Anna Friel, the acclaimed actress known for her roles in 'Pushing Daisies' and 'Marcella', is set to star in a new medical drama series, 'The F Ward'. This six-part series, co-created by Dan Edwards and Kelsey Munro, is a joint venture between Australian streamer Stan and CBS Studios. The show follows Dr. Gloria Wall, a fearsome and fearless general surgeon, and her second-in-command, registrar Dr. Curtis Parker, as they lead a group of medical interns on their final chance at Pines Hospital. The series explores the challenges and triumphs of these interns as they navigate life-or-death situations, battle bureaucracy, and learn the ropes of medicine in an underfunded public hospital. The show promises to be a gripping and emotional journey, with a talented cast and crew, including International Emmy winner Anna Friel, Ioane Sa'ula, Lola Bond, Wyllie, Alex Fitzalan, Emily Barclay, Annie Boyle, and Rishab Kern. The series is set to launch on Stan on July 17, offering a fresh and compelling take on the medical drama genre.
