"Orange Is the New Black" is still several months away from being aired, but spoilers about the show's new plot keep on surfacing left and right. 

Recently, series writer Lauren Morelli granted an interview with the Pittsburgh City Paper . At that time, the writer talked about what is in store for the Netflix original series. 

According to Morelli, the new season of "Orange Is the New Black" will feature a lighter theme compared to season 2. 

"Season two was really dark and I think we really were excited about playing with this antagonist of Vee and seeing what that force would do to the characters we started to love over a season. I think season three is sort of a natural rebound from that darkness. Some of the joy comes back to Litchfield that was lost," the writer said. 

Also, the third season is expected to provide the answers to some questions that were left hanging in season 2. Fans would like to know what is next for Daya (Dascha Polanco) after she gives birth, Caputo's (Nick Sandow) quest to become a warden, as well as Piper's (Taylor Schilling) search for true love. According to BreatheCast, all the answers to these questions will be tackled in season 3. 

This is especially true for Piper and Alex's (Laura Prepon) relationship. In an interview with The Daily Mail, Prepon talked about how the couple will deal with their feelings for each other next season. 

"The thing that's so interesting about Alex and Piper is that they totally love each other, but they also look out for themselves," she said. "It's this constant power struggle between the two of them. And then at the end of Season Two, Piper does a major power play. And you wonder, is it because she totally loves this girl, or is it because she's just getting her back?" 

"Orange Is the New Black" season 3 is slated to premiere on June 12.
