Wentworth’s executive producer Penny Win said in a release: “It’s hard to believe we are already rolling the cameras on season seven of Wentworth. “It feels like only yesterday we were reintroducing Foxtel viewers to such iconic characters like Bea Smith and ‘The Freak’ Joan Ferguson. “The way in which our audience, both locally and internationally, has embraced and connected with the show goes to prove that people will watch, embrace, love and continue to support quality Australian drama. “The on-going global success of Wentworth truly comes down to the inspired writing and the talented cast and crew who keep raising the bar every season, and to the legion of loyal fans who tell us how much they love it.”

Who will be in Wentworth season 7? Wentworth season seven was filmed back-to-back with the sixth run, so it’s likely that there will be a similar cast for the new episodes.

So, season seven could see Leah Purcell as Rita Connors, Susie Porter as Marie Winter and Rarriwuy Hick as Ruby Mitchell. The fate of Joan "The Freak" Ferguson seemed uncertain in season six but Pamela Rabe could be back. Other cast members likely to be returning include Robbie J. Magasiva as Will Jackson, Katrina Milosevic as Susan "Boomer" Jenkins, Tammy MacIntosh as Karen "Kaz" Proctor, Kate Jenkinson as Allie Novak and Bernard Curry as Jake Stewart.
