Boomer Jenkins is back, but her fresh start outside prison is far from smooth sailing in the first look at BINGE’s new Wentworth spin-off Halfway Home.
The spin-off was first teased at the Wentworth Con fan event in late 2024, before being officially confirmed at the 2026 AACTA Awards, with production commencing in Melbourne in July.
BINGE revealed the first look and additional cast members last month, with the newly released trailer confirming the series’ December premiere and offering a further glimpse of Boomer’s life at Sal’s Halfway House.
