So far, fans and media outlets have little news about Orange is the New Black. Besides this, the only news they got is Laura Prepon, who plays Alex Vausse in the series, would direct an episode.

She posted on her Twitter account that she felt like it's already Christmas when she was given the opportunity to direct her co-stars.

Prepon, Taylor Schilling (Piper Chapman), Michael Harney (Sam Healy), Danielle Brooks (Taystee Jefferson), Uzo Aduba (Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren), and Kate Mulgrew (Galina "Red" Reznikov) were all set to return to the series.
