More details have emerged on TEN’s 2011 thriller, Inside Out, and it seems it is “reinventing” Prisoner. Try and contain the enthusiasm guys….
“It’s a story in a detention centre about a woman who, wrongly accused, seeks her revenge,” Ten’s programming chief David Mott has told the Herald Sun.
“We’re very excited about it. We’ve looked at Prisoner for some time now and wondered whether it’s time to revive the style of that show.”
Producer Ian Bradley, who was a co-producer on Prisoner, is involved.
The network hopes Inside Out will become a long-running series. Yesterday it likened the show to UK dramas Bad Girls and Widows.
Longtime fans of the cult drama have frequently requested the series get a revival. The female series, which ran from 1979 – 1986 (pictured), already spawned a remake in the US, when original scripts were reproduced as Dangerous Women. TEN also attempted the male series Punishment, including with a young Mel Gibson.

as much as i love prisoner i have watched the series in full twice but the only way i would like to see it brought back is in repeats you can not properly remake such a great show i would give it a go and watch it but you just cant remake prisoner as good as the original
I hope it’s nothing like the British version Bad Girls, that was rubbish compared to Prisoner. I wonder which company is making this.
@ Billy Sandy Edwards escaped in that garbage truck I’m sure of it.
I’m so excited I can’t wait for this. All they need to do now is repeat the original so that people who have waited years to see it again can as well as introduce it to a whole new generation who have never seen it.
Oh my God this is the best news I’ve heard all year, fans have been waiting for so long for Prisoner to be brought back on our screens one way or another, easily the best show Oz has ever made. Good to see the original producer is involved with this new version, I hope it’s as good as the original. Can’t wait to see a new Bea Smith, “Vinegar tits” and Franky Doyle!!!
