Friday 24 May 2019 by Charlotte Whyatt  News

Netflix has confirmed a premiere date for the final series of its critically-acclaimed prison dramedy Orange is the New Black.

Fans will be able to stream all 13 episodes of season 7 from Friday 26th July. 

A handful of first-look photos and a short teaser video featuring several key cast members singing the show’s theme tune, Regina Spektor’s You’ve Got Time, was also released alongside the announcement. 

According to the official plot summary, this series will see “Piper (Taylor Schilling) struggle on the outside (following her surprise early release at the end of last season) while life in Litchfield Max, as corrupt and unjust as ever, goes on without her.”

Laura Prepon, Uzo Aduba, Danielle Brooks, Laura Gomez, Adrienne C. Moore, Natasha Lyonne and Dascha Polanco are also all set to reprise their roles. 

After creator Jenji Kohan confirmed that this seventh season was to be the show’s last back in October 2018, the chairman of producer Lionsgate Kevin Beggs stated the two were in discussions about developing a potential sequel. 

Nothing further has been confirmed however.

You can stream the first five seasons of Orange is the New Black on Netflix now.
