An immersive 360° narrative expansion of the globally acclaimed TV series Wentworth — stepping fans directly inside one of Australia's most-watched dramas.
Wentworth VR is transmedia strategy with cinematic discipline — not a gimmick but a narrative extension that deepens fan connection to the series universe. Directed by Michael Beets for Foxtel and Fremantle, this 360° experience required broadcast-quality cinematography, spatial audio design, and the creative precision to honour an established narrative world while building something genuinely new. Melbourne 360 video production operating at its most demanding scale.
"Bridging the gap between traditional broadcast and digital audience engagement — fans inside the world of the show."
— Project BriefProduced by StartVR, Michael Beets directed this high-stakes immersive experience under strict IP parameters set by Foxtel and Fremantle Media. Working within a major television franchise demands the highest level of creative fidelity — every visual decision had to feel continuous with the series while simultaneously opening up the space for genuine VR exploration.
The result is a cinematic VR narrative that allowed fans to step into the world of Wentworth — not as passive observers, but as participants inhabiting the physical space of the show. The production required deep IP management expertise, tight collaboration with the series showrunners, and a complete understanding of how to translate a flat-screen narrative grammar into immersive 360° storytelling.
