Comedy-drama web television series 'Orange is the New Black' season 5 is rumored to be released anytime on June 9, 16, or 23 of 2017, as its previous 3 seasons have all debuted annually on a Friday in June. Asides from the rumored date, spoilers have been revealed about the upcoming season where it is expected that Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), the protagonist of the popular Netflix series, will run out of luck again, getting caught for her mischievous nature in fifth season.
The character, who has a mixed fan base, was sent to prison for a 15-month stint after being charged with transporting drugs for her ex-girlfriend Alex (Laura Prepon) from season 1. But since she entered the prison, she has indulged in more illegal mischief which includes lying on the stand, so as to protect her from a drug lord.
In the beginning of the series, Piper was shown as a quiet and innocent girl who stayed away from getting in the bad books. But eventually, her darker side was revealed in the series.
She was shown as being pretty heartless too when Alex begged her to stay with her for comfort as a friend, when she got about her mother's demise. But Piper took the flight leaving Alex shattered, and herself moving on from the break-up.
Piper's fate will be known in season 5 whose filming is in process. The fourth season ended with Poussey's (Samira Wiley) death, so it is expected the opening scene of the fifth season will start from that moment.
Stella (Ruby Rose) and Lolly (Lori Petty) are expected to return to create more drama in the show. Apart from them, E! News confirmed the comeback of the stylish and friendly Sophia, played by Laverne Cox.
