Ruth Negga has been cast opposite Schitt's Creek star Dan Levy in Good Grief - a Netflix film that Levy has written and will also direct and produce.
The Hollywood Reporter says the cast for Levy's feature directorial debut also includes Himesh Patel (EastEnders), Luke Evans (Nine Perfect Strangers) and Celia Imrie (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel).
The synopsis for Good Grief reads: "Marc Dreyfus chose to distract himself from the loss of his mom 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."
"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," said Levy, who previously directed episodes of Schitt's Creek.
"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."
Ethiopian-Irish star Negga was last seen in her BAFTA-nominated role in the racial drama Passing - available on Netflix.
