Orange Is the New Black sets season 6 premiere date: 'This is a whole new world' Orange Is the New Black Close this dialog window Streaming Options Orange Is the New Black is saying goodbye to Litchfield in season 6. Netflix released an ominous video Tuesday announcing that the prison drama will return with new episodes July 27. “This is a whole new world,” says Piper in the short clip, which pans around Litchfield’s destroyed cafeteria as a prison bus is seen driving off outside the window. The foreboding voiceover and the clip’s “To the max” tag suggest that the women of Litchfield are heading to a maximum-security facility after the chaos of last season. In season 5, Piper, Taystee, and the other women seized control of the prison after a riot and used their position of power to negotiate with the M.C.C. Unfortunately, their reign ended after three days when a S.W.A.T. team barged into the prison at the end of the season. Watch the teaser above.

The new episodes — taglined “Bye bye, Litchfield — it’s a whole new world!” — will go live on the streamer on Friday, July 27. Watch a teaser above. Netflix Season 5 took place in over the course of three riot-filled days at Litchfield and ended with a number of the inmates — including Piper (Schilling), Crazy Eyes (two-time Emmy winner Uzo Aduba) and Red (Kate Mulgrew) — awaiting their fate as officers in full battle gear confront them. The Lionsgate-produced series’ large ensemble cast also includes Danielle Brooks, Selenis Leyva, Adrienne C. Moore, Laura Prepon, Natasha Lyonne and Nick Sandow. Netflix signed series creator Jenji Kohan to an exclusive multi-year deal in November. She also created the streamer’s 1980s-set female pro wrestling series GLOW, along with Showtime’s Weeds. She exec produces the series, which helped put Netflix on the original-series map and continues to be one of its most popular shows. Last year’s Season 5 got off to an inauspicious start as a hacker stole new episodes ahead of their launch and demanded a ransom from Netflix. Calling himself “The Dark Lord,” the hack claimed to have uploaded as many as 10 episodes to the Internet.<doc-sep>When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.

OITNB SEASON 6 CAST<doc-sep>Season 6 of Orange Is the New Black is set to be released at 3 a.m. Eastern time and midnight Pacific time on Friday, July 27, 2017 (technically, the date is tonight). If that is too late for you to stay awake, you can watch it all at your convenience, just beware of spoilers. Here, you watch the new season once it begins on Netflix. Generally, Netflix shows become available around 3 a.m. ET on the show’s set release date. For most seasons of OITNB, this was also true. But, sometimes Netflix likes to throw a curveball when it comes to leaking episodes of a show or making them available before the original series release time. Take House of Cards for example. Netflix has released new seasons of House of Cards at different times and dates during its run. For the first couple seasons, it was released as scheduled, but when season 3 came out, Netflix decided to wait and release the episodes at 6 a.m. ET. Orange Is the New Black‘s season 3 episodes ended up getting released six hours earlier, so you never know if this could happen again. For a couple spoilers on some episode details that have leaked, read on below. EPISODE 1: According to Orange Is the New Black Wikia the premiere episode description reads, “Picking up one week after the emergency response team stormed Litchfield Penitentiary, the ladies of Litch have been torn apart, literally and figuratively, as they enter a new facility.” EPISODE 2: The title of episode 2 is reported to be “Shitstorm Coming”.

For those who need their memories refreshed, newly engaged Piper and Alex were waitin with their fellow inmates for the armed officers to come after the prison riot. In addition, “Litchfield’s inhabitants” were being put on buses that were supposedly being sent to other prisons. According to Newsweek, season 6 picks up right where season 5 left off, with the inmates awaiting transfer. One thing that has some fans nervous is that Laura Prepon’s character, Alex, is missing from the extensive trailer, but Thrillist has reported she is set to appear in season 6. Other cast members and characters reportedly on board are Piper (Taylor Schilling), Taystee (Danielle Brooks), Red (Kate Mulgrew), Nicky (Natasha Lyonne), Frieda (Dale Soules), Suzanne (Uzo Aduba), Cindy (Adrienne C. Moore), Gloria (Selenis Leyva), and Blanca (Laura Gomez). But, according to USA Today, one person you may not see again on the show is Dascha Polanco, who plays Daya. There are 13 episodes set to be released for season 6 and co-producer Tara Herrmann told The New Yorker that there were a lot of new writers in the mix for the new season. OITNB Adrienne C. Moore told The Hollywood Reporter that season 6 gives the show “an amazing facelift.” As for future seasons of the show, iDigitalTimes reported that OITNB had been okay’ed for a couple more seasons after season 5’s release, so there should be at least one more season to go after this one.<doc-sep>
The sixth season of Orange Is the New Black will premiere in full on Netflix Friday at 3:01 a.m. ET. Netflix announced in 2016 that the show had been renewed through a seventh season. Season 6 will consist of 13 episodes. Details of the sixth season have been kept tightly under wraps. As revealed in the trailer, the story will pick up in the aftermath of the prison riots of Season 5 and will follow the inmates through unfamiliar surroundings in a new prison. Following the riots that took up the entirety of Season 5, a number of inmates of Litchfield Penitentiary, a minimum security prison, have been transferred to new locations. Netflix also released a new title sequence via the show's official Twitter account, which shows glimpses of the Max, the maximum security facility in Litchfield. Season 5 consisted of 13 episodes that took place in a condensed timeline of three days. The episodes followed the lives of Piper (Taylor Schilling), Suzanne (Uzo Aduba), Red (Kate Mulgrew), Taystee (Danielle Brooks), and the rest of the women as they attempted to survive the 72 hours of rioting incited by the death of prisoner Poussey Washington (Samira Wiley) in Season 4. The new season opens with a five-minute fantasy sequence, a significant tone-shift from the fifth season. Showrunner Jenji Kohan upped the stakes with the death of Poussey and used this tragedy as an opportunity to flip the storyline, as well as the power dynamics within the prison. In the Season 5 finale, riot police stormed the building, separated the inmates, bussed them to unknown destinations, and exploded a bunker that held ten of Litchfield's highest-profile inmates. As the Season 6 trailer reveals, almost all ten of these inmates have survived as well as most of the core cast. Kohan could use this opportunity to refocus the story and shift the course of the show.
