Wentworth Prison

Filming for series 8 Part 1 (Part A) and 2 (Part B) went into production in late October 2019 and wrapped filming early September 2020, with both series filmed back-to-back. Production finished filming in early September after a break in production due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When filming wrapped on 4th September available members of the cast and crew received gifts which included a placard for the cast's four actors who had been there on set since day one Kate Atkinson (Vera Bennett), Jacquie Brennan (Linda Miles), Robbie Magasiva (Will Jackson) and Katrina Milosevic (Boomer Jenkins) known as the 'OG Four' and the '100 Club', the crew originals included Peter Sidell, Kate Saunders, Adrian Dalton, Paris Smith, Lana Williams, Simon Hawkins, Michael Melis, Margot McCarthy and series producers Penny Win and Jo Porter.

No one would send a former prison officer to the prison they worked at as an officer, let alone the governor. The offending officer would be sent to another prison and placed into protection for their own safety.

During the series finale of Season 7, it was expected that the series was ending for good, with an alternate ending filmed. This ending showed three inmates walking into the compound from the series predecessor Prisoner Cell Block H. With another scene with Vera with baby Grace, Franky and Bridget. Both scenes were deleted when the series received its renewal.
