Renewed: Wentworth

Foxtel's hit drama will return in 2018 for 12 more episodes.

Foxtel has announced a sixth-season renewal for its hit series Wentworth -an impressive feat for any local drama these days.

The FremantleMedia Australia drama will return in 2018 for 12 more episodes.

Foxtel Head of Drama Penny Win said “As Foxtel’s longest running original drama, Wentworth continues to set a high bar for our local production slate.

“There is so much yet to unfold with season five premiering now in Australia on Foxtel before any details should be revealed about the sixth season. My lips are sealed other than to say Marcia Gardner and the writers continue to excel in setting up intriguing story arcs and finely crafted scripts for the wonderfully talented Wentworth cast to bring to life.”

FremantleMedia Director of Drama Jo Porter said “Getting to a sixth season is something none of us take for granted. Key to this is the unwavering dedication to the show by the incredible Wentworth audience both in Australia and around the world. Like us they are drawn to our exceptional cast who embody the diverse, complex and intriguing characters who populate the intense world of Wentworth and its high stakes and compelling stories.

“None of this would be possible without our wonderful partners Foxtel. Together with series producer Pino Amenta, the wonderful team of writers, directors, crew, and cast, we all look forward to opening the gates of Wentworth for the next chapter. Knowing what they have in store fans won’t be disappointed and we can’t wait to get started.”

Wentworth is now seen in more than 140 territories and there are productions in Dutch, German and Flemish. It recently won the AACTA Award for Most Outstanding Drama Series and was nominated in multiple categories at the Logie Awards.

Production will commence in Melbourne later this month.

Season 5 is currently airing on Showcase.
