Wonderland (AU) Premiered on Network Ten on August 21, 2013
Wonderland is a warm and engaging relationship drama revolving around four couples at very different stages of life – the star-crossed singles, blissful newlyweds, hot new lovers and long-term marrieds. We join them as they navigate the light-hearted and sometimes painful minefield of love and friendship.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Set in Wonderland, an apartment building on the doorstep of one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches, the residents are an eclectic bunch, but they all have something essential in common: each of them reminds us of someone we know, or even ourselves.
There’s charming bachelor Tom Wilcox (Michael Dorman; Wild Boys, The Secret Life Of Us, Blood Brothers), uptight lawyer Grace Barnes (Brooke Satchwell; Packed To The Rafters, Tripping Over, White Collar Blue), fun and sexy PR princess Dani Varvaris (Jessica Tovey; Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo, Home and Away, Mr & Mrs Murder) and restless wife and teacher Colette Riger (Emma Lung; The Straits, Entourage).
Joining them is banker and Dani’s new husband, Steve Beaumont (Tim Ross; Neighbours, Rush), Colette’s all-round good guy husband Rob Duffy (Ben Mingay; An Officer and a Gentleman, Packed To The Rafters), aspiring photographer, Steve’s sister and Tom’s new flatmate, Miranda Beaumont (WAAPA graduate, newcomer Anna Bamford) and hot Brazilian engineering student Carlos dos Santos (Glenn McMillan; Power Rangers).
Also living in the Wonderland building is Tom’s mum, Maggie Wilcox (Tracy Mann; Sleeping Beauty, Laid, Sweet and Sour) who finds more and more reasons to stay away from the vineyard she shares with husband Warwick (Peter Phelps; Stingers, Rescue Special Ops, Underbelly); and eccentric collector and Grace’s flatmate-to-be Harry Hewitt (Michael Booth; Packed To The Rafters).
While their lives are rarely predictable, there’s one constant that pulls them together – FAT night (Food Appreciation Time). Once a week, they clear their diaries for a fun and fiercely contested cooking competition, with a different person providing their culinary twist on the same dish. FAT night is as much about the conversation as it is about rating each other’s cooking.
But whether it’s the weekly catch up at FAT night or just sharing time in the building and beyond, their emotional lives are a complex matrix: will Tom be able to resist his feelings for Miranda despite a promise to her brother Steve? Will Grace find something deeper with Carlos than a party pash? How will Dani and Steve negotiate the challenges of married life? And just what is going on with Rob and Colette?
There is no better place to be this year than catching up with new friends in Wonderland. The series will leave viewers eager to hang out with their favourite people, hungry for an invite to the next FAT night and yearning to move into the Wonderland building.
Wonderland is a 22-part drama produced by FremantleMedia Australia for Network Ten.
