 In September 2013 it was announced that Rabe would be cast in the Australian prison drama series, "Wentworth", a reimagining of the classic Network Ten soap opera "Prisoner".She joined "Wentworth" in Season Two as sadistic prison governor Joan "The Freak" Ferguson, a role originally played by Maggie Kirkpatrick in "Prisoner".Rabe as Ferguson is seen as intimidating and evil and often uses a clever, non-physical approach in a way to control and manipulate the prisoners and officers alike, with little need for violence, unlike Kirkpatrick's character, who mainly resorted to violence.
