The Trailer For Season Two Of Orange Is The New Black Promises More Characters, More Crazy Eyes, More Pornstache
June 6 is not so far away anymore!
“I am a lone wolf, and a viscous one. Don’t make me rip your throat out.”
We have only six more weeks to wait until the long-awaited season two of Orange Is The New Black drops in full on Netflix, and the trailer released over the long weekend promises a whole lot: new characters, more Crazy Eyes, and maybe a little less Piper.
While Laura Prepon opted out of most of season two (her character Alex Vause is only appearing in four episodes), news/rumour broke over the weekend that she’ll be back to full-time in season three.
According to Buzzfeed: “After the show became Netflix’s biggest hit, and the tidal wave of viewer sorrow nearly drowned Prepon, Netflix, and the show’s creator, Jenji Kohan, the plan was rejiggered for Prepon to return for four Season 2 episodes (instead of a mere one), and to leave things open for heavier involvement in the presumed third season.”
Meanwhile, the real-life Alex, Catherine Wolters, spoke to Vanity Fair last week, dispelling much of the plot of the show, which was based on the biography of Piper Kerman. Her and Piper were only in prison together for five weeks, she says, and they never had sex.
“We were ghosts of the humans we had once been, milling about amongst hundreds of other human ghosts, shackled and chained, prodded through transport centers at gunpoint, moved through holding facilities,” Wolters says. “Praying is about the most intimate thing two people can do in some places, not sex… We made some mean dinners together, though, out of cans of cheese, corn chips, and chili, and Piper learned how to communicate effectively through a toilet—a little something you’ll never pick up at Smith.”
Below, the cast talk about season two in three words, and a bunch of them are sexual. So: that’s still going to be a thing.
