New images from the upcoming BBC romantic comedy-drama Film Club show Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education) in her screenwriting debut. Co-created and co-written with Ralph Davis, the series will air on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three later this year.
Here’s What Happened: The BBC released the first promotional pictures from Film Club. The photos feature Aimee Lou Wood as Evie and Nabhaan Rizwan as her best friend, Noa. The series is set around their weekly film club, held in Evie’s mum’s garage. The pictures show a strong supporting cast, including Suranne Jones as Evie’s mum, Suz, and Liv Hill as Evie’s sister, Izzie.
What This Means Now: The series explores the friendship between Evie and Noa, particularly as Noa prepares to move away for a new job. The images show the close, and potentially romantic, relationship between Evie and Noa. The story sees Evie having not left the house for six months. The supporting cast includes Adam Long, Arian Nik, Fola Evans Akingbola, Ralph Davis, and Owen Cooper.
The Bigger Picture: Film Club represents a significant step for Aimee Lou Wood, moving into writing and co-creating alongside her acting career. The six-part, 30-minute episode series, produced by Gaumont, has recently completed filming in Manchester.
