The logline for “How to Survive Without Me” states, “Logline: In the wake of matriarch Beverly’s (Wilson) passing, the De Angelis family have begun to drift, unsure how to manage their complicated, evolving lives without her guidance, but in true Beverly fashion, she found a way to keep running the show from the beyond. Should they wish to experience Beverly’s final work, the family must find the time — and make the effort — to remain connected and be there for each other through all of life’s challenges yet to come.”
Changaris will play Todd Henderson. Todd is said to be “one of Kate’s (Cuoco) clients, an entertainment lawyer with a golf tan who thinks he’s fun. Todd claims to be happily married but secretly hits on Liz (Schlaepfer).”
