The Litchfield crew will soon grace our television screens on June 9. On Wednesday, Netflix announced that Season 5 for “Orange Is The New Black” will premiere on the first week of June.
The Hollywood Reporter said in the new 15-second teaser, everyone appears affected from the aftermath of Poussey’s (Samira Wiley) death, and Daya (Dascha Polanco) holding the gun amidst what could be a start of a prison-wide riot. The teaser showcased a range of emotions from the main cast, which includes Alex (Laura Prepon), Piper (Taylor Schilling), Nicky (Natasha Lyonne), Flaca (Jackie Cruz), Taystee (Danielle Brooks), Lorna (Yael Stone), Cindy (Adrienne C. Moore), Maria (Jessica Pimentel), Red (Kate Mulgrew) and Gloria (Selenis Leyva). Although Laverne Cox is absent in the teaser, she is set to appear on Season 5.
Here’s a recap of the cliffhanger episode in Season 4:
“After the provocative death of fan-favorite character Poussey — who was accidentally suffocated by Bayley (Alan Aisenberg), a white guard, during a protest — her body was left on the floor for a day and her death was covered up, prompting a grieving Taystee to incite the inmates to riot. Enraged by the abuse at the hands of the new guards, Daya gets a hold of one of the guard's guns and points it back at him, leaving viewers to wonder if she will pull the trigger and where the timely Netflix dramedy will ricochet come season five.”
Although details surrounding Season 5 have been slim online, Brooks has since shared in an interview with E! that Season 5 will take place in the first three days following the cliffhanger finale of the last season. She also said that the storyline would be “very detailed, very intense.”
It is also to note that the captions alongside the teaser were ominous at the very least. On YouTube, the caption read, "Things will never be the same." On Twitter, it came with a comment that read, "There's no turning back."
