The White Lotus, Season 3 (2025)
In this popular anthology drama, Wood plays Chelsea, a dreamy, love-seeking woman on vacation in Thailand. Her character balances romantic illusion and existential questions, a role that expands her range beyond comedy.
Sex Education (2019-2023)
The role that made her name known worldwide: Aimee Gibbs. In Sex Education, she doesn't shy away from awkwardness, vulnerability, or drama. She shows that humor and pain often go hand in hand.
Film Club (2025)
A fresh, personal series that Wood co-wrote and leads. She plays Evie, a woman who hasn't left her house in months and finds her only escape in a weekly film club. When her best friend announces he's moving away, she has to confront her feelings.
Daddy Issues (2024)
A comedy with an unexpected twist: Wood plays Gemma, a young woman who unexpectedly has to house her divorced father. The series blends humor with relational tension, showing Wood in a different light than her previous dramatic or romantic work.
Alice & Jack (2024)
In this romantic drama series, Wood plays Maya, a supporting figure in a story exploring love, distance, and recurring connections. Her role isn't the central plot driver, but her presence adds emotional nuance, a subtle but important contribution within an ensemble cast.
Toxic Town (2025)
In this miniseries about the Corby toxic waste scandal, Wood plays Tracey Taylor. The series examines the human side of environmental damage, politics, and negligence. It's one of her most serious roles to date: here she must not only play emotions, but dive into societal layers as well.
Seize Them! (2024)
In this historical comedy, Wood plays Queen Dagan in a medieval story full of absurdity and humor. The film plays with cliches and satire, showing Wood is comfortable in an era far removed from her Sex Education days. She's energetic, playful, and dares to carry a role that's visually and tonally far from the everyday.
