Showtime Acquires 'Wakefield' For October Release - Congratulations to Joan Sauers & Xanthe Heubel

Showtime has acquired the ABC / Jungle drama series Wakefield, slated for an October release in America. Congratulations to Cameron’s clients Joan Sauers and Xanthe Heubel, whose writing and costume design is showcased throughout the series.

The eight-episode series, which debuted on the ABC in April, is a psychological drama that shines a comedic light on what happens when the sanest individual working in a psych ward begins to lose his grip.

Rudi Dharmalingam plays Nik Katira, who after years working as psych nurse at Wakefield, 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, as his own sanity is slipping, the question is … why? Tackling the complexity of mental illness with humour and heart, the series explores the fine line between sanity and madness, powered by an intriguing psychological mystery.

Joan Sauers wrote episode four of the acclaimed series, and Xanthe Heubel was Costume Designer for the series.

Wakefield can be seen on ABC iView, and Showtime in October 2021.
