Wentworth Season 8 Episode 1

Wentworth  is an Australian television drama programme. It was first broadcast on  SoHo  on 1 May 2013. The series serves as a contemporary reimagining of  Prisoner , which ran on  Network Ten  from 1979 to 1986. Lara Radulovich and David Hannam developed  Wentworth  from  Reg Watson 's original concept. The series is set in the modern day and initially focuses on Bea Smith's ( Danielle Cormack ) early days in prison and her subsequent rise to the top of the prison's hierarchy. From the fifth season onward, the series shifted to emphasize more of an  ensemble  format.
