After being shot and left for dead by Villanelle (Jodie Comer) in Rome, season three finds Eve (Sandra Oh) working as a chef and reflecting on her now rather aimless life, while the glamorous assassin is also indulging in some soul-searching with a new Spanish wife. It’s not long, however, before Eve’s obsession with Villanelle resurfaces, setting her on an inevitable collision course with her nemesis... With a new writer onboard (Suzanne Heathcote, Fear the Walking Dead ) to shake things

The first half of Wentworth ’s penultimate season finds the prison staff and inmates picking up the pieces of their lives following the bloody siege that concluded season seven. New boss Ann Reynolds (Jane Hall) wants to get rid of Will, while Vera must choose between motherhood and returning to work. Former top dog Lou Kelly (Kate Box) arrives with her transgender partner Reb (Zoe Terakes) and is offered a murderous deal by Marie, who has been made a scapegoat for the siege. And British newcomer

up, this season shifts the focus to Villanelle and also offers a meatier story arc for Eve’s former boss, Carolyn (the superb Fiona Shaw), and Villanelle’s old-school handler (Kim Bodnia). Episodes five and six are helmed by Aussie director Shannon Murphy ( Babyteeth ). BS

Judy Bryant (Vivienne Awosoga) – a hacker of the Julian Assange variety – stirs things up by inciting a hunger strike. But most exciting of all is the return of the vengeful Joan Ferguson with a chilling warning: “They have no idea what’s coming.” Get ready to get your Freak on! BS
