'Orange Is the New Black' Season 6 Release Date, Spoilers: Fans to Be Treated With a Much Better Run, Not Everyone Will Be Back
"Orange Is the New Black" season 6 is expected to be much better than the previous season, which creator Jenji Kohan admits was not their best.
In an interview with New Yorker, Kohan and her co-producer Tara Herrmann believe that the decrease in quality might have something to do with the shake-up in the writing department. Hermann stated:
We had lost a bunch of the original writers. It wasn't anyone's fault. It was just a new dynamic—people were attached to the characters as viewers, not as creators.
Kohan went on to say that some of the plots in the previous season of "Orange Is the New Black" were "fan fictions." Their remarks have fans hopeful that season 6 will be miles better since the two recognize what went wrong and are both willing to get things back on track.
As to what the new season will be all about, it was hinted during the interview that it might feature references to President Donald Trump and his rise to power.
"Orange Is the New Black" season 6 will also show the repercussions of the events in the previous season, which saw the inmates sent to different prisons.
Adrienne C. Moore, who plays Cindy, teased to The Hollywood Reporter:
Toward the end of season 5, there were some people that were agreeing to stick together, and there were some people that were looking out for themselves. We'll see the repercussions of those decisions in this next season.
The situation that the inmates find themselves in has many under the impression that not everyone will be back in "Orange Is the New Black" season 6.
It is speculated that Maritza might not be back since Diane Guerrero, who plays the character, was tapped for a series regular role in the upcoming CBS sitcom "Superior Donuts."
"Orange Is the New Black" season 6 is now in production and is expected to premiere sometime next year.
