Teenagers Amelia (Charithra Chandran) and Archie (Sebastian Croft) have been best friends since childhood. Archie has always been there to fight Amelia’s battles and laugh at her jokes all whilst keeping his lifelong love for her a secret. Just when he builds up the courage to declare his feelings, Amelia falls head over heels for Billy Walsh (Tanner Buchanan), the new American transfer student. Heartbroken Archie goes to great lengths to try and keep Amelia and Billy away from each other but ends up pushing them closer together and risks losing his best friend in the process.

Sebastian Croft who plays Archie said, “I'm thrilled that audiences will get to see ‘How To Date Billy Walsh'. The process of bringing this uniquely British rom-com to life has been an incredible journey, and I'm eager to see it bring the same level of joy into people's homes that we experienced whilst making the movie.”

It is produced by Matt Williams (‘Save The Cinema) with co-producer Neil Jones (‘The Colour Room') both of Future Artists Entertainment. Executive producers include Piers Tempest (‘Military Wives'), Merlin Merton and Sebastian Street (‘Tomorrow').
