'Orange Is the New Black' Spoilers: Release Date Revealed
Fans of "Orange Is the New Black" will be happy to know that a release date for the upcoming season has been released.
It was stated that the inmates of Litchfield will be making their way to Netflix this summer. With that, reports stated that the fourth season of "Orange Is the New Black" will be centered on tackling issues regarding diversity, race, and overcrowding in prisons.
The creator of "Orange Is the New Black," Jenji Kohan, shared some details about the upcoming season during the Television Critics Association press tour. She stated, "The theme thing was hard this year. We start with political agendas, the corporatization of the prison, the stratification of people into their little mosaic groups."
She also stated that they had difficulty dealing with the theme of the season. They began dealing with political agendas, in order to form the storyline of the series. Nevertheless, she explained that the season will bring some exciting new twists to the story.
She said, "We want it to be a surprise, but [you can expect] all the fun stuff like race and hate and some things from current events that we wanted to filter through our lens."
Kohan also shared some details about the characters of the series. She explained that Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling, will be going through some changes when the series returns. She hinted that she will become a less likable character in the upcoming return. This could be due to her new underground business that provides men with women inmates underwear.
Kohan added, "I think Piper's definitely on a journey. We work through the vicissitudes of likability."
Apart from Piper, several other characters are also expected to go through many changes. It was reported that the dynamics in the precinct will be changing, especially since there will be new characters in season 4.
"Orange Is the New Black" season 4 will be available on Netflix this June 17.
