From colonics to cupping, Liv will try anything to get out of Sydney and back to New York. Celeste Barber stars in Wellmania, coming to Netflix.
The show follows the story of food writer and human tornado Liv, played by Celeste Barber, as she experiences a major health crisis and is forced to rethink her ‘live fast die young’ attitude.
After scoring a once-in-a-lifetime job that would have propelled her into the American mainstream, a series of unfortunate events in Australia sees Liv banned from re-entering the States unless she fixes her health.
Determined to reclaim her old life, Liv throws herself body-first into a wellness journey, trying everything from the benign to the bizarre in an attempt to get well quick.
As Liv navigates her wellness journey, viewers will be able to relate to her struggles and triumphs and may even be inspired to take control of their own health.
Cast: Celeste Barber, JJ Fong, Genevieve Mooy, Lachlan Buchanan, Remy Hii, Alexander Hodge, Simone Kessell, Virginie Laverdure, Johnny Carr.
