Danielle Brooks

Orange Is the New Black Season 5 undoubtedly belonged to Danielle Brooks’ Taystee, but the finale cliffhanger(s) left unclear where the vast majority of characters might end up. Taystee will at least return, but Brooks isn’t sure she’ll stick with the series past a certain point.

If you weren’t still crying over the absence of Poussey from Orange Is the New Black Season 5, a trip to “San Junipero” might get you there. Heaven is once again a place on Earth, as a new joint Orange and Black Mirror parody reunites Poussey and Taystee.

We still don’t know for sure whether Orange Is the New Black begins with as big a bang in Season 5 as we left, but Litchfield is ready to explode all the same. See for yourself, as the inmates stand up and take over in the first full trailer for Season 5, along with new photos.

Surprised though we were to learn that Orange Is the New Black Season 5 would take place over a condensed timeline, our first extended look is even more urgent. Check back in on that finale cliffhanger with a new Season 5 clip, and see the first photos!

Netflix has made unexpected habit of pushing back release dates for its returning favorites, but not Orange Is the New Black. Our three-day return sentence to Litchfield is officially set to begin in June, so there’s no need to riot.

Orange Is the New Black Season 4 left us on a more immediate cliffhanger than we’re used to, and it seems Season 5 won’t be losing that level of intensity. Star Danielle Brooks claims the whole of Season 5 will unfurl over just a few days; presumably picking up with the in-progress riot of Season 4.

The additions and departures of Netflix's 'Orange is the New Black' season 2 not withstanding, it seems criminal how long we'll have to wait for any new episodes. Thankfully, HBO's 'Girls' season 3 will bring us a Taystee treat earlier on in 2014, sentencing 'Orange is the New Black' favorite Danielle Brooks to the Lena Dunham-scripted comedy in season 3!
