Netflix has finally revealed the official premiere date of "Orange Is the New Black" season 4.
During the streaming service provider's appearance at the recently concluded Television Critics Association's winter press tour, Netflix revealed that the inmates from Litchfield Penitentiary will be back for the fourth season of "Orange Is the New Black" on June 17.
The announcement came with a promo video that teases what is in store for season 4. While the teaser does not give specific details regarding the upcoming season, it still shows that the inmates will welcome new prisoners when the shows begins to air.
Series creator Jenji Kohan and some of the cast of the show revealed several tidbits regarding "Orange Is the New Black" season 4 during the press panel.
"The theme thing was hard this year. Sometimes we start with political agendas, the corporatization of the prison, the stratification of the people into their little mosaic pieces within the prison," Kohan told the press. "I can't tell you much more than that because we want it to be a surprise but all the fun stuff like race and hate and some things from current events that we want to sort of filter through our lens. But I'm just going to be vague about it."
Meanwhile, new cast member Blair Brown teased that the upcoming season will bring the different groups to the penitentiary together. "Alliances that happen are unexpected," the actress, who will portray the role of new character Judy King, revealed.
The upcoming season of "Orange Is the New Black" will also deal with the developments in Piper's (Taylor Schilling) life, particularly after her underwear business becomes highly successful. The teaser also reveals that Nicky (Natasha Lyonne) seems to be out of the Maximum Security when the series returns for season 4.
