"Orange is the New Black" had wrapped up filming for Season 3 and new episodes will be coming to Netflix this Summer. Cast star Taylor Schilling was in New York City at the end of 2014 and made an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on CBS. They discussed President Obama being a fan of the hit series. You can watch the funny interview above.
Most of the cast and crew are keeping quiet about what is going to happen next. One thing that we have learned though is that Season 3 will be exploring the subject of 'faith' shared show creator, Jenji Kohan. The hit Netflix show has also announced that they are bringing back Lori Petty (Tank Girl, League of Their Own) for the upcoming third season of the hit Netflix show. She will continue her role as Lolly, who Piper (Taylor Schilling) meets on a transport plane. Also announced guest stars appearing in "Orange is the New Black" Season 3 are Mary Steenburgen, Blair Brown, and Mike Birbiglia.
"Orange is the New Black" was nominated for 12 Emmy Awards this year and Taylor Schilling was also nominated for 'Best Actress'.
The show is based around Taylor Schilling, who plays Piper Chapman that gets sent to prison 10 years after she got caught up in transporting drug money across international lines. "Orange is the New Black" is made by 'Weeds' creator Jenji Kohan, and is based on the true story of Piper Kerman's year spent in prison that she wrote about in her memoir.
"Orange is the New Black" became the latest hit series for Netflix after a surprisingly huge reaction to its first season this summer. Netflix has hit the right formula lately with the hugely successful "House of Cards" Season 1 & 2 releasing to great reviews as well. "House of Cards" Season 2 released earlier in 2014. "Orange is the New Black" Season 1 raised eyebrows for it's controversial yet honest portrayal of prison life for women that is not been discussed much in popular culture especially through a series.
Netflix is set to release "Orange is the New Black" Season 3 coming next Summer, in June 2015.
