From sex ed to unexpected pregnancy: Aimee Lou Wood’s new role in ‘Daddy Issues’ is about to shake up your summer TV lineup.

Aimee Lou Wood is back on our screens, and this time she’s trading school halls for baby bumps. The BAFTA winner from Sex Education is diving into a new comedy, Daddy Issues, where she plays Gemma, a party girl whose life takes a wild turn with an unexpected plus sign.

But wait, it gets better. Gemma ends up living with her dad, Malcolm (played by the legendary David Morrissey), who’s just as clueless as she is. Picture this: a pregnant daughter and a newly divorced dad, both trying to figure out life under one roof. Chaos? Guaranteed.

Set in Stockport, this six-episode rollercoaster promises to serve up laughs and feels in equal measure. Wood’s psyched about the script, calling it a laugh riot, and she’s pumped to work with Morrissey.

Mark your calendars for August 15 - that’s when Daddy Issues hits BBC Three and iPlayer. Expect dating fails, quirky characters, and a whole lot of heart. Trust us, this is the summer binge you didn’t know you needed.
