Aimee Lou Wood attended a BBC screening of the upcoming series Film Club in London on Monday, posing for photographs at the Charlotte Street Hotel as the cast and guests gathered to preview the show.

Wood, 31, arrived in a black midi dress with a plunging neckline and completed the look with sheer tights and pointed-toe heels. She was photographed alongside fellow cast members, including Ralph Davis and teenage actor Owen Cooper, who attended in an all-black Nike tracksuit.

Film Club, which is scheduled to stream later this year on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three, is billed as a romantic comedy-drama that follows Evie (played by Wood) and her best friend Noa (portrayed by Davis). The series centers on the pair's regular film nights, a familial household that includes Evie’s single mother Suz and sister Izzie, and the moment the friends must confront the possibility that their relationship could be more than friendship as Noa prepares to move away.

Also on hand was 15-year-old Owen Cooper, whose performance in the recent drama Adolescence brought him widespread attention. In press photographs Cooper stood beside Wood; he is also part of Film Club’s ensemble. Cooper has spoken in interviews about how watching Tom Holland in the disaster drama The Impossible inspired him to pursue acting and has said he dreams of roles such as Spider-Man.

Several other British actors attended the screening. Suranne Jones wore a white shirt paired with a black leather skirt and matching boots. Liv Hill appeared in a purple jumpsuit with an animal-print belt, and Fola Evans-Akingbola chose a white turtleneck, black skirt and pink jacket.

Wood is best known for her role in the Netflix series Sex Education. Outside Film Club, she has roles lined up including a part in the film Anxious People, directed by Marc Forster and adapted from Fredrik Backman’s novel. In that movie Wood plays Grace, described in production notes as a reluctant bank robber, and she will appear opposite Angelina Jolie. Forster previously directed the 2022 adaptation A Man Called Otto and has worked with screenwriter David Magee on earlier projects.

BBC promotional material describes Film Club as a "witty and emotional" story about love, family and the tension between following one’s heart or head. The series will join a slate of British dramas exploring friendships and family relationships as younger performers such as Cooper gain prominence following recent breakout roles.

Representatives for the BBC and the actors did not immediately provide additional comment beyond the screening, and the network has confirmed only that the series will be released later this year on its iPlayer service and on BBC Three.
