Winter be Bingeing 26' - The F Ward - Season One

The F Ward follows a group of medical interns sent to the underfunded Pines Hospital in Sydney for one final chance to complete their medical training. Here, they must overcome their insecurities, their past, and their own expectations in a hot-house environment where the stakes are life and death. 

The F Ward landed on Stan the other week, following, The Killings at Parrish Station and TV movie, Beast. So Stan has been leading the way with Aussie drama of late.

Binge also just gave us, the return of Colin from Accounts for a final season, whilst ABC recently gave us Treasure & Dirt.

Anna Friel leads, flawed but excellent interns are sent to the underfunded, under-resourced Pines Hospital, where the interns must overcome the expectations and challenges of their medical careers. They face final chances where the outcomes are life and death stakes.

Arka Das, Paula Arundell, Susie Porter, Jeremy Sims all have some interesting roles. Whilst Ioane Sa'ula as Jimmy Seufale, Love My Way's, Daniel Wyllie as Dr Curtis Parker, Lola Bond as Ellie O'Neill, Alex Fitzalan as Josh Wilson, Emily Barclay as Lisa Juracek, Rishab Kern as Yosef Perera & Annie Boyle as Ava Foley lead.

Alex Dimitriades also joins an episode as Stefan, a partying random, who ends up married with kids.

Ioane Sa'ula is super sexy, following his introduction through Bump. Which is interesting as the Bump creators, also created this Sydney-centric, The F War.

It was also excellent to see Kiwi, Emily Barclay back on the screen. 

I am excited at the state of Australia TV as we head into the Logies for 2026. Whilst the network TV is rubbish right now, with Ten celebrating rebooting Australian Ninja Warrior and Seven excited to pinch I'm a Celebrity Get Me Outta Here in 2027.

That brings us to the upfronts. With SBS going first on Tuesday September 1st at, Sydney Town Hall. Followed by Foxtel (usually including Binge announcements - that said Wentworth's reboot news is all out and about) on Thursday September 3 The Cutaway, Barangaroo, with Nine (at the same new venue as Foxtel) on September 17.

Nine should include Stan's new titles too. Or returning ones, which The F Ward could 100% be back.

Until next time, there is also a bit of Kiwi TV on at present. Look out for some titles from across the ditch ASAP!
