How to Date Billy Walsh is a lighthearted, fun British romantic comedy starring Sebastian Croft (Game of Thrones), Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton), and Tanner Buchanan (Cobra Kai, Game Changers). It debuted on April 5, 2024 on Amazon Prime Video.

The movie follows childhood friends Archibald "Archie" Arnold and Amelia "Milly" Elizabeth Brown. Archie has always been in love with Amelia but has kept it a secret. Just when he finally has the courage to tell her the truth and reveal his feelings, Amelia falls for the new handsome heartthrob American transfer student Billy Walsh. Billy is extremely popular and the captain of both the swim and rugby teams; he is everything Archie is not. Now, Archie must do whatever it takes to prove that he is the guy for Amelia.

When Archie pretends to be a "Love Doctor" to win over Amelia's affections, he deliberately sabotages her with bad advice to ruin her burgeoning relationship with Billy. However, Amelia does not know that the Love Doctor and Archie are one and the same. Things get further complicated when Amelia realizes she does have feelings for Archie, however his deception may ruin his one shot at happiness with Amelia.
