Netflix announced today the all-star cast of Good Grief, the directorial film debut of four-time Emmy® winner Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek).
Written by Dan Levy, Good Grief marks his debut as a feature director on the film for Netflix.
Levy will also star alongside the top-notch cast assembled for the film, which includes Ruth Negga (Passing, Loving), Himesh Patel (Station Eleven, Yesterday), Luke Evans (Beauty and the Beast, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies), Celia Imrie (Better Things, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), Arnaud Valois (BPM (Beats Per Minute), Spring Blossom), David Bradley (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones), and Jamael Westman (Hamilton, The Essex Serpent).
The film follows Marc Dreyfus, who chose to distract himself from the loss of his mother with a comfortable marriage. But when his husband also dies, unexpectedly, Marc is forced to finally confront the grief he’s tried so hard to avoid, sending him and his two closest friends on a Parisian weekend of self discovery.
Said Dan Levy:
“Good Grief is a cautionary tale about friendship and loss and all the mess that comes with it when the truth is something you’ve evaded for most of your life. It’s funny, it’s bittersweet, it’s a project that has helped me work through my own grief. And I hope it does the same for other people as well.”
Good Grief marks the first project under Levy’s Not A Real Production Company and Netflix’s creative partnership. The film is produced by Not A Real Production Company’s Dan Levy and Megan Zehmer, and Sister’s Stacey Snider, Kate Fenske, and Debra Hayward.
Stay tuned for updates.
