Sex Education star Aimee Lou Wood is officially a leading lady and is backed up by an all-star cast in Daddy Issues.

The new BBC Three comedy sees the team behind The Inbetweeners look into a new way of coming-of-age with a complicated father-daughter duo.

Aimee Lou plays Gemma, with The Walking Dead and Sherwood star David Morrissey playing her father, Malcolm.

The official synopsis reads: “When hedonistic 24-year-old Gemma discovers she’s pregnant after a random hook-up, she has no choice but to turn to her hapless father Malcolm for support.

“Recently divorced from Gemma’s mother (who made off with their joint savings to ‘Eat Pray Love’ her way around the world), Malcolm is unable to load a washing machine, boil an egg or microwave rice without it exploding.

“Up until now, he’s been living in squalor with fellow divorcee Derek but when Gemma’s own flatmate decides to move out, the combination of financial desperation and a desire to not be totally alone makes her resort to the unthinkable: she asks her dad to move in with her. Because what’s the worst that could happen…?”

Joining them in the cast is Sharon Rooney (My Mad Fat Diary), Sarah Hadland (Miranda), Taj Atwal (Line Of Duty), Arian Nik (Count Abdulla), Tom Stourton (Stath Lets Flats), Susan Lynch (Sex Education) and Susannah Fielding (This Time with Alan Partridge).

Lauren O’Rourke (Henpocalypse), Cyril Nri (Death in Paradise), Cora Kirk (Grantchester), Perry Fitzgerald (Line of Duty), Claire Keelan (The Trip), Damien Molony (Brassic), Sherrie Hewson (Benidorm), Humphrey Ker (Welcome to Wrexham) and David Reed (Ghosts) round out the cast.

Daddy Issues is yet to be given a release date.
