The cast includes two Oscar winners: Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren, and two Oscar nominees: Toni Collette, and Andrea Riseborough.
Kate Winslet and her co-star in this film Helen Mirren competed against each other at The 79th Annual Academy Awards (2007) in the Best Lead Actress category when Mirren was nominated for The Queen (2006), and Winslet for Little Children (2006); Mirren won.
This film marks both the directorial debut by Kate Winslet and the screenwriting debut of Joe Anders. In real life, they are mother and son.
Joe Anders wrote the screenplay at the age of 19 when he attended a screenwriting course at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, England. His tutor encouraged him to write about something that he knew, so he wrote the screenplay for 'Goodbye June' inspired by the death of his maternal grandmother, Sally, from ovarian cancer in 2017, when he was 13 years old.
Kate Winslet helped produce the film and signed up to play the character Julia, but when the time came to find a director, she realized she wanted to take on that role too. "I suddenly couldn't let it go. I said to (Joe Anders), 'Look, I would love to direct it,'" she explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on November 18, 2025. "Because when you give it to a director, it becomes theirs - which is exactly the right thing that should happen - but I didn't want that for him. I wanted him to remain a part of it, I wanted him to experience seeing this beautiful thing that he'd created come to life."
