<\/p>\nOne of the main stars of Sex Education has landed a major role for a BBC comedy show, only three months after the end of the hit Netflix series.<\/p>\n
Aimee Lou Wood shot to stardom playing the much-loved Aimee Gibbs – which storyline came to an end when the last and fourth season of the show dropped in September.<\/p>\n
The actress, 29, became a fan’s favourite playing in the comedy-drama series alongside X-Files sensation Gillian Anderson, Doctor Who’s leading star Ncuti Gatwa, and Barbie actress Emma Mackey.<\/p>\n
But as her role naturally made its course, Aimee seems to be booked and busy as she already landed a role in a new BBC comedy series.<\/p>\n
The Living star joined the cast of the six-part show called Daddy Issues – where she will play a party-loving Gemma, who gets pregnant after joining the mile high club following\u00a0a random hook-up on her way back from a holiday to Portugal.<\/p>\n

As things get hard, Gemma turns to the\u00a0only person left in her life: her dad Malcolm (played by David Morrissey), who despite of having a kind heart – is kind of useless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Malcolm is unable to load a washing machine, boil an egg or deal with a technology issue – as he keeps\u00a0<\/span>suffering from the collapse of his family and lives in a bedsit for divorced men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As the father-daughter duo join forces during their unlucky vicissitudes, Malcolm moves in Gemma’s flat.<\/span><\/p>\n The ‘genuinely laugh out loud sitcom’ – created from the same team behind White Gold and Inbetweeners – is told to be\u00a0a ‘classic odd couple comedy about two funny, deeply flawed characters, who just happen to be father and daughter’, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n It promises to bring on screens from dating disasters to failed romances, from toxic friendships to messy family dynamics, finishing with a ‘dangerously sociopathic antenatal teacher’.<\/p>\n Filming has already began, as the actress told about her leading role:\u00a0‘It had been a very long time since a script had made me laugh out loud. Danielle’s did exactly that.<\/p>\n ‘Then when I heard David was involved, I was even more excited. He’s someone I have admired throughout my life.’\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Watching shows like Blackpool and Red Riding when I was younger fuelled my interest in acting and so it feels surreal and amazing to be working with someone I class as a legend and inspiration,’ she added.<\/p>\n The actress, 29, became a fan’s favourite playing in the comedy-drama series alongside X-Files sensation Gillian Anderson, Doctor Who’s leading star Ncuti Gatwa, and Barbie actress Emma Mackey (pictured with Emma and Asa Butterfield)<\/p>\n She played the role of caring, kind and witty Aimee\u00a0<\/p>\n The Walking Dead star David, 59, who plays Gemma’s on screen inept dad, said: ‘I’m delighted to be working with Aimee Lou Wood as she’s someone I’ve admired for a while now.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Long Shadow actor gushed over his co-stars: ‘She’s a truly unique and gifted talent. Danielle has crafted such a funny and heartfelt piece and I’m so excited to be part of it.’<\/p>\n Danielle Ward, who has written the whole show, said proudly:\u00a0‘I cannot wait for the world to meet Gemma and Malcolm, and I’m so grateful to the BBC for finally giving me my own series, 20 years after I lost the BBC New Comedy Awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Aimee and David were my dream casting from the get-go and who ever gets their dream cast? It’s a total thrill to be working with such naturally funny and wildly talented actors.’<\/p>\n The Walking dead star David Morrissey, 59, will play Aimee’s on screen inept dad Michael –\u00a0is unable to load a washing machine, boil an egg or deal with a technology issue, as he keeps suffering from the collapse of his family and lives in a bedsit for divorced men (pictured this month)<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/11\/19\/78836293-0-The_actress_29_became_a_fan_s_favourite_playing_in_the_comedy_dr-m-40_1702324590515.jpg\")
