BBC's 6-part rom-com drama with Adolescence star is the perfect autumn binge

Rom-com fans, listen up! The BBC has dropped a first look at its upcoming romance drama Film Club, starring Aimee Lou Wood, Nabhaan Rizwan, Suranne Jones and Adolescence’s Owen Cooper – and it looks like the ultimate autumn binge-watch. Written by Aimee Lou Wood (Daddy Issues, Sex Education, The White Lotus) and Ralph Davis (House of the Dragon, Big Boys, Othello), Film Club follows Evie, a film fanatic who watches movies every Friday evening with her best friends to escape the realities of daily life.

Having seen a sneak peek of the new series, I can safely say this is a must-watch for rom-com lovers. Not only is it penned by the fantastic Aimee Lou Wood and Ralph Davis, but it also features Adolescence star Owen Cooper – and Suranne Jones is brilliant as Aimee’s on-screen mother, Suz. Intrigued? Read on to find out everything you need to know about the new series.

Film Club is set to air on Tuesday 7 October, with all episodes on BBC iPlayer from 6am and the first two episodes airing on BBC Three at 10pm that evening.
