'Orange is the New Black' Season 5 Coming Soon: What to Expect From the New Netflix Installment
The cast and crew of "Orange is the New Black" season 5 are hard at work, and there are definitely lots of things to look forward to when the show returns. One of these is the highly anticipated return of Lolly.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter last year, Lori Petty sounded pretty sure that her character will be back despite being sent to the Psych ward. When asked if Lolly would make a comeback for "Orange is the New Black" season 5, Petty said: "I certainly hope so. I do think we will. I can't say for sure, but I absolutely think we will."
In season 4 of the hit Netflix series, Lolly killed the assassin who was sent to get rid of Alex (Laura Prepon). Troubled with the act of killing and burying the dead body, Lolly started talking to herself. The correction officers then discovered that the words she had been mumbling all happened in real life.
