'Orange is the New Black' Wraps Production for Good
by EG
Orange is the New Black still has another season to air, but one final milestone has been reached: the series wrapped production this week on its final season. Netflix canceled OITNB last year. Read on for details.
Orange Is the New Black has locked up its Litchfield set for the last time.
The veteran Netflix series wrapped production on its seventh and final season on Tuesday, and the cast of Jenji Kohan's prison dramedy has been marking the bittersweet milestone on social media.
Kohan shared an image of the final cast and crew photo taken on the New York set (in what looks to be the Litchfield Max setting of season six). Video of the moment was shared by castmember Vicci Martinez on her Instagram story.
The creator and showrunner captioned the group shot of her ensemble cast and crew, "This is a family. #OITNB." Kohan has been counting down the days on her Instagram account, sharing set photos with the cast and writers.
Natasha Lyonne shared that on the last shot "a guttural sound came out of me, like some wounded animal." Danielle Brooks documented her final ride to set in an Instagram story and, in the last weeks of filming, shared that the script for the penultimate episode "f**ked me up."
Uzo Aduba posted an OITNB montage to the tune of Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" on her Instagram story, and Taylor Schilling marked Tuesday's end by writing, "WHOA. My heart is full and achey and so overflowing with gratitude, I’m a little dizzy."
