We’ve been adoring the wonderful and innately talented Miss Aimee Lou Wood since her breakout role in the BBC series Sex Education.
Today, the world knows her as that girl from the globally cultural phenom that is The White Lotus—but Aimee’s latest move proves she’s not just a screen presence, she’s a creative force.
Aimee joins BBC Radio 1’s film critic Ali Plumb to spill on her fresh new project: the BBC Three series Film Club, which she co-wrote and stars in. The show follows Evie, an agoraphobic twenty-something who finds solace in weekly movie nights with her best friend Noa. But when Noa announces he’s moving away, the pair must confront the feelings they’ve long buried beneath their shared love of cinema.
In the interview, Aimee reflects on her journey so far, her favorite films, and what cinema means to her personally. She shares how the idea for Film Club was born during lockdown, when movies became her emotional lifeline. The series is a love letter to neurotic, messy people falling in love—not the cool, silent types we often see on screen.
Watch Aimee’s full conversation and behind-the-scenes reflections:
