Womaniser Tom Wilcox (Michael Dorman) places a bet that he will not have sex with a female flatmate for 12 months – otherwise he will lose his beloved car.

The other couples are the recently married Steve Beaumont (Tim Ross) and Dani Varvaris (Jessica Tovey), teacher Colette Riger (Emma Lung) and husband Rob Duffy (Ben Mingay), and lawyer Grace Barnes (Brooke Satchwell) and her new lover Carlos Dos Santos (Glenn McMillan).

[3] Michael Idato from The Age reported that Ten hopes the series will "tap into" Offspring's established audience.

[7] Of the series, Ten's executive producer of drama, Rick Maier, said "Wonderland is an escapist treat with a great production team and with a perfectly-balanced ensemble cast.

[16] Describing her character, Satchwell stated "Grace is a very linear, bottled up defamation lawyer, and as you can imagine, she is going to come slightly undone.

"[16] Michael Dorman plays bachelor Tom Wilcox, while Jessica Tovey was cast as Dani Varvaris.

[14] Network Ten announced on 29 April that Wonderland, which is set in a beach-side apartment building, had begun production.

"[25] The Sydney sound house Smith and Western released the show's theme song "(Come On) Come Inside" shortly before the first episode aired.

[26] The song was written and recorded by Ant Smith, Nick West, Dan Higson and Amanda Brown.

[26] Australian band Purple Cream have recorded a theme song for the show called Crazy OL World Wonderland opened with an audience of 948,000, which was one of Network Ten's best performances of the year.

[30] David Knox from TV Tonight gave the series a mixed review and pointed out that it "feels too white-bread to reasonably reflect suburban Australia".

Knox commented "Wonderland boasts TV's sexiest cast, which compensates for material that is sometimes pedestrian and antics used in place of character-based humour.

"[31] Tony Squires, writing for The Age, said "Wonderland doesn't try to be Offspring, even if it has a similar desire to leaven its drama with comic moments.

"[32] The Guardian's Vicky Frost thought elements of the opening episode were not surprising and some relationships were "too neatly laid out.

"[33] She quipped "Wonderland ticks all the usual boxes and adds a bit of ocean glamour; Coogee has never looked so beautiful.
