Following its global debut, Where’s Wanda? has been hailed as an “electrifying,” “standout” series keeping “viewers on the edge of their seats” with “a unique blend of dark comedy and suspense,” and featuring “immensely likable, and often affecting performances” by its “talented cast.”

They will need to do everything in their power to prove her innocence and avoid losing her again, as their investigation to find the real murderer takes them into the criminal underbelly of their sleepy suburban town.
But will their quest to protect their family get them all out of trouble, or ultimately lead them further astray? And can they find out the truth of what happened on that fateful day before it’s too late?
Hailing from UFA Fiction, a Fremantle company, Where’s Wanda? season one was created, written and executive produced by Royal Television Society nominee Oliver Lansley (Flack), alongside multiple award-winning executive producers Nataly Kudiabor (Arthur’s Law) and Sebastian Werninger (The Physician).
