During the interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Leyva hinted of some major changes in the upcoming installment and said, "Nothing will ever, ever be the same." According to the actress, the inmates who survived the three-day riot will live in a totally different world in season 6, and this is going to be tough for fans since they have already become so used to the Litchfield Penitentiary.
Meanwhile, Beth Dover, who plays Linda Ferguson in the series, revealed in a separate interview that her character might be one of those people calling for change in the next installment. By the end of season 5, people mistakenly thought that the former low-key woman from the Purchasing Department was an inmate. The actress said that when the series returns, fans will likely not be seeing the sociopath woman that Linda was in season 4.
"Orange is the New Black" season 6 will return in 2018 on Netflix.
