The next season of the American comedy-drama web television series, Orange is the New Black, by the network Netflix, is set to premiere next year. Despite some speculations saying the show is going to be cancelled, the network confirmed that there is more of the series that the fans have to watch out for.

The latest season of the series, acronymed as OITNB, has been aired in June this year with all the episodes released in only one day. Viewers and fans of the show expressed their excitement for the fifth season as they were left with cliffhangers from the previous season.

OITNB fans have been speculating on possible scenarios they would expect on the premiere of the fifth season. The next season of the series might possibly show series of deaths of characters.

Taylor Schilling's character, Piper Chapman, made enemies against Latinas of Litchfiel. This was seen in the previous season. The finale episode of the fourth season of the series conveyed that the inmates have started rebellion and protests, which implied that some inmates may have been injured or even died.

Furthermore, Piper Chapman can also possibly end up dead when she reaches the place where the inmates were protesting. According to the source mentioned above, this might be the major twist for the upcoming season.

However, Parent Herald has reported that the actress who plays the character Piper, Taylor Schilling, has reportedly hinted that if her character lives in the new season, her release from jail would apparently be possible.

The actress had revealed she does not actually know the future of her character on the show. But she stated that her time is almost done in the upcoming season.

Moreover, what really excites the fans is the unpredictability of the show. After Samira Wiley's character, Poussey Washington's death, any inmate could be the next to exit the series. But after the events that had happened in the fourth season, fans speculated for Piper's death in the next season.

According to Ecumenical News, production of Season 5 of Orange is the New Black had already started. Viewers and fans' questions from the previous season will be answered as the series is expected to premiere in June 2017.
