Details about the upcoming season of the hit Netflix series "Orange Is the New Black" have been revealed by the cast.

Even though the third season of "Orange Is the New Black" ended with an uplifting scene, there are still many questions to be answered in the upcoming season. With that, stars from the series have shared some details about season 4.

Danielle Brooks, who portrays the role of Tasha Jefferson, better known as Taystee, revealed some teasers for "Orange Is the New Black" season 4 during an interview with Vogue. First off, she explained that her character will be having some realizations in the episodes to come. Now that she is the one to assume Vee's role in the precinct, fans will be able to see how she will deal with her new responsibilities.

In addition, she explained that the upcoming season will be intense, and different from the previous seasons. She said that new inmates will be entering the precinct, as seen in the finale, which will cause the prison to overpopulate. She said, "This season is going to be epic. It's one of the best that they have written so far. There are some surprises that are going to tear you in half."

Another actress of the series also shared some spoilers for season 4. According to TV Guide, Laura Prepon, who takes on the role of Alex, explained that she will be returning. The previous season ended with fans not knowing if Alex was still going to be alive after being attacked. However, Prepon stated that the attack will change her character. She said, "I don't think you're going to see a more timid side of Alex. If anything, she's justified in her paranoia. ... That empowers her, in my opinion."

Despite her new personality, Prepon said that something that will remain the same is the connection between Piper and Alex. Prepon added, "You can't control where your heart goes, and Alex and Piper will always have a connection."

"Orange Is the New Black" season 4 is expected to return on Netflix this 2016.
