\n\tEXCLUSIVE:<\/strong> Here\u2019s your first look at Anna Friel<\/a> as Dr. Gloria Wall in Australian medical drama series The F Ward<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Pushing Daisies and Marcella star plays a fearsome and fearless doctor, who along with her second-in-command, registrar Dr Curtis Parker, leads a ragtag group of medical interns on their final chance at Pines Hospital.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe first told you about the six-part show \u2013 which is from Australian streamer Stan and CBS Studios<\/a> \u2013 last year in October<\/a>. Paramount<\/a> was selling it at the LA Screenings<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe can reveal the series will launch on Stan on July 17. Dan Edwards (Bump,\u00a0Romper Stomper) and Kelsey Munro (Bump) are the co-creators and producers for\u00a0Roadshow Rough Diamond<\/a>,\u00a0with John Edwards also producing.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe full synopsis for the show reads: \u201cA new cohort of medical graduates join the Pines Hospital\u2019s intern program. This is their last chance after each of them failed their first year as an intern doctor. Every shift they face their fears and frailties in life or-death situations \u2013 premature pregnancies, runaway retirees, impossible surgeries \u2013 all while battling bureaucracy and learning on the job in an underfunded public hospital. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSparks fly inside and out of the hospital, illicit workplace romances burn bright and lifelong friendships blossom. They learn how to care for their patients, each other, and themselves, on the path to becoming the doctors they dream of being.\u201d<\/p>\n
