Several fans are now excited for the upcoming premiere of the "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5. Now, new reports are claiming that major character is going to bid goodbye on the fifth installment of the popular series.

Rumors have it that "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5 is going to surprise fans with its unpredictable yet exciting plot. These speculations sparked after "OITNB" actress Danielle Brooks divulged that the upcoming fifth installment will be intense.

"Season five is done over the course of three days. You will watch 13 episodes, and find out what happens in the course of three days. So, it will be very detailed, very intense, and you better get ready," Danielle Brooke has revealed to E! News about the upcoming "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5. "Get your popcorn, your tissues, everything. I don't know when it's coming out because they never tell us, but sometime in the summer."

Because of this, fans cannot help but speculate that one of the popular characters such as Piper (Taylor Schilling), Red (Kate Mulgrew), Alex (Laura Prepon), Gloria (Selenis Leyva) Nicky (Natasha Lyonne) and Tastee (Danielle Brooks) might depart from the "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5 show soon. Pop Sugar, however, confirmed that several characters are going to return in the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, it has been predicted that the first episode of "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5 will give answers to the cliffhanger ending of "OITNB" Season 4. In the trailer, fans saw Piper, Alex, Red, Gloria, Nicky, and Taystee.

What made the "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5 teaser interesting is when Daya was seen pointing a gun at one of the new corrections officers following a prison riot, which is totally how Season 4 ended. Will one of the lead characters die? We will see.

"Orange Is The New Black" Season 5 is set to be aired on June 9, 2017. Stay tuned to Korea Portal for more "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5 spoilers, news and updates!
