Weiner sitting on the director's chair of "Orange Is the New Black" would mean no spoilers or hints being leaked. He is known to stay mum when asked about a certain project he is working on. The director has not released a comment on this project, but reports say he loves it.
Meanwhile, Weiner is not the only special guest director for "Orange Is the New Black" season 4 because Jodie Foster, Nicole Holofcener, and Allison Anders are also of the same rank, Christian Today reports.
For "Orange Is the New Black" star Laura Prepon, Weiner is a great director because he knows exactly what he wants to achieve, UpRoxx says. The actress also said Weiner knows how to handle a cast as huge as theirs.
"We filmed a huge day on Sunday, and a lot of directors might have been overwhelmed by that, but he wasn't and he knew exactly what he wanted to do," RT quotes Prepon's statement. "... I love Matt — he's awesome."
Prepon, however, did not give a hint about the plot of the episode that Weiner is directing. However, she mentioned that her character is about to get into trouble, the report relays.
"Orange Is the New Black" season 4 is set to air sometime in 2016.
