Wentworth TV Series

This is Australian drama at its edge-of-the-seat best. Powerful and confronting, Wentworth is a modern adaptation of the iconic series Prisoner, which pushed boundaries more than three decades ago. Set in Wentworth Correctional Centre, each episode explores the lives of a uniquely close-knit family of very different women and how they survive the challenges of living amongst warring criminals fighting for supremacy.

Wentworth is now screening in 140 countries with adaptations in three different languages and boasts numerous awards and nominations locally and internationally.
