Brian Walsh , the executive director of television at Foxtel , stated that Wentworth would not be a remake of Prisoner , which ran for 692 episodes on Network Ten from 1979 to 1986 . He continued : `` Wentworth will be a dynamic and very confronting drama series , developed and stylised specifically for subscription television audiences . We have told producers to push all boundaries and honestly depict life on the inside as it is in 2012 . '' Lara Radulovich and David Hannam have developed Wentworth from Reg Watson 's original concept . FremantleMedia and director of drama Jo Porter will produce Wentworth . The first episode , and several subsequent episodes , were written by Pete McTighe . Television critic Michael Idato acted as series consultant and Kerry Tucker acted as consultant on authenticity . Porter commented that the series would explore `` the politics of women in a world with few men , and how the experience both challenges and changes them , sometimes for the better . '' Wentworth is set in the modern - day and centres on Bea Smith 's early days in prison . The storylines include a mix of original inmates and staff from Prisoner with characters developed especially for Wentworth . Foxtel told a reporter from The Sydney Morning Herald that the original characters from Prisoner would be a contemporary interpretation in the new series . It was initially reported that none of the original cast from Prisoner would appear in the first season of Wentworth , however Anne Charleston , who had a number of small roles in the original series , made a cameo appearance as Liz Birdsworth 's mother - in - law , also Alex Menglet and Gloria Ajenstat who played Ray Proctor and Tammy Fisher in the original series will have guest roles in the new series . Foxtel revealed that the producers were looking at how they might incorporate the Prisoner theme tune , `` On The Inside '' , into the new series . On 5 June 2013 , it was confirmed that Wentworth had been renewed for a second season . A reporter for the Australian Associated Press said production would begin later in the year , and the season would air in 2014 . Porter stated : `` We have assembled an extraordinary team of writers who ca n't wait to get started on series two . We have so many more stories to tell . '' In January 2014 , it was announced that a third season of Wentworth had been ordered , before the second had aired . In a similar manner , a 12 - episode fourth season was announced before the airing of the third season on 27 February 2015 . It began airing from 10 May 2016 . Cormack confirmed a fifth season had been commissioned on 19 July . The twelve - part series premiered on 4 April 2017 . On 9 May 2017 , Showcase announced that the series has been renewed for a sixth season , which is set to premiere on 19 June 2018 . A seventh season was commissioned in April 2018 , before the sixth season premiere , with filming commencing the following week and a premiere set for 2019 . Casting ( edit ) On 4 October 2012 , a reporter for The West Australian revealed that Celia Ireland and Kate Atkinson had joined the cast of Wentworth , while Shareena Clanton would make her acting debut as Doreen Anderson . Danielle Cormack was cast in the role of Beatrice `` Queen Bea '' Smith and she stated `` I am absolutely rapt to be part of the reboot of such an iconic drama . Prisoner left an indelible mark on fans and I really hope that the re-imagining of this series will be just as popular with viewers now as it was back then . '' Actors Robbie Magasiva and Aaron Jeffery play corrections officers in the detention centre . David Knox from TV Tonight revealed that Nicole da Silva , Kris McQuade , Catherine McClements and Leeanna Walsman had also joined the cast . Following the end of the first season , it was revealed that iconic Prisoner character Joan `` The Freak '' Ferguson , a sadistic , lesbian prison officer , would be introduced in the second season . Porter commented `` Prisoner offered up a very rich well of amazing characters to draw upon and the Wentworth writers are very excited about revisiting the character of prison officer Joan ' The Freak ' Ferguson in our second season . '' Erin McWhirter from TV Week reported that former All Saints actress Tammy MacIntosh was one actress rumoured to have been offered the role . On 21 September 2013 , it was confirmed that Pamela Rabe had been cast as `` The Freak '' . McQuade , McClements and Walsman did not reprise their respective roles of Jacs Holt , Meg Jackson and Erica Davidson for the second season . Katrina Milosevic , who portrays Boomer Jenkins , was upgraded to the main cast . Actresses Pia Miranda , Libby Tanner and Tammy MacIntosh joined the cast from the third season as inmate Jodie Spiteri , psychologist Bridget Westfall and vigilante Karen Proctor respectively . Sigrid Thornton , who played Ros Coulson on Prisoner , will be joining the cast for season four . She will not be reprising her former role , but will play another Prisoner based character Sonia Stevens . In November 2015 , Kate Jenkinson and Bernard Curry were announced to be appearing in the show as Allie Novak , an inmate , and Jake Stewart , a correctional officer , respectively . In April 2018 , it was announced that Indigenous Australian actress Leah Purcell had joined the cast as Rita Connors , a role originally played by Glenda Linscott in Prisoner . Also joining the cast were Susie Porter as criminal matriarch Marie Winter , a role originally played by Maggie Millar in Prisoner , and Rarriwuy Hick as young boxer Ruby Mitchell . Filming ( edit ) Foxtel confirmed that Wentworth would not be shot at the original ATV - 10 studios in Nunawading , Victoria where Prisoner was filmed . Wentworth was instead filmed on a purpose built set in the suburb of Clayton . The shoot employed 300 cast and crew . The ten - part season began filming for four months from 10 October 2012 . Wentworth began airing on Foxtel 's SoHo channel from 1 May 2013 . Filming for the second season began on 23 September 2013 and wrapped on 13 February 2014 . The second season began airing on 20 May 2014 . Production for the third season resumed in March and filming was completed in late July . In the same month , it was announced that the property in which Wentworth was filmed had been sold , and the set would be knocked down . A new alternative was being sought and a TV Week reporter commented that it was unclear if the loss of the set would be written into future storylines . The third season began airing on 7 April 2015 . Production on the fourth season began in the second half of 2015 . The fifth season was filmed in Melbourne from August 2016 . On 9 May 2017 , Showcase announced that the series has been renewed for a sixth season , which began filming a week later . Release ( edit ) Broadcast ( edit ) Wentworth has been sold to more than 90 countries . On 2 April 2013 , it was confirmed that TVNZ had signed a deal to broadcast Wentworth in New Zealand . Later that month , it was announced that Wentworth would be broadcast on Channel 5 in the UK . The head of acquisitions for the channel , Kate Keenan , commented `` Wentworth will be a great addition to Channel 5 's drama output this autumn . This compelling cast of female characters packs an emotional punch and will appeal to the Channel 5 viewers who love our range of crime output from dramas to factual series . '' A trailer for the series began airing on the channel and its website in August 2013 and premiered on Channel 5 on 28 August . Channel 5 also re-titled the show , Wentworth Prison . The second season began on Channel 5 on 3 September 2014 and season Three , which commenced broadcast on 22 July 2015 , concluded with a two - hour season finale which consisted of episodes 11 and 12 of the season on 30 September 2015 .

The series premiered in the Republic of Ireland broadcasting as Wentworth on TV3 from June 2014 . Season 2 premiered on TV3 on 15 January 2015 . In Canada the first two seasons broadcast on Aboriginal Peoples Television Network in late 2015 . Although the series has a strong fan base in many countries , Angela Perez of Australia Network News said Foxtel was considering cancelling the show due to audiences viewing new episodes via pirate websites following the Australian premiere . Foxtel stated that the piracy is `` a serious problem in terms of recouping money to help pay for future seasons '' .

In April 2016 the third season was released to US audiences via the platform . Season 4 was released on Netflix in July 2016 .

In Australia , Foxtel Now provides a catch - up service for the Wentworth , while the series is made available for catch - up viewing via TVNZ OnDemand in New Zealand and My5 in the United Kingdom for a limited time . Reception ( edit ) The show has received critical acclaim throughout its run . Following a screening of the pilot episode for the media in February 2013 , Ben Pobjie from The Age called Wentworth `` a triumph '' . He praised the writing and the cast , saying `` So rarely in Australian TV do we see well - written characters collide with dead - on casting and tense , atmospheric direction as they have here . '' He added that Wentworth is `` a powerful , almost cinematic drama '' with its own identity , that incorporates `` echoes '' of the original Prisoner series . Holly Byrnes , writing for the Herald Sun , quipped `` this brilliant retelling picks up where the pioneering series left off and then takes the kind of shocking plot detours contemporary TV viewers would expect from award - winning US dramas like Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy . '' Byrnes also praised the cast 's performances , particularly Cormack . Following its North American debut the critics drew comparisons with US prison dramedy Orange Is the New Black , though Liz Raftery of TV Guide said she believed the show was more gritty and did not `` sugarcoat '' prison life . They branded it `` edge - of - your - seat television '' and singled out Sue ' Boomer ' Jenkins as one of the show 's standout characters and reasons to watch . Margaret Lyons from New York magazine called it a `` ruthlessly dark drama '' similar to Breaking Bad , a comparison which TV Guide 's critics also made . Lyons added that Wentworth 's careful plotting of storylines gave meaningful payoffs and triumphed into making it a `` smart and competent '' series . Gerard O'Donovan from The Daily Telegraph opined that the show has a cast of `` fabulously strong , variably humane female characters . '' They believed it did not try to appeal to `` mainstream tastes '' , adding `` the series sticks more closely to its violent , soapy , sexploitation Prisoner : Cell Block H roots than is strictly necessary in 2016 . '' O'Donovan branded it a rare example of fictional work portraying lesbianism as `` not only normal , but the norm . '' He concluded the show depicts a world in which `` women hold virtually all the power , albeit to no obviously edifying ends . '' Matt Baylis from the Daily Express criticised the show for not being original and having a `` mandatory number of unnecessary scenes '' . They preferred the original series Prisoner and accused Wentworth of being everything the original was not . The first episode of Wentworth attracted 244,000 viewers , making it the most watched Australian drama series premiere in Foxtel history . The UK premiere of the show attracted 1.67 million viewers , a 10.3 % share of the audience for the 10pm time slot .

Banquo - wikipedia Banquo Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the character in Shakespeare 's Macbeth . For the small town in the United States , see Banquo , Indiana . Banquo Thane of Lochaber Macbeth character Théodore Chassériau ( 1819 -- 1856 ) , The Ghost of Banquo 1855 Created by William Shakespeare Date ( s ) ca . 1603 -- 7 Source Holinshed 's Chronicles Information Family Fleance , James I Associate ( s ) Macbeth Quote `` Or have we eaten on the insane root That takes the reason prisoner ? '' Lord Banquo / ˈbæŋkwoʊ / , the Thane of Lochaber , is a character in William Shakespeare 's 1606 play Macbeth . In the play , he is at first an ally to Macbeth ( both are generals in the King 's army ) and they meet the Three Witches together . After prophesying that Macbeth will become king , the witches tell Banquo that he will not be king himself , but that his descendants will be . Later , Macbeth in his lust for power sees Banquo as a threat and has him murdered by two hired assassins ; Banquo 's son , Fleance , escapes . Banquo 's ghost returns in a later scene ( Banquet Scene ) , causing Macbeth to react with alarm during a public feast . Shakespeare borrowed the character of Banquo from Holinshed 's Chronicles , a history of Britain published by Raphael Holinshed in 1587 . In Chronicles Banquo is an accomplice to Macbeth in the murder of the king , rather than a loyal subject of the king who is seen as an enemy by Macbeth . Shakespeare may have changed this aspect of his character to please King James , who was thought at the time to be a descendant of the real Banquo . Critics often interpret Banquo 's role in the play as being a foil to Macbeth , resisting evil where Macbeth embraces it . Sometimes , however , his motives are unclear , and some critics question his purity . He does nothing to accuse Macbeth of murdering the king , even though he has reason to believe Macbeth is responsible . Contents ( hide ) 1 Sources 2 Role in the play 3 Analysis 3.1 Foil to Macbeth 3.2 Ghost scenes 4 Performances and interpretations 5 See also 6 References Sources ( edit ) See also : Holinshed 's Chronicles Macbeth and Banquo meeting the witches in a woodcut from Holinshed 's Chronicles Shakespeare often used Raphael Holinshed 's Chronicles of England , Scotland , and Ireland -- commonly known as Holinshed 's Chronicles -- as a source for his plays , and in Macbeth he borrows from several of the tales in that work . Holinshed portrays Banquo as a historical figure : he is an accomplice in Mac Bethad mac Findlaích 's ( Macbeth 's ) murder of Donnchad mac Crínáin ( King Duncan ) and plays an important part in ensuring that Macbeth , not Máel Coluim mac Donnchada ( Malcolm ) , takes the throne in the coup that follows . Holinshed in turn used an earlier work , the Scotorum Historiae ( 1526 -- 7 ) by Hector Boece , as his source . Boece 's work is the first known record of Banquo and his son Fleance ; and scholars such as David Bevington generally consider them fictional characters invented by Boece . In Shakespeare 's day , however , they were considered historical figures of great repute , and the king , James I , based his claim to the throne in part on a descent from Banquo . The House of Stuart was descended from Walter fitz Alan , Steward of Scotland , and he was believed to have been the grandson of Fleance and Gruffydd ap Llywelyn 's daughter , Nesta ferch Gruffydd . In reality Walter fitz Alan was the son of Alan fitz Flaad , a Breton knight . Unlike his sources , Shakespeare gives Banquo no role in the King 's murder , making it a deed committed solely by Macbeth and his wife . Why Shakespeare 's Banquo is so different from the character described by Holinshed and Boece is not known , though critics have proposed several possible explanations . First among them is the risk associated with portraying the king 's ancestor as a murderer and conspirator in the plot to overthrow a rightful king , as well as the author 's desire to flatter a powerful patron . But Shakespeare may also simply have altered Banquo 's character because there was no dramatic need for another accomplice to the murder . There was , however , a need to provide a dramatic contrast to Macbeth ; a role that many scholars argue is filled by Banquo . Similarly , when Jean de Schelandre wrote about Banquo in his Stuartide in 1611 , he also changed the character by portraying him as a noble and honourable man -- the critic D.W. Maskell describes him as `` ... Schelandre 's paragon of valour and virtue '' -- probably for reasons similar to Shakespeare 's . Banquo 's role in the coup that follows the murder is harder to explain . Banquo 's loyalty to Macbeth , rather than Malcolm , after Duncan 's death makes him a passive accomplice in the coup : Malcolm , as Prince of Cumberland , is the rightful heir to the throne and Macbeth a usurper . Daniel Amneus argued that Macbeth as it survives is a revision of an earlier play , in which Duncan granted Macbeth not only the title of Thane of Cawdor , but the `` greater honor '' of Prince of Cumberland ( i.e. heir to the throne of Scotland ) . Banquo 's silence may be a survival from the posited earlier play , in which Macbeth was the legitimate successor to Duncan . Role in the play ( edit ) Macbeth and Banquo with the Witches by Henry Fuseli Banquo is in a third of the play 's scenes , as both a human and a ghost . As significant as he is to the plot , he has fewer lines than the relatively insignificant Ross , a Scottish nobleman who survives the play . In the second scene of the play , King Duncan describes the manner in which Macbeth , Thane of Glamis , and Banquo , Thane of Lochaber , bravely led his army against invaders , fighting side by side . In the next scene , Banquo and Macbeth , returning from the battle together , encounter the Three Witches , who predict that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor , and then king . Banquo , sceptical of the witches , challenges them to predict his own future , and they foretell that Banquo will never himself take the throne , but will beget a line of kings . Banquo remains sceptical after the encounter , wondering aloud if evil can ever speak the truth . He warns Macbeth that evil will offer men a small , hopeful truth only to catch them in a deadly trap . When Macbeth kills the king and takes the throne , Banquo -- the only one aware of this encounter with the witches -- reserves judgment for God . He is unsure whether Macbeth committed regicide to gain the throne , but muses in a soliloquy that `` I fear / Thou play'dst most foully for ' t '' . He offers his respects to the new King Macbeth and pledges loyalty . Later , worried that Banquo 's descendants and not his own will rule Scotland , Macbeth sends two men , and then a Third Murderer , to kill Banquo and his son Fleance . During the melee , Banquo holds off the assailants so that Fleance can escape , but is himself killed . The ghost of Banquo later returns to haunt Macbeth at the banquet in Act Three , Scene Four . A terrified Macbeth sees him , while the apparition is invisible to his guests . He appears again to Macbeth in a vision granted by the Three Witches , wherein Macbeth sees a long line of kings descended from Banquo . Analysis ( edit ) Foil to Macbeth ( edit ) Macbeth and Banquo Meeting the Three Witches by John Wootton Many scholars see Banquo as a foil and a contrast to Macbeth . Macbeth , for example , eagerly accepts the Three Witches ' prophecy as true and seeks to help it along . Banquo , on the other hand , doubts the prophecies and the intentions of these seemingly evil creatures . Whereas Macbeth places his hope in the prediction that he will be king , Banquo argues that evil only offers gifts that lead to destruction . Banquo steadily resists the temptations of evil within the play , praying to heaven for help , while Macbeth seeks darkness , and prays that evil powers will aid him . This is visible in act two ; after Banquo sees Duncan to bed , he says : `` There 's husbandry in heaven , / Their candles are all out '' . This premonition of the coming darkness in association with Macbeth 's murders is repeated just before Banquo is killed : `` it will be rain to - night '' , Banquo tells his son Fleance . Banquo 's status as a contrast to Macbeth makes for some tense moments in the play . In act two , scene one , Banquo meets his son Fleance and asks him to take both his sword and his dagger ( `` Hold , take my sword ... Take thee that too '' ) . He also explains that he has been having trouble sleeping due to `` cursed thoughts that nature / gives way to in repose ! '' On Macbeth 's approach , he demands the sword returned to him quickly . Scholars have interpreted this to mean that Banquo has been dreaming of murdering the king as Macbeth 's accomplice to take the throne for his own family , as the Three Witches prophesied to him . In this reading , his good nature is so revolted by these thoughts that he gives his sword and dagger to Fleance to be sure they do not come true , but is so nervous at Macbeth 's approach that he demands them back . Other scholars have responded that Banquo 's dreams have less to do with killing the king and more to do with Macbeth . They argue that Banquo is merely setting aside his sword for the night . Then , when Macbeth approaches , Banquo , having had dreams about Macbeth 's deeds , takes back his sword as a precaution in this case . Macbeth eventually sees that Banquo can no longer be trusted to aid him in his evil , and considers his friend a threat to his newly acquired throne . Thus he has him murdered . Banquo 's ability to live on in different ways is another oppositional force , in this case to Macbeth 's impending death . His spirit lives on in Fleance , his son , and in his ghostly presence at the banquet . Ghost scenes ( edit ) When Macbeth returns to the witches later in the play , they show him an apparition of the murdered Banquo , along with eight of his descendants . The scene carries deep significance : King James , on the throne when Macbeth was written , was believed to be separated from Banquo by nine generations . What Shakespeare writes here thus amounts to a strong support of James ' right to the throne by lineage , and for audiences of Shakespeare 's day , a very real fulfilment of the witches ' prophecy to Banquo that his sons would take the throne . This apparition is also deeply unsettling to Macbeth , who not only wants the throne for himself , but also desires to father a line of kings . Banquo 's other appearance as a ghost during the banquet scene serves as an indicator of Macbeth 's conscience returning to plague his thoughts . Banquo 's triumph over death appears symbolically , insofar as he literally takes Macbeth 's seat during the feast . Shocked , Macbeth uses words appropriate to the metaphor of usurpation , describing Banquo as `` crowned '' with wounds . The spirit drains Macbeth 's manhood along with the blood from his cheeks ; as soon as Banquo 's form vanishes , Macbeth announces : `` Why , so ; being gone , / I am a man again . '' Like the vision of Banquo 's lineage , the banquet scene has also been the subject of criticism . Critics have questioned whether not one , but perhaps two ghosts appear in this scene : Banquo and Duncan . Scholars arguing that Duncan attends the banquet state that Macbeth 's lines to the Ghost could apply equally well to the slain king . `` Thou canst not say I did it '' , for example , can mean that Macbeth is not the man who actually killed Banquo , or it can mean that Duncan , who was asleep when Macbeth killed him , can not claim to have seen his killer . To add to the confusion , some lines Macbeth directs to the ghost , such as `` Thy bones are marrowless '' , can not rightly be said of Banquo , who has only recently died . Scholars debate whether Macbeth 's vision of Banquo is real or a hallucination . Macbeth had already seen a hallucination before murdering Duncan : a knife hovering in the air . Several performances of the play have even ignored the stage direction to have the Ghost of Banquo enter at all , heightening the sense that Macbeth is growing mad , since the audience can not see what he claims to see . Scholars opposing this view claim that while the dagger is unusual , ghosts of murdered victims are more believable , having a basis in the audience 's superstitions . Spirits in other Shakespeare plays -- notably Hamlet and Midsummer Night 's Dream -- exist in ambiguous forms , occasionally even calling into question their own presence . The concept of a character being confronted at a triumphant feast with a reminder of their downfall is not unique to Shakespeare and may originate from the Belshazzar 's feast episode of the Bible . The term ' ghost at the feast ' has entered popular culture , and is often used as a metaphor for a subject a person would rather avoid considering , or ( considering the general plot of Macbeth ) a reminder of a person 's unpleasant past or likely future . Performances and interpretations ( edit ) Canada Lee as Banquo in the Federal Theatre Project production of Macbeth ( 1936 ) Banquo 's role , especially in the banquet ghost scene , has been subject to a variety of interpretations and mediums . Shakespeare 's text states : `` Enter Ghost of Banquo , and sits in Macbeth 's place . '' Several television versions have altered this slightly , having Banquo appear suddenly in the chair , rather than walking onstage and into it . Special effects and camera tricks also allow producers to make the ghost disappear and reappear , highlighting the fact that only Macbeth can see it . Stage directors , unaided by post-production effects and camera tricks , have used other methods to depict the ghost . In the late 19th century , elaborate productions of the play staged by Henry Irving employed a wide variety of approaches for this task . In 1877 a green silhouette was used to create a ghostlike image ; ten years later a trick chair was used to allow an actor to appear in the middle of the scene , and then again from the midst of the audience . In 1895 a shaft of blue light served to indicate the presence of Banquo 's spirit . In 1933 a Russian director named Theodore Komisarjevsky staged a modern retelling of the play ( Banquo and Macbeth were told of their future through palmistry ) ; he used Macbeth 's shadow as the ghost . In 1936 Orson Welles directed the Federal Theatre Project production of the play , with an African - American cast that included Canada Lee in the role of Banquo . Film adaptations have approached Banquo 's character in a variety of ways . Akira Kurosawa 's 1957 adaptation Throne of Blood makes the character into Capitan Miki ( played by Minoru Chiaki ) , slain by Macbeth 's equivalent ( Captain Washizu ) when his wife explains that she is with child . News of Miki 's death does not reach Washizu until after he has seen the ghost in the banquet scene . In Roman Polanski 's 1971 adaptation , Banquo is played by acclaimed stage actor Martin Shaw , in a style reminiscent of earlier stage performances . Polanski 's version also emphasises Banquo 's objection to Macbeth 's ascendency by showing him remaining silent as the other thanes around him hail Macbeth as king . in the 1990 telling of Macbeth in a New York Mafia crime family setting , Men of Respect , the character of Banquo is named `` Bankie Como '' and played by American actor Dennis Farina .
