New TV Series Wakefield has started filming around Sydney

We’ve got a handful of people already lined up for the filming of Wakefield even though filming has only just commenced. Wakefield is an eight part series filming around Sydney in the Blue mountains and the Southern Highlands. It’s being made by the awesome team at Jungle Entertainment (Mr InBetween, No Activity, A Moody Christmas) with backing from the ABC and BBC.

“Wakefield explores the fine line between sanity and madness, with humour and heart.  Delving into the hidden world of the psychiatric hospital, this highly original series created by Kristen Dunphy, will be compelling television viewing”

The cast for the series is fantastic too and reads like a who’s who of Australian comedy. Here’s hoping there are some more roles for MCTV people in the Wakefield psychiatric hospital over the coming months. For more info see Screen Australia.
