Aimee Lou Wood and Nabhaan Rizwaan lead BBC Three's new romantic comedy-drama.
Today BBC Three has released a number of first look images from their upcoming romantic comedy-drama Film Club, which marks the screenwriting debut from actors Aimee Lou Wood and Ralph Davis.
For Evie, played by Aimee Lou Wood, 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, played by Nabhaan Rizwaan.
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 promises to be 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.
The new pictures released today show us Aimee Lou Wood as Evie alongside Nabhaan Rizwaan as Noa, Suranne Jones as Suz, Evie’s eccentric and unconventional mother, and Liv Hill as Evie’s sister, Izzie.
Film Club also stars Adam Long as Evie’s boyfriend Josh, Arian Nik and Fola Evans Akingbola as Film Club members Kam and Samantha and Owen Cooper as Evie’s annoying neighbour Callum. With co-creator Ralph Davis starring as Film Club’s newest member, Dominic.
Co-created and written by Aimee Lou Wood and Ralph Davis, with Anna Jordan joining the writing team for episode four, the series is produced by Gaumont UK with the support of ZDFneo in Germany. It's produced by Stella Merz, directed by Catherine Morshead and executive produced by Alison Jackson, Jamie Jackson and Aimee Lou Wood for Gaumont, and Nawfal Faizullah for the BBC.
Film Club starts later this year on BBC Three
