Barbara Sarafian
She began her career in radio programmes, including Sonja Duplex from Studio Brussel and De Nieuwe Wereld (The New World) from Radio 1. In Flanders, her television debut in the much-repeated series Alles Kan Beter (Everything Can Be Better, 1998) often places her in a comic context.
She made her international debut in Peter Greenaway's 8½ Women (1999). She also appeared in Fortress 2 (2000) and in Roman Coppola's CQ (2001). She received a Best Actress award for her role as Matty in the film Collision in Moscow. In 2015 she won a Flemish Television Star for "Best actress" for her performance in the series In Vlaamse velden (In Flemish fields). She was awarded the Boccalino d'Oro for Best Actress at the Locarno Festival in 2016.
In 2016 she was the face of the campaign Hey hoe gaat het? (Hey how are you?) which tries to break the taboo around suicide.

Outlander
Outlander follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire's heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
The Outlander series, adapted from Diana Gabaldon's international best-selling books, spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history and adventure into one epic tale.
Son of a Critch
Based on the award-winning, best-selling memoir from Mark Critch. This new original comedy is the hilarious and very real story of 11-year-old Mark coming of age in St. John's, Newfoundland in the 80s. It's a heartfelt window into the life of a child – much older inside than his 11 years – using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world.
Abbott Elementary
In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
