Dustin Hoffman, Candice Bergen, Olivia Thirbly, and The Big Bang Theory castmate Simon Helberg are set to star.

Bialik wrote the screenplay, which according to Deadline is about a “successful divorced mother of two who rekindles love in her life amidst the crazy antics of her dysfunctional family. Now she attempts to convince the stubborn, and comically unfortunate family members to hold it together while they embrace one final farewell.”

Set to produce are Anne Clements (Stage Mother), Ash Christian (After Everything), and Clay Epstein from Film Mode Entertainment.

“It is an incredible honor and a writer and director’s dream come true to work with actors I’ve respected and adored my entire life. I cannot wait to see what we can create together,” Bialik said.

Her first film, As Sick As They Made Us, will be based on the script she wrote herself, and it will tell the complex story of a divorced mother who’s struggling to help her estranged brother visit their dying father.

This project is extremely personal for the Emmy-nominated actress and is inspired by her own experiences.

“After my father’s passing four and a half years ago, I decided to explore the complexity of mental illness and familial responsibility – especially as it falls on women – as well as to highlight the redemptive nature of a family’s love as they navigate death and continue to live life on their own terms,” said Mayim Bialik in a statement.

Anne Clements and Ash Christian will be in charge of producing this project, and we’re yet to see who will join the cast.
