Footballer Wants a Wife
Footballer Wants a Wife is a six-part comedy web miniseries which parodies reality TV dating shows and sends up footballer stereotypes.[1][2][3] ProductionThe series was created by Ben Nicholas. It was funded through Screen Australia's Multi Platform drama funding program. The series aired in September 2015. It was produced by Julian Vincent Costanzo and Jonathon Dutton, and written by Nicholas and Carl J Sorheim. The series features an all-star cast.[4] Nicholas did not want to "tarnish" the AFL or those involved in it, but rather poke fun at reality television. He stated "I'm a big fan of football and I didn't want to tarnish the game. I don't want to go down any of the routes that mar the game. People don't need to know about drug scandals or in-jokes or bad boys."[5] SynopsisSteven is a football player looking for a wife – just like his mother. He joins two other young footballers as they embark on their modern-day journey to find true love.[6] The three footballers (from three different codes), are matched up against fourteen women who will stop at nothing to become a WAG.
