Cast in Place for Aussie Drama The Wrong Girl

SYDNEY: Network Ten has announced the cast for its new contemporary drama The Wrong Girl, which begins shooting today in Melbourne.

Based on the best-selling novel by Zoë Foster Blake, The Wrong Girl will feature Jessica Marais, the star of TV hits such as Packed to the Rafters, Love Child and Carlotta, as Lily, the producer of a cooking segment on a morning television show who finds herself torn between two very different men. Marais is joined by Craig McLachlan (The Doctor Blake Mysteries, Packed to the Rafters), Kerry Armstrong (Bed of Roses, Lantana), Madeleine West (Fat Tony & Co., Satisfaction), Hamish Blake (a comedian, author and actor) and Christie Whelan Browne (Spin Out, Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door).

Ian Meadows (The Moodys, 8MMM) will star as Pete Barnett, Lily’s conflicted best friend. Rob Collins, who played Mufasa in the Australian stage production of The Lion King, will portray Jack Winters, the television chef who might just capture Lily’s heart. Newcomer Hayley Magnus (The Dressmaker, Slide) will play Simone, Lily’s flat-mate.

The Wrong Girl will air on TEN in 2016.
