Home and Away: All or Nothing is a television film and spin-off of the Australian soap opera Home and Away. It was written by Louise Bowes and directed by Arnie Custo. All or Nothing premiered on 26 January 2017 (Australia Day) on Foxtel on Demand, Foxtel Play and Presto. It was commissioned along with Home and Away: Revenge following the success of the 2015 telefilm Home and Away: An Eye for an Eye, which broke Presto streaming records. All or Nothing is a sequel to Revenge and like the previous specials it features current and returning Home and Away cast members.
The plot sees Trevor Gunson (Diarmid Heidenreich) instigate a prison riot, as he tries to kill Kyle Braxton (Nic Westaway) and his brother Heath Braxton (Dan Ewing), who is visiting along with his wife Bianca Scott (Lisa Gormley). Ewing said the plot was about survival and he found it to be darker than regular episodes of Home and Away. All or Nothing was shot on-location at Maitland Gaol and Parramatta Correctional Centre, a setting that Ewing described as claustrophobic. The special received a positive response from critics, and Colin Vickery of The Daily Telegraph dubbed it "the bloodiest episode ever seen of the hit Aussie soapie".
