The Mirror reports that Wood will play Morecambe's mother Sadie in the BBC Two show.
The programme focuses on the duo's early career as they struggled to gain mainstream success.
The script has been penned by Desperate Romantics and Occupation writer Peter Bowker. The BBC has not yet cast the parts of Morecambe and Wise.
BBC Two controller Janice Hadlow also revealed plans to air new four-part drama The Crimson Petal And The White, a "sexually charged" story about Victorian prostitution.
Hadlow said: "Strongly authored dramas, whether adaptation or original writing, are absolutely key to the creation of BBC Two's confident new voice."
