Orange Is the New Black Season 2 Cast, News, and Rumors
Orange is the New Black is going to be back... soon. The premiere date is being kept behind bars for the time being, but expect a 2014 release date. The first season dropped in July so the layoff shouldn't be that long.
If you didn't know what OITNB is about... well, it's complicated. At its core the show is a prison drama revolving around Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a well-to-do New York City resident whose bad girl past comes back to bite her. In her early 20s, Chapman smuggled a suitcase full of dirty money across international borders to deliver to her then-girlfriend Alex Vause (Laura Prepon). Vause at the time worked for an international drug syndicate and was eventually nabbed by the Feds. In order to reduce her own sentence Vause names her ex-lover as an accomplice because of a bad breakup. They awkwardly wind up in the same upstate NY prison and all sorts of hilarity ensues.
The majority of the first season focused on Piper's love triangle of her ex-girlfriend and current fiancé Larry Bloom (American Pie's Jason Biggs), but in season two expect to see a lot more of the supporting cast getting larger roles. Vause will only appear in four episodes however.
"In season 2, we're gonna get deeper, we're gonna know who these ladies are on a deeper level, even if we don't get to how each got in prison," Samira Wiley (Poussey Washington) said to ScreenCrush.
Jackie Cruz, who plays Flaca on the hit web series, told Latina that season two is going to be a present for all those who watch the series.
"It's going to be amazing. Every episode is going to be wow! All I can tell you is that every episode is like Christmas," Cruz added.
The chemistry you see on screen is not just an act. Cruz says she is tight with everyone in the show.
"We're all friends. We've created this big Orange family. It's a big cast and it's crazy how everyone gets along with everyone. There's a lot of cultures on set. We go on vacation together and have dinners, etc. I have a brand new family," Cruz went on to say.
