According to TV Tonight, the Foxtel drama will be renewed for another 20 episodes, taking the series to a total of 100 episodes since it's debut in 2013.

As previously reported on WHO, there were several reports that the FOX Showcase series was axed. However, as a result, avid fans launched a petition to "Save Wentworth” and an early priority for incoming Fremantle CEO Chris Oliver-Taylor.
