Big Changes Coming for 'Orange is the New Black'
by EG
Orange is the New Black might indeed be getting a makeover when it returns for its sixth season.
A cliffhanger finale left the fate of 10 fan-favorite characters up in the air, as well as the possibility that Litchfield Penitentiary would no longer serve as home to the prisoners on the Netflix dramedy. The fifth season told the story of a prison riot — stretching across all 13 episodes — incited by the murder of inmate Poussey Washington (Samira Wiley), that culminated in the prisoners losing their season-long standoff in devastating fashion. As riot police blew up a bunker holding the 10 prisoners in question, the rest of the inmates were bussed off to two undisclosed prisons — presumably taking the series to new locations and possibly without its entire lineup of core characters.
"I'm always excited about every season and what's going to happen, but this season, I feel like it’s an amazing facelift," Orange star Adrienne C. Moore said while stopping by The Hollywood Reporter's offices. Moore, who plays Black Cindy, is one of the 10 prisoners in the bunker.
