Netflix today revealed first look photos from Oscar-winning actor Kate Winslet’s (The Reader, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) directorial debut, Goodbye June, which she also stars in. The drama will first premiere in select theaters on December 12 before streaming on Netflix on December 24.
The cast also includes Toni Collette (Hereditary, The Staircase), Johnny Flynn (Ripley, Emma.), Andrea Riseborough (Lee, To Leslie), Timothy Spall (Wolf Hall, Mr. Turner), Helen Mirren (MobLand, The Queen), Stephen Merchant (The Outlaws, Jojo Rabbit), Fisayo Akinade (Foundation, Heartstopper), Jeremy Swift (Ted Lasso, Downton Abbey), and Raza Jaffrey (The Serpent Queen, Lost in Space).
The logline for Goodbye June reads, “It’s nearly Christmas when an unexpected turn in their mother’s health thrusts four adult siblings, and their exasperating father, into chaos as they navigate messy family dynamics in the face of potential loss. But their quick-witted mother, June, orchestrates her decline on her own terms – with biting humor, blunt honesty, and a lot of love.”
Winslet also produces the film with Kate Solomon whom she worked with on Lee, and Joe Anders wrote the script.
