The absence of confirmation about "Wentworth" season 5 is leading to countless rumors and fan theories. The speculations have escalated further when the death of the fan favorite character, Bea Smith, has been confirmed by executive producer Jo Polard earlier this year. With ratings predicted to slump down on the drama flick's return, rumors about Liam Hemsworth's casting and the cameo of Bea in her younger version surfaced.
While fans are still hopeful that Bea (Danielle Cormack) survived her supposed brutal death on "Wentworth" season 4, Cormack and Polard have already confirmed that the character's death is final. Fans have then been expressing their dismay that even led to the speculation that the show is already canceled. However, news went out confirming the series' renewal for a fifth installment. This has then triggered theories on how the show will run with or without Bea.

Showrunners of the hit Australian crime drama might have killed its main character, but talks have it that season 5 will not have to totally eliminate Bea. With Allie Novack already back from her comatose body, fans are expecting flashbacks featuring her and Bea. Allie is yet to find out about her lover's death hence, season 5 is speculated to show her reminiscing her romance with the prison's Top Dog. Some theories even note on the show going into details of how Bea died and this is said to happen as Allie seeks justice for the former's demise.
Some fans claim that Cormack's departure from the show is for her "Deep Water" project. The 45-year-old actress might have expressed her excitement about the new season, but rumors have it that the spotlight now turns to Allie.
Liam Hemsworth Boards "Wentworth" Season 5?
As mentioned, ratings of the show are expected to significantly drop down, following Bea's death. Rumors then went out that Liam Hemsworth is about to join the cast and this is speculated to boost the show's ratings. Adding a popular Hollywood hunk at the same time is said to attract more viewers even without Cormack on the show. While the actor's casting is not yet confirmed, fans are already debating on what role he is about to take.
