"Wentworth" Season 5 release date is still a long way off. Yet, the upcoming season has become a subject of intense speculations among fans with a number of "Wentworth" Season 5 spoilers dedicating to the possibility of Bea being alive or dead.
Fans Cling To The Possibility That Bea Is Alive
Despite what they've witnessed in the season 4 finale, there are some fans who still cling to the hope that Bea might still be alive when "Wentworth" Season 5 release date arrives next year. It does not really matter how Bea's survival is justified, the important thing for these Bea Smith fans is that they get to see Bea alive next season.
In fact, some fans are hoping that Bea could just be in a coma after the stabbing as this Reddit discussion shows. Following this speculation even further, fans say that when "Wentworth" Season 5 release finally arrives, Bea Smith could just be in a hospital recuperating.
Of course, "Wentworth" Season 5 fans take inspiration from several shows which led their audiences to believe that a major character died in a season finale only to be revealed alive the next season. A prime example would be Liz Keen's death which she staged herself in the "The Blacklist." Another example is Jon Snow's death in "Game of Thrones," although Snow was brought back to life by supernatural means which is not unusual in GoT because the show is a fantasy series.
Executive Producer Confirms Bea Won't Be Back 'Wentworth' Season 5 Releases
However, "Wentworth" Season 5 EP Jo Porter already confirmed that Bea is indeed dead and won't be coming back. In fact, it was previously reported by GamenGuide that the producers had a hard time reaching the decision to kill Bea Smith in the story. Bea is a well-loved character and planning her death also meant losing a superb actress in the person of Danielle Cormack.
Of course, fans could always decide to cling to that hope. All will be revealed in due time when "Wentworth" Season 5 release date comes next year. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for updates.
