Netflix has come forward to announce the three-season extension of Jenji Cohen’s Orange is the New Black. The fans welcomed the news and are now patiently waiting for updates on the fifth season of Orange is the New Black.
The inmates of Litchfield will be back in action, and University Herald has given a scoop on what fans can expect from Orange is the New Black Season 5. Most of the original characters will be back for Season 5.
Rumors suggest that Lolly will be back in Season 5 of Orange is the New Black. Lolly was shifted to the psyche ward at the end of Season 4.
Lori Petty, the actress who plays the role of Lolly Whitehill, is excited about making a comeback in the series. She isn’t sure about Lolly’s storyline yet but is confident that the writers will get her back.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lori Petty informed fans that since Season 4 had ended in mayhem, the writers have a lot on their hands right now. The Season 4 finale showed Taystee (Danielle Brooks) gathering the inmates to go against Caputo (Nick Sandow) and Piscatella (Brad William Henke).
Taystee’s best friend, Poussey (Samira Wiley) lost her life during a prison protest, and things heat up at Litchfield after that. According to Popsugar, Orange is the New Black Season 5 will see another character being killed off.
Given the recent trend of character deaths in the show, viewers feel that Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) might not survive the upcoming season. Season 4 showed her making enemies after she became manipulative.
Piper found herself in a tight situation at the end of Season 4, and things might get worse for her in Orange is the New Black Season 5.
Netflix hasn’t officially announced the release date for Orange is the New Black Season 5. According to Inquisitr, since the news of the renewal was made early, the show is likely to follow the previous seasons and come out in June 2017. Showrunner Jenji Kohen will continue for Season 5.
There are a lot of pressing questions that the fans want to find answers to. The finale of Season 4 had shown Daya (Dascha Polanco) pointing a gun at a guard. The season ended without showing what Daya would do next.
Viewers feel Daya’s actions might extend her time in prison. Daya’s mother, Aleida (Elizabeth Rodriguez) got out of jail in Season 4. Without a job and money, she is forced to put up with Cesar’s new girlfriend.
Viewers feel that Aleida might end up going back to prison in Orange is the New Black Season 5. Taystee returned to prison as well since she couldn’t do anything in the outside world. Aleida will hear about the situation in Litchfield and realize that she could be of help to Daya if she goes back in.
The mother-daughter never shared a good relationship. However, things get better towards the end of Season 4 and Season 5 of Orange is the New Black might take that relationship forward.
Orange is the New Black is based on Piper Kerman’s 2010 autobiography called, ‘Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison.’ The narrative follows her story while she did time inside a maximum security federal prison for women.
In other news from Orange is the New Black, writer/producer, Lauren Morelli and Samira Wiley are engaged. The two are proud members of the LGBT community and recently shared the news of their engagement on social media.
