While speaking at the premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday, King told PEOPLE why this was such an important project for her to be a part of, saying, “I mean, it was so important to me because of my own background, first of all.”

King says there were “so many days” that were challenging on set, but insisted the cast were there to lift each other up.

“Honestly, there are so many days where we’ve all had our own experiences where it would just be heavy in our hearts, but we’ve really been there to lift each other up and bring levity when we’ve needed it, which has been really wonderful. This cast is fantastic,” the star tells PEOPLE.
