Australian Comedy “Wellmania” Premieres March 29 on Netflix, Official Trailer

Liv will try anything to get out of Sydney and back to New York, from colonics to cupping. Wellmania, starring Celeste Barber, will premiere this March on Netflix.

Celeste Barber stars as Liv, a gourmet writer and human whirlwind who faces a serious health problem that makes her question her ‘live fast, die young’ philosophy in this comedy drama.

After landing a dream job in the United States that would have catapulted her into the mainstream, Liv is forced to stay in Australia because of her health and cannot return to the country unless she improves it.

Liv is so set on getting well that she tries everything from the conventional to the outlandish in her pursuit of a speedy recovery so that she can resume her normal life.

It is hoped that through following Liv’s ups and downs on her path to better health, viewers will feel more connected to her and be motivated to make positive changes in their own lives.

The book Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness by novelist and journalist Brigid Delaney served as inspiration for the eight-part series that Delaney co-created with Benjamin Law.

Cast: Celeste Barber, JJ Fong, Genevieve Mooy, Lachlan Buchanan, Remy Hii, Alexander Hodge, Simone Kessell, Virginie Laverdure, Johnny Carr.

Produced by Fremantle Australia, Celeste Barber and Warren Clarke (The Heights) are Wellmania’s Executive Producers. Bree-Anne Sykes (Here Out West) will serve as Producer. Benjamin Law (The Family Law) and Belinda King (Cleopatra in Space) are co-Executive Producers. Romina Accurso (Class of ‘07) is Script Producer and writer, Rachel Laverty (Home and Away) is Script Editor and writer, and Nick Coyle (Sarah’s Channel) and Amy Stewart (Hardball) will serve as writers.

Airdate: March 29, 2023 on Netflix.
