Wentworth is full of twists and turns

and it constantly strives
to surprise its audience.

At any given moment, anyone could...

just come to a grinding halt, yeah.

The stakes are always so high.

Top dogs, screws,

laggers and back stabbers.

Every double-crossing, heartbreaking,

jaw-dropping moment
from the very beginning.

It is worth the binge,
it's completely addictive.

Coming back to Wentworth is
like slipping on an old glove.

Join us as we celebrate
Australia's most epic drama,

the critically acclaimed,
multi-award winning global phenomenon.

I feel like I'm jumping on to the
shoulders of giants in this show,

there's some just bloody
extraordinary people on it.

I'm Celia Ireland,

you may know me as Liz,

and this is Wentworth: Behind the Bars,

seasons 1 to 7.

Since its premiere on Foxtel's
SoHo channel back in 2013,

Wentworth has become a global franchise

syndicated around the world

and a proud recipient
of countless awards,

including seven shiny Logies.

I even pinched one of those myself.

It's such a professional privilege

to work with Foxtel.

Yeah, when you look back
at the drama production,

it's of such high quality.

It is special. Like, I know
a lot of people say that,

but there's somethin'...
there's something down here

that's really special about
the crew, the production,

and the cast which makes
it part of a great team.

I think the thing that Foxtel does,

and we know for a
fact, is it puts females

in the centre and up in the lead.

There's a great diversity to
their characters and their stories

and Foxtel's commitment
to that is second-to-none.

There is a universality

to the stories that we're telling,

but also, in the capable
hands of these great actresses

it resonates across the world.

The US, UK, France, Canada,

Macedonia, Israel,

Wentworth plays in a whopping
170 territories worldwide.

Some countries even
remake their own versions.

_

Wow...

_

_

Please.

Wow.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

I think audiences were crying out for

interesting representation,

and Wentworth provided that.

We provided a full
cast of females who were

not just limited to love interests,

or the girlfriend or the
wife or the sexual object,

we actually said, "These
women are human, and,

here's a story that you'll wanna watch",

but also the LGBT representation
I think, came at a time,

where it was needed and it was wanted

and I think the fans have
gravitated because of that.

Before we look at the highly
anticipated eighth season...

Home sweet home now.

Let's go back to day one.

They think it takes a strong woman

to rise the top in
here but it doesn't...

it takes a smart one.

In walks our central
character, Bea Smith,

a victim of domestic violence.

She's been sentenced to Wentworth

for the attempted murder of her husband.

And look out ladies, this prison
will never be the same again.

We try to set up a very bold,

very strong characters that are
living in this world that is Wentworth,

and within that, it is about survival.

You know, life and death,

and I think that was pretty
gutsy to start where we did.

Kyia!

The fact that the end
of the first episode,

we kill Catherine McClements
who was playing the governor,

we showed to everybody, "ooh,
this was gonna be different."

"Ooh, they're not afraid
to kill a main character."

- Sierra 5 to Sierra 1...
- Someone call an ambulance!

No!

So Bea was lucky to make
it through episode 1 alive

but she's about to learn just
how dangerous her enemies can be.

Your husband found Debbie
in her bedroom unconscious.

Someone just tell me if she's OK.

Please! Anybody!

Just tell me!

I go to the morgue for Bea,

'cause she couldn't
go, and I say to Debbie:

"Your mum,

loves you to the moon and back."

No!

The heartbreaking
death of Bea's daughter

is the turning point for her.

Now, she has nothing left to lose.

Oh, you're gonna pay
for what you've done.

I'll never forget the end of season 1,

that shock of seeing Jacs have that...

Bea stabbing her in the neck

and that sort of bleeding out
moment was like, oh my God.

But of course, when one villain falls,

another one takes her place.

Season 2 sees the
introduction of The Freak

and boy, does she bring a
whole new level of terror.

Each and every person
here will know their place.

- And who are you?
- My name's Ms Ferguson...

but you can call me Governor.

The nature of villainy
is that it's complex,

and I was relishing the opportunity
to be unleashed... on The Freak.

I would often ask the
directors of a particular scene,

"can you see my moustache twirling?"

Freak!

It was teetering that
fine line all the time.

Ferguson is a master manipulator

and she's soon using
Bea to get to Frankie.

It's in your best
interest to strike first.

I'll do it when I'm ready.

There was a knife fight, in...

just in this laundry,
between Frankie and Bea

which was a six hour fight,

and in the process, Nicole
Da Silva broke her wrist.

I came away from that scene

feeling like I had been in Fight Club.

Done?

My favourite moment in the series,

and it still thrills me to think about

was where Bea escapes

and she emerges from the hospital
doors to the outside world

and the camera spins around to her

as she puts on her hoodie ready

to enter the world as
this escaped criminal...

and to this day, that
moment gives me goosebumps.

Now on the outside,

Bea's on a mission to seek
revenge for Debbie's death.

All right.

So, I wanna know why
you killed my daughter.

In that scene, what we have
is the... the exploration of

one of the major themes
of the show for me,

you have Bea coming into
prison as the hairdresser who

attempted to kill her violent husband

but couldn't go through with it,

and then she's confronted
with the prospect:

this bloke has killed her daughter.

Can she pull the trigger?

And if she does pull the trigger,

does it change her forever?

With her new-found badass status,

Bea returns to Wentworth and
assumes the burden of being Top Dog.

- Freak.
- Which marks the beginning

of The Freak's unravelling.

You don't run this prison...

I do.

Of course, Wentworth isn't
all violence and vengeance,

there's also a whole lotta love.

Aww, bless.

Oh, love...

- darling, he's beautiful.
- Oh, my God.

At its heart, Wentworth
is about a family,

and it's about these women from
very disparate parts of life

being thrust together and
having to work out how to get on,

how to create a community
and live and exist together.

When they're not killing each
other, it's a really nice family.

But with The Freak in charge,

well, let's just say...

some people just wanna
watch the world burn.

They call me a freak,

a monster,

they're right to be afraid.

Shh. It's all good.

- Fuck!
- No!

So what do you do when you've
burned your set to the ground?

You build a bigger one, of course.

- Here we are, girls.
- Yeah, home sweet fucking home.

Whoo!

It's an incredible set,

that actually exudes

a personality and a
depth of darkness that

invades you when you're
here and you're shooting.

The details in everything,
everything is so

beautifully thought
out that it brings you

to this place that it just gives
you your character instantly.

Fuck you! Fuck!

All the cells are identical

but if you walk in into all of them,

they each have such a different vibe,

and walking into mine,

it taught me a lot about who Boomer was.

You're way better than this place.

Some days I don't know if I am.

Well, you are.

I was struck by how small it was,

and I thought, "Oh my God,
she's been here for seven years,

and this is her life,
this room is her life."

With a whole new set to play with,

we really had some fun in season 4.

Especially when the latest
inmate turns out to be...

The Freak.

A very tricky thing to try to pull off.

How in the world the person
who'd been running that prison

would end up in teal...

in that environment, and stay alive.

Certainly she would have
been kept in isolation, but,

isolation is no help

to a master Machiavellian
like Joan Ferguson.

- Freak!
- Oh, that's for sure.

Before long, The Freak's pulling
the strings from the inside

and has Kaz, a new inmate,

and Jake, the crooked new
guard, doing her bidding.

I've been warned about you, Joan.

Don't be too sure of anything
anyone tells you, Jake.

Bea starts to lose her
influence with the women...

I can see the cracks, Smith,
and that means Ferguson can too.

You need to remind
everyone who's in charge.

... because she's too busy

- falling in love.
- Everyone I care about ends up dead!

- You care about me?
- Oh, we should get back for the count.

She was in... in a domestically
violent relationship

and then she also
encountered a relationship

that she was a little bit confused by,

she fell in love with another woman,

even though she had defined
herself as heterosexual.

I'm not gay.

I don't care what you are.

Looking back on four
seasons of Wentworth,

I think my favourite scene is

looking up at the clouds

and the clouds are forming seahorses.

Did you know that seahorses
like to swim in pairs?

- Do they?
- Yeah, they do,

they link tails so they
don't lose each other.

We didn't realise at the time
but it became such an iconic theme

for that relationship.

I get sent seahorses
all the time from my fans

which is so incredibly sweet.

Aww.

The big shocker arrives
at the end of season 4

and there's no doubt,

no-one saw it coming.

It wasn't difficult

to keep Bea's death a secret because

we didn't have that much warning.

I didn't see that coming.

We had to work really hard
at keeping that under wraps

and a lot of the crew didn't even know

that that was gonna be the final moment

for that character.

I don't think anyone was expecting that.

It was such genius television making.

I'm gonna finish this.

The whole point in... in...
in making a show is to...

is to move people,

is to get a response out of them...

and we certainly did it with that,

but it was a big shock.

I win.

After killing off their main character,

everyone was waiting to see

where the writers would
take Wentworth in season 5.

Even when I read the scripts I'm,

"Ooh, oh, my God, I can't
wait to see what happens."

You know, it's exciting television.

- Fuck!
- Oh!

Poor Allie.

She has one very
focused idea in her mind

and that is to... to kill The Freak...

and she tries.

A lot more goes into a fight scene

than... than you might think,
because, it kinda looks so seamless.

Hours and hours worth of rehearsals

and stunt choreography is kinda reduced

to maybe two minutes
of... of fight on screen.

Everyone's fears would be realised when

with Bea out of the way...

Who's next?!

... Ferguson really
steps up her villainy.

Top dog!

Top dog!

They gave me such

constant gifts.

You can almost hear

uh, the writers room,

you know, quivering with glee

as they come up with
some of those things.

You've licked your last pussy.

Woah! That really brings new
meaning to cat got your tongue.

It wasn't just the
script we had fun with,

we also tackled our
most ambitious stunt yet,

the car accident that happens to
be a real turning point for Kaz.

The most challenging scene was
definitely the brawler scene...

They had this big van in a rotisserie,

and then there was guys just pulling it,

'cause Tammy was in there doing
her thing and I went, "Wow!"

Shit! Argh!

... and then we had a day in a tank

while Will saves Kaz.

A man saves her and that was
such a turning point for Kaz,

and it was a beautiful moment to play.

It was a really hard moment to play.

Will?!

All I wanted to do was
go, "Woo-hoo, spshh!".

Will?!

But not all the action
on Wentworth takes place

on the road, or in the water,

this season sees Vera
in bed with the enemy.

I feel safe with you.

So many times I've picked up scripts

and gone,

"Vera, you're an idiot... "

"don't do it!"

In many ways, the fans of the show

have loved to hate Jake,

kind of thing, in the same way
that they love to hate Ferguson.

Ah, Ferguson,

what a sweet, sweet treat it is

when she finally gets her just
deserts at the end of the season.

Wish I could have taken
credit for that one.

That whole time, as I was
burying her, she was screaming.

- She was screaming at me the whole time.
- No!

Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!

And you know, you can never ever
get rid of something like that.

- Never. That'll always be there.
- No!

Am I happy with where
they left my character? No!

No, of course not. Appalling,
appalling behaviour.

So, in season 6, with
Ferguson out of the picture,

could the writers introduce someone

who'd give The Freak
a run for her money?

You betcha!

You're never gonna
fucking believe who's here.

In walks Marie Winter.

Mother, madam, murderer.

How come everyone knows you?

Well, I mean, hardly everyone.

Well, a few women may know
me through my businesses.

- Oh, yeah? What do you sell?
- Sex.

Ooh, wasn't expecting that.

So, it's the most complex
character we've had in the series

in that she's a villain...

and she's adorable at the same time.

I really missed you, Allie.

Marie soon finds a
formidable foe in Rita,

another newbie...

who's hiding the kind of secrets

you really don't want on the inside.

Good work, Detective.

It was very daunting.

I'm really glad that I
had Rarriwuy Hick with me,

'cause we'd worked together before.

It's better if nobody knows about us.

They ain't gonna hear it from me.

To protect her sister,

Rita's eventually forced
to take down Marie's muscle.

Ruby's out. You're fightin' me.

- Bullshit.
- Let's go!

When we did the big fight with Drago,

it was a whole... it was twelve hours,

and I said, "I wanna do my own stunts".

One take, I turned around and said,

"You wanna go again?!"

I was tired,

I was sore,

and I just said, "I'm gotta
take this bitch out."

And I did.

Myself, as Rarriwuy,

I wish I had a big sister
like her, you know?

And how could we forget that
healthy dose of blackmail...

Who is this?

... that raised some really
disturbing questions.

Could it be The Freak
blackmailing from the grave?

- Or even worse... is she still alive?
- _

How do you know she didn't...

Oh, God!

Dig her way out.

In season 7, we reached new
levels of revenge and betrayal.

Ray!

Shh.

Let me go to him. Please, please...

There's a great scene between, um...

Marie and Rita,

where Rita finds out that
it was Marie that, uh,

ah, put the hit on Ray.

- You killed Ray!
- Hey, hey!

- Rita...
- No, it's OK, babe.

- What are you talking about?
- I know it was you.

- You put Ray in this shit.
- That's fuckin' bullshit!

Butchers hit Ray
because of what you did.

So we work out that

we should kill Marie,
and we work out how...

and we decide we're
gonna build a pipe bomb.

Let me out! Fuck you, Kaz, you... !

Oh, shit!

But Marie is like a cat with nine lives.

I've tried to kill her a million times.

She just won't die.

You just can't kill Marie.

Do you regret what you did...

to Marie?

Kaz is actually forced to
re-evaluate her entire world view

with the help of Greg
Miller, the new psychiatrist.

She gets challenged all the time.

When I was a kid, I was the victim.

I was Karen...

but I refused to let that be my story.

And just when we thought
Kaz had found peace,

Wentworth delivered one
of its biggest blows.

There was such a sacred, spiritual

loving presence on that set that day

that I didn't act that scene alone.

I could feel every single crew member...

I love you.

... I could feel them.

I think that the ability
to make those bold decisions

is what makes this show stand apart

and what... what makes it such
a roller-coaster of a ride.

What's happening with Kaz's murder?

The police aren't getting
anywhere with the women.

Have you heard anything?

Only that Miss Bennett thinks I did it.

Vera had her suspicions.

I know, Will.

What do you know?

That you have become
totally compromised.

I will not...

- let you destroy him.
- Fuck you all

for killing Danny!

And it's time for Marie
to bring out the big guns.

If you don't get me out of
here in the next 48 hours,

the whole country's gonna find out

how you like to spend your holidays.

And it all culminates in this siege

at the very end of the season when

Sean locks down the whole
prison, takes hostages.

In total we spent about

four days with guns pointed
at us, being screamed at,

one by one, people just
being shot and killed.

I killed fucking Proctor!

You let Marie go

or I'm gonna shoot your mum.

There's one scene where I
have to shoot multiple people

and that's when it all
sort of starts to unravel.

Shootouts, hostages, murder.

This was a finale with the lot.

- Everyone down! Drop it!
- Hey, Marie...

did you forget about me?

Give me the gun.

- We are leaving...
- Give me that gun!

With that comes the most
uncharacteristic move

that I think Allie has ever pulled.

I don't think anyone expected

- that she would be the person...
- For Danny. Oh!

... that grabbed the
gun and saved the day.

But the adrenaline of the
siege was quickly tempered

by yet another tragic turn of events.

So, dementia wasn't enough for ya, hey?

Had to go and have a bloody
stroke too, you greedy bitch?

It was very hard,

it was very confronting to see Lizzie

making those sounds
and just lying there.

I love you.

After we filmed the scene,

I had the most incredible
sense of peace and calm...

I love you.

... because it was like, "Yes,

I want this, thank you for helping me".

It... I think at that moment, all
I had was white noise just going,

"Make your arms work,

"make your legs move,"

and just go through the motions,
that's what I was having to do,

and my arms naturally wanted
to start shaking and...

and then the other part of
my actor's brain was like,

"Please don't really smother
Celia in this moment".

Emotions truly ran
the gamut in season 7,

but there was one more
earth-shattering reveal

before the credits rolled.

Joan Ferguson has literally
risen from the dead.

She has somehow escaped a box.

That's right. Joan, The
Freak, Ferguson returns

in the brand new season,

and she's out for revenge.

Jake, Vera and myself
will be her three targets.

They are the people she's after.

Get ready for the biggest season yet.

- Holy shit, that was...
- Oh, jeez...

This season is going to be so epic.

Old enemies, new faces...

and I think the most twisted plot line.

In season 8, we open and
I have been in isolation.

I've gone from Top Dog
to kinda like absolutely

dog on the floor type of thing.

One of the themes of Wentworth
this series is redemption.

What the fuck is this about?

Told ya, we're just
gonna have a little chat.

I think that all of the characters
are worthy of redemption,

whether or not they
achieve that redemption,

I'm not sure.

Now, tell us the truth.

I am telling you the truth.

In season 8, we're finally seeing Allie

in all of her power and
in all of her strength,

but pushed right to the very limit.

I don't tolerate violence in my prison.

I got the women on my side

so if you try something,
there's gonna be consequences.

We're also being introduced

to a group of new characters

who are the cream of Australian talent.

They are so fabulous.

Lou is a former Top Dog of Wentworth.

Oh, hey, look.

She's fierce... .

- Nobody move.
- ... um, she's got a very dark sense of humour.

Stay down! Coming through!

- It's OK everybody, I got the fly.
- Back iin line! Come here!

Stay back! Stay back!

- Come on!
- Fuck!

- I wanna go with her!
- And she's also wildly in love.

- ... medical assistance required to sally port.
- Mr Jackson!

Hey, you can't separate
us. Reb needs me.

I'm playing Reb Keane.

He has a pretty rough history.
Um, he's trans, female to male,

and you know, the challenges that
come with being a transgender man

- in a women's prison are endless.
- Hey.

- Rebecca.
- It's Reb.

Who are you?

I've been a huge admirer of Wentworth...

- I'm Sheila.
- ... and the dedication, commitment,

and extraordinary acting

that I see in every
scene, in every frame,

with every character,

it's an honour and a
privilege to be a part of it.

And another new inmate, Judy Bryant,

might be behind bars
for the wrong reasons.

We're here outside
Wentworth Women's Prison,

- awaiting the arrival of British hacktivist
- Judy Bryant, who faced court...

- and whistle-blower, Judy Bryant,
- just a few hours ago.

- who faced court just a few...
- a government deal

- Hey, that's out the front!
- to establish a military base...

Oh shit, we're on telly. Hey, hey!

Oh, that's that hacker
chick. She is amazing.

She lands in Wentworth
because she has leaked some

precarious secrets about the
Australian government online

and she kind of has this passion
and fire to fight for the underdog.

The staff of Wentworth
are also in for a shake-up

as the new GM of
Corrections is appointed.

The new General Manager, uh,
Ann, is at Wentworth now,

and she doesn't want
me to be the governor.

Someone has to take the
rap for that siege, Vera.

The siege wasn't Will's fault.

She's used to getting what
she wants, put it that way,

and she comes to Wentworth
to make sweeping changes.

The decision has been made

- to close the Protection Unit, immediately.
- You're kidding me.

But the key character that I

and the whole audience should
be excited about meeting

is little Gracie.

- Oh, my God!
- Oh, shit, it's Miss Bennett.

Oh, she's got the baby!

She is... she's gonna win awards.

- She's delightful.
- Oh, my gawd, she's beautiful.

One take wonder. She's beautiful.

Fuck, I love babies.

Yeah, little Gracie
is a cutie all right,

and I don't want to give anything away

but, someone else has
their eyes on her too.

The moment Joan Ferguson
comes back into the picture,

all bets are off.

I can guarantee you, I
can't give anything away,

but I can guarantee
you that the way that

Ferguson comes back into this story

is not what you are gonna expect.

Thank you, Miss Maxwell.

Do I know you from somewhere?

Where has Joan been?

I just have one of those faces.

- And cut.
- It's a great little mystery.

They have no idea what's coming.

Wentworth season 8 is... out of control.

It's just next level.

For seven seasons,

Wentworth has indeed been
an extraordinary journey,

filled with characters we've
come to love and loathe.

Argh!

- I've got a meeing with my lawyer and...
- But the journey's far from over,

with a whole new season
ready to thrill, shock,

- and excite audiences.
- Hey!

- Here she is!
- Ba-da-boom!

It's bigger, badder, better.

I'd say the holiday's over.

This season covers some pretty
torturous and enthralling territory.

It's The Freak, so
everybody is a target.

I'm seeing there, "Oh my God, oh my God!

So, it gets pretty hectic.

- Get her in!
- Are you ready?

Fuck!

Is The Freak coming back for series 8?

Is she?
