The third season of the television drama series Wentworth premiered on SoHo in Australia on 7 April 2015. It was executively produced by FremantleMedia's Director of Drama, Jo Porter. The season comprises 12 episodes. Season three picks up four months after Bea's return to Wentworth following her escape and revenge murder of Brayden Holt.
As the story resumes four months have passed since Bea Smith's bold escape and ruthless murder of Brayden Holt. Having returned to Wentworth Correctional Centre, Bea has assumed the mantle of Top Dog, hailed by all – including Franky Doyle herself – as a worthy successor. Franky may no longer be Top Dog but she's not about to forget how Liz lagged on her, and Boomer is set to make Liz pay. Doreen's baby bump is growing and Ferguson is watching her closely. While Vera's instincts are more attuned to Ferguson's scheming, Will is none the wiser despite Fletch's apparent hit and run accident.
Bea is sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for the murder of Brayden Holt, and Ferguson takes the opportunity to make sure Bea toes the line. But a defiant Bea fights back. Ferguson responds by slotting Bea and releasing Liz from protection, exposing her to a brutal beating from Boomer. But Ferguson has underestimated Bea, who instigates a riot amongst the prisoners. The prison is put on lock-down, with Channing on-site, Vera is held hostage by masked prisoners and threatened with a syringe, and the inmates start a huge bonfire in the exercise yard. Ferguson has no choice but to release Bea from solitary and ask her to end the riot. Bea tells Ferguson that she controls the prison.
Guest cast: Cassandra Magrath (Hayley Jovanka), Neil Melville (Brendan Maddock), Scott Parmeter (Chris Bakula)
Franky is feeling the pinch as her drug supply is cut, and other prisoners demand that she settles her debts. The new psychiatrist, Bridget Westfall, identifies Franky as someone she can help but Franky refuses to engage, plotting to get away from her angry customers by deliberately trashing the Education Unit. Whilst in the slot, Franky overhears an altercation between Ferguson and Jodie Spiteri. Boomer finds a new friend in Maxine. Meanwhile, Bea is concerned at the police's interest in Will over Harry's death, and when she confronts him about it, he makes a startling confession. In an attempt to patch up their friendship, Boomer and Liz are forced to help one another.
