"Orange is the New Black" season 4 is slated to air in June 2016 and while that may be a long wait, spoilers do exist. Although most of the rumors are still muddy, there are safe assumptions to be made. Fans who are searching for closure of some of season 3's biggest storyline baits might get some worthwhile clues after all. 

Matt McGorry as John Bennett Netflix

"OITNB" season 3 saw John Bennett (Matt McGorry) walking away from the woman he loves and their newborn baby. The question many people are asking is what ever happened to John? McGorry's earlier interview with Yahoo! revealed some things about the sketchy future of John Benenett in the show. 

"The thing that I can say about Season 4 is that it's the writers' decision about whether or not Bennett is back... I have my fingers crossed that he comes through and is the man that we all hoped he was. But I wouldn't be surprised to find out that wasn't the case. Like me, I guess you'll just have to wait and see.," McGorry admitted. 

The fourth season of "Orange Is the New Black" will have new faces as season 3 saw many new prisoners arriving at Litchfield. Jolene Purdy signed up for the next season for a recurring role although it is not clear if she will be a new inmate or an entirely new character in the show. 

While casting is expected to go on as auditions are being held in New York, two stars have been promoted to be regulars in the show. Jackie Cruz who plays the role of Flaca and Lea DeLaria who plays Big Boo are now in for the long haul in the TV series.

Two more possibilities are worth delving into for "OITNB" season 4. The first possibility is that Alex could be alive, spared from the bullet of one of Kubra's assassins. The second possibility is that Stella might be back for season 4 after being sent to maximum security in season 3 because of Piper.
