Australian Drama Wakefield to Premiere on ABC iview

The eight-part drama Wakefield is being released on ABC iview to binge from April 2, two weeks ahead of its linear premiere.

After years of working as a psych nurse at Wakefield, Nik Katira (Rudi Dharmalingam) is exceptionally good at his job. With a gift for soothing the afflicted and reaching the unreachable, he’s the most stable person in what tends to be a pretty crazy place. But right now, his grip on his own sanity is slipping. The question is…why?

Produced by Jungle Entertainment, Wakefield will air weekly on ABC in Australia from April 18 at 8:30 p.m.

ABC’s director of entertainment and specialist, Michael Carrington, said: “We’re thrilled audiences will be able to stream all episodes of this utterly compelling new Australian drama on ABC iview. Audiences love our dramas and we’re committed to making it easier for all Australians to consume our content when they want, where they want it. Wakefield’s intriguing storylines, dynamic characters and brilliant performances promise to leave audiences enthralled.”
