Starring BAFTA winners Aimee Lou Wood and Suranne Jones plus Emmy winner Owen Cooper
Coming to BINGE October 27
BINGE today released the official trailer for FILM CLUB, a heart-warming new romantic comedy-drama series premiering October 27 on BINGE with all six episodes dropping at once.
Starring Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education, The White Lotus), Suranne Jones (Gentleman Jack, Vigil), Owen Cooper (Adolescence) and Nabhaan Rizwan (Station Eleven), FILM CLUB is a witty and emotional story about love, friendship, and family – exploring whether we should follow our hearts or our heads, and what it truly means to be in love with a friend.
The series follows Evie (Wood) who hasn’t left her house in six months following a “wobble.” Her only escape is her beloved film club in her mum’s garage, where she creates magical movie worlds with best friend Noa (Rizwan). But when Noa announces life-changing news, Evie must face the possibility that they might be more than just friends.
FILM CLUB, made by Gaumont (Obsession, Locked In, The Wives, Lupin, Narcos), marks the highly anticipated screenwriting debut of Aimee Lou Wood and Ralph Davis (House of the Dragon, Big Boys, Othello), bringing fresh, bold storytelling to the small screen.
Also joining the cast are Arian Nik (Daddy Issues, Passenger) and Fola Evans-Akingbola (The Night Agent, Back In Action) as film club members Kam and Samantha, with co-creator Ralph Davis stepping in as the club’s newest member, Dominic. Lisa McGrillis (Rivals, Sex Education) plays Steph, Suz’s friend and neighbour.
FILM CLUB was commissioned by Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, and Fiona Campbell, Controller Youth Audience, BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. It is co-created and written by Aimee Lou Wood and Ralph Davis, with Anna Jordan (One Day, Killing Eve) joining the writing team for episode four. The series is produced by Gaumont UK with the support of ZDFneo in Germany. Stella Merz (Gentleman Jack) and Hannah Pescod (The Lovers) are producers, and Catherine Morshead (Daddy Issues, The Full Monty) directs the series. Executive producers are Alison Jackson, Jamie Jackson, and Aimee Lou Wood for Gaumont, and Nawfal Faizullah for the BBC. International sales will be handled by Fremantle.
