Orange Is the New Black is an American comedy-drama television series created by Jenji Kohan, which premiered on July 11, 2013, on Netflix.The series, based on Piper Kerman's memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison (2010), follows Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a happily engaged New Yorker who is sent to a women's federal prison for transporting a suitcase full of drug. While Piper and her pals are caught up in this cell block by cell block gang war, the guards are playing a pretty disgusting game called “fantasy inmate” where they collect points based on events that happen in the prison. What was unique to season 6 was its main story arc focusing on two completely new characters, Carol and Barbara, and their long-lasting feud. Piper and Alex’s wedding was one of the pure highlights of the season, but of course a lot of crazy had to go down before we got there.

Piper wouldn’t have even been at Litchfield if it wasn’t for Alex, and she’d probably be married to Barry with kids. What happened last season?īiggest news of all is we got a wedding! Alex and Piper have had quite the relationship with one another. We’d like to hope for the best for our girls, but this is Orange after all and it usually gets pretty bad before we see any good come along. Then there’s Blanca who was swiped up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That being said, their lives are nowhere near perfect. For starters, what is going to happen to Piper? She was granted early release after marrying Alex in prison so will she come back to visit Alex at Litchfield or will she be vacant from season 7? Other inmates we’re worried about include the very pregnant Lorna who looked like she was in serious pain in the season 6 finale.

We got to keep all our favorites even if there was a brutal stabbing in the finale. Lucky for us all, none of our beloved characters died last season (still R.I.P. Then again, it is the final season so maybe we can get a little more of our favorite characters (hopefully not any less than 13 episodes though). So why would season 7 be any different?
