Thanks to http://www.spoilertv.pl for the heads up.
Netflix will premiere its upcoming original series "Orange Is the New Black" on Thursday, July 11, 2013. Created by Jenji Kohan ("Weeds"), the comedic drama starring Taylor Schilling is set in a women's prison and is based on the U.S. best-selling memoir by Piper Kerman. All thirteen one-hour episodes in the series from Lionsgate Television will be available at launch. Netflix members will have access to "Orange Is the New Black" at 12:01 AM PDT in all territories where Netflix is available - U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Latin America, Brazil and the Nordics. "Orange Is the New Black" follows engaged Brooklynite Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), whose decade-old relationship with drug-runner Alex (Laura Prepon) results in her arrest and year-long detention in a federal penitentiary. To pay her debt to society, Piper must trade her comfortable New York life with fiance Larry (Jason Biggs) for an orange prison jumpsuit and a baffling prison culture where she is forced to question everything she believes and form unexpected new alliances with a group of eccentric and outspoken inmates. The series' diverse ensemble also includes Kate Mulgrew, Natasha Lyonne, Pablo Schreiber, Danielle Brooks, Laverne Cox and Taryn Manning.

ReplyDeleteHadn't even heard of this show before looks quite fun actually and I did used to love Weeds when it first started
ReplyDeleteYes, the first three seasons of Weeds were great. I never heard of this show either, but I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteI liked Taylor Schilling on NBC's Mercy. I'll probably check this out.
ReplyDeleteI had not heard about this at all, but it looks interesting and to get to see Capt Janeway as an inmate should be interesting. I'll give this a peek
