The cast of the series broke the news on Twitter. Since 2013, Orange is the New Black has been a formidable participant in the race for Emmys, Golden Globes and other awards.
The series showrunner Jenji Kohan said: “After 7 seasons, it’s time to be released from prison. I will miss all the badass ladies of Litchfield and the incredible crew we’ve worked with. My heart is orange but fades to black.”
According to the vice president of original content in Netflix, Cindy Holland, “Since the production of season 1, we have laughed, cried, plagued and more with the women of Litchfield. Every moment spent with them was a gift too good to last forever. This is not to say goodbye to them but we will certainly finish in apotheosis.”
Adapted from Piper Kerman’s memoir, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison, the series has had and still having a good run on TV.
