Wannabe: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Wannabe is the story of unfinished business, one last shot at fame and struggling to let go of a lifelong dream.

Maxine never made it to the big time as part of teenage girl group Variety and now, as a middle-aged failing music manager, she finds herself in crisis, when the one act she looks after threatens to drop her.

But Maxine has come up with a plan. A come back. This time bigger, bolder and, well... older. Who cares about a hip young girl group anyway?! What the world is really missing is Mum Pop.
