In Season 1, we’re introduced to the prison and key characters including resident bully Tyson and matriarch MaZet. Later, we’ll meet prison governor Deborah Banda, who’s no less criminal than the worst of her charges.

Sophie Lichaba joins the cast of Lockdown S5 as a psychiatric nurse, and all your favourites (or at least, the ones who survived) also return for what promises to be the best season ever.
