List of episodes

The third season of the television drama series Wentworth will premiere on SoHo in Australia on 7 April 2015. It will be executively produced by FremantleMedia's Director of Drama, Jo Porter. The season will comprise 12 episodes. Season three will pick up four months after Bea’s escape from prison and ruthless murdering of Brayden Holt.[1]

Production

On 29 January 2014, it was announced that FremantleMedia had renewed Wentworth for a third season, set to air in 2015.[2]

Jo Porter, the Director of Drama at FremantleMedia stated, "Foxtel have been the perfect broadcast partner and have given Wentworth the ideal platform for it to achieve such success both domestically and then internationally. To have this unique Australian program now airing across the globe fills us with great pride. The commissioning of series three is such a compliment to the hard work and talent of the writers, directors, our outstanding cast and of course the crew, most of whom have been with us since series one. We look forward to continuing our success both here and overseas."[2]

Brian Walsh, the Executive Director of Television at Foxtel stated, "Wentworth's first season was a triumph with its remarkable performance and production qualities which enthralled our Australian audience and achieved such great international recognition. Since October, the cast and the production team, led by producer Amanda Crittenden, have been back on-location delivering on the promise of season two’s gripping scripts and the story lines for season three are sensational."[2]

A third season was confirmed on 29 January 2014.[3] A five month production commenced in the purpose-built set in March 2014.[2] The final table read for season three took place on 8 July 2014.[4] Filming for the third season began in March 2014 and concluded in July 2014.[2]

Plot

As the story resumes four months have passed since Bea Smith's bold escape and ruthless murder of Brayden Holt. Having returned to Wentworth Correctional Centre, Bea has assumed the mantle of Top Dog, hailed by all – including Franky Doyle herself – as a worthy successor. Franky may no longer be Top Dog but she's not about to forget how Liz lagged on her, and Boomer is set make Liz pay. Doreen's baby bump is growing and Ferguson is watching her closely. While Vera's instincts are more attuned to Ferguson’s scheming, Will is none the wiser despite Fletch's apparent hit and run accident.[1]

Cast

Casting

Former All Saints stars Pia Miranda, Libby Tanner and Tammy Macintosh will join the cast as inmate Jodie Spiteri, psychologist Bridget Westfall and vigilante Karen Proctor, respectively.[5]
