5 good movies to Netflix and chill to this weekend: American Pie and more by Brittni Miner

Production on Orange is the New Black season 6 has wrapped and now we can really get excited about the new episodes coming to Netflix.

It’s tough to find good news in the dead of winter when snow is blanketing most of the United States, but this bit of Orange is the New Black news is sure to warm you up and put a smile on your face. Production on Orange is the New Black season 6 has finished shooting, according to a new photo from Laura Prepon.

The actress who plays Alex Vause shared the news with a picture of her co-star Taylor Schilling, who plays her on-screen fiancée, Piper Chapman. The two got engaged under totally not romantic circumstances last year, but when you’re in prison, how many romantic settings does one really find themselves in, right?

Now that production has wrapped up, we can refine our projected release date considering there weren’t any unforeseen production delays or anything weird that would possibly delay the release of 13 all-new episodes.

I’ll preface this by saying the release date has not been announced so this is merely a projection, but it’s going to provide you with a safe timetable for you so you can plan your wait.

Orange is the New Black season 6 is likely to premiere in June on Netflix around the world. Excluding the first season that premiered in July, the previous five seasons all made their debut in June. I expect that trend to continue again this year and project Orange is the New Black season 6 to premiere either on June 8 or June 15.

Last season was a bit of a departure for the series in the way it was shot because the entire 13-episode season took place over the span of three days. The prison riot stemming from Daya shooting Humphrey and the resulting anarchy and chaos that ensued made for a wild and crazy adventure. The season ended with inmates boarding several busses with the inmates seemingly being separated in different prisons.

The final scene was a poignant one with Alex, Piper, Red, Taystee, Suzanne and others locked in arms as the riot police swarmed the old pool where they hid out during the riot.

I can also make an estimate for when the Orange is the New Black season 6 trailer will drop, which should be in early-mid May. And I think the formal announcement about the release date will take place in March.

Until then, binge-watching the first seasons is a great way to pass the time until the new season arrives.
