning Jagged Little Pill singer-songwriter. Relatable follows a 40-something woman, married with three kids, who spent her young adult life as an international rock star, famous for her self-penned anthems of female rage and teen angst. Now the “voice of her generation,” though deeply bonded with her family, can’t quite get the next generation living in her house to listen to her. ABC notes that Morissette’s life will inform the writing and stories, though all the characters are fictional and non-biographical. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates O...
