Synopsis
Four months have passed since Bea Smiths bold escape and ruthless murder of Brayden Holt. Having returned to Wentworth Correctional Centre following her successful campaign to kill Brayden, Bea has assumed the mantle of Top Dog, hailed by all - including Franky Doyle herself - as a worthy successor. But things are set to heat up with Joan The Freak Ferguson realising Bea has played her, but she is determined to win the end game. Bea, meanwhile, has only one goal in mind to bring The Freak down. To achieve this, she will need the help of the women and ultimately some of Ferguson's trusted officers. Unlikely alliances will form in season three which will have charring consequences. As the season opens Bea is to be sentenced for Braydens murder. Franky may no longer be Top Dog but shes not about to forget how Liz lagged on her, and Boomer is set make Liz pay. Doreens baby bump is growing and Ferguson is watching her closely. While Veras instincts are more attuned to Fergusons scheming, Will is none the wiser after Fletchs apparent hit and run accident.
Cliffhangers- they can be agony, they can be ecstasy – but they work. They keep us glued to the screen, chatting afterwards and coming back for more the next season.
These families are full of lying, cheating, murderous siblings and parents. Whilst they make for compelling viewing, we are glad we aren't part of them!
