The BBC Releases First-Look Pictures for "Film Club"

The BBC has released first-look pictures for its forthcoming romantic comedy-drama Film Club. The screenwriting debut from two of the UK’s most exciting voices, actors Aimee Lou Wood (Daddy Issues, Sex Education, The White Lotus) and Ralph Davis (House of the Dragon, Big Boys, Othello), Film Club is made by Gaumont (Obsession, Locked In, The Wives, Lupin, Narcos) and will air later this year on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three.

For Evie, Film Club is her weekly escape – a chance to create a world of wonder, deck her mum’s garage out in whatever the movie calls for, and spend a few uninterrupted hours with her best friend Noa. The new pictures give a first look at BAFTA award-winning Aimee Lou Wood as Evie alongside Nabhaan Rizwaan (Kaos, In Camera) as Noa, Suranne Jones (Vigil, Doctor Foster) as Suz, Evie’s eccentric and unconventional mother, and Liv Hill (Three Girls, The Serpent Queen) as Evie’s sister, Izzie.

It’s Friday night. 7pm. Film Club Week 198. Evie hasn’t left the house in six months after a ‘wobble’, and tonight, things are different. Noa’s got big news. A dream job is taking him across the other side of the country, which means that all of this is ending. That reality is hitting. That they’re going to be forced to consider for the first time they might be more than just friends. Neither of them are the best when it comes to emotions, but this time those emotions might be impossible to ignore...

As if life weren’t challenging enough already, Evie is going to be navigating this amongst the eccentricity of her family home - living with her fiercely loving single mum Suz, sister Izzie, and handsome boyfriend/sometime man of the house Josh. Film Club is a witty and emotional show about love and family, about whether we should follow our hearts or heads, and being in love with a friend.

Rounding out the cast for Film Club are Adam Long (Happy Valley, Masters of the Air) as Evie’s boyfriend Josh, Arian Nik (Daddy Issues, Passenger) and Fola Evans Akingbola (The Night Agent, Back In Action) as Film Club members Kam and Samantha respectively, and co-creator Ralph Davis as Film Club’s newest member, Dominic. Owen Cooper (Adolescence, Wuthering Heights) plays Evie’s annoying neighbour Callum.
