The second season of the crime drama television series Wentworth premiered on SoHo in Australia on 20 May 2014. It was executively produced by FremantleMedia's director of drama Jo Porter. The season consisted of 12 episodes.
The second season picks up three months after Bea Smith murdered Jacs Holt. While Bea was suffering in the slot, Franky Doyle rose to the position of top dog unopposed. However, the introduction of a new governor, Joan Ferguson is about to shake everything up.
Three months after Jacs Holt's death, Bea has been sentenced to twelve years for manslaughter and is confined to the psychiatric ward under heavy sedation. Franky has risen to top dog status and is ruling the compound with notably more malice than before. Erica Davidson has left Wentworth and has been replaced as Governor by Joan Ferguson, a tyrannical and intelligent officer who decides that changes need to be made. When Franky declines Ferguson's offer of an alliance, she becomes fixed on ending Franky's reign. Seeing a potential contender in Bea, Ferguson forces her off the sedatives and returns her to the compound. But Bea, consumed with grief, realizes that now is the time to exact her revenge against Brayden Holt for killing her daughter Debbie.
Guest cast: Georgia Flood (Debbie Smith), Cassandra Magrath (Hayley Jovanka)
