She has played Aimee in Sex Education since its first season.
Speaking to Heart.co.uk about season three ahead of its release, Aimee said: "We can expect a lot of growth from all the characters. We really want it to feel like you’re seeing your old friends again, but you’re going to see new facets of those old friends.
"Everyone’s kind of really growing up and I think a lot of that is to do with this new headteacher who has brought this completely opposing ethos to Moordale, and the students in the wake of that are figuring out a lot about shame and kind of learning how to embrace their individually when someone is trying to stifle it."
Who is Aimee Lou Wood's boyfriend?
Aimee previously dated her Sex Education co-star, Connor Swindells, but the pair have now split up.
Opening up to Grazia about the split, she said: "We’d had some time apart and then we realised that maybe the relationship wasn’t serving us both.
"We still really love each other and respect each other. It was an okay breakup, it wasn’t dramatic."
