It looks like the ladies at Litchfield prison aren’t going anywhere because Orange is the New Black has been renewed for three more seasons at Netflix…
Ahead of the season 4 debut, Orange is the New Black has been renewed for three more seasons at Netflix — bringing the show all the way to season 7 before the current detail is up.
The show created by Jenji Kohan has been one of the biggest hits for Netflix since the subscription based service started creating original programming and it looks like the series is sticking around for quite some time.
“Three more years! Not quite a political term, but still plenty of time to do some interesting things,” Kohan said in a statement. “In some cultures, ‘May you lead an interesting life,’ is a curse, but I don’t live in those cultures. Here’s to keeping it interesting. Thanks Netflix! Both thanks and you’re welcome Lionsgate!
“And kudos and gratitude to the stellar cast and crew and writers and producers and editors and musicians and mixers and shleppers… with whom I have the pride and honor of crafting this show. Three more years! Three more years!”
The renewal also locks up Kohan as show runner, which is a very big deal because she’s in high demand right now thanks to the overwhelming critical and commercial success of Orange is the New Black.
With the series now renewed through season 7, the next goal will be for Netflix to ensure all of the stars of the show are taken care of financially with Orange is the New Black remaining the most watched series on the service.
Orange is the New Black season 4 debuts on Netflix on Friday, June 17.
