‘Orange Is the New Black’ Season 5 To Take Place Within 3 Days

"Orange Is the New Black" Season 5 will take place within 3 days after the riot cliffhanger in Season 4. Netflix has since renewed the critically-acclaimed series for Season 6 and 7.

In a 15-second teaser, "Orange Is the New Black" Season 5 teased glimpses of Daya, Maria, Red, Morello, Taystee, Flaca, Nicky Alex, Piper and Nicky. In Season 4, fan favorite character Poussey (Samira Wiley) was accidentally suffocated by Bayley and eventually died during a protest.
