‘Orange Is the New Black‘ will return for its 7th and final season on Friday, 26th July 2019, and Netflix has released the first full trailer, along with the poster art for the final episodes.
The series, which ushered in a monumental era of television and for six unforgettable seasons, has fearlessly tackled some of the most difficult, relevant, and human stories of our time. In its final season, the ladies of Litchfield come to terms with the fact that prison has changed them forever.
*Season 6 spoiler warning!* If you remember, at the end of last season we saw Piper (Taylor Schilling), Sophia (Laverne Cox) and Blanca (Laura Gómez) all get released in the finale. That meant a tearful goodbye to Alex (Laura Prepon), who is still locked inside, although Piper & Alex did manage to get “prison married” before she left. Whilst Piper & Sophia are reunited with family, Blanca is immediately taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and taken to a new detention facility. Unfortunately for her, the new place is also run by MCC, now rebranded as PolyCon Corrections, following the bad press from the riot.
In Season 7, Piper struggles with life on the outside, while life in Max, as corrupt and unjust as ever, goes on without her. Taystee’s (Danielle Brooks) friendship with Cindy (Adrienne C. Moore) still hangs in the balance as her life sentence looms, Gloria (Selenis Layva) and her kitchen staff are confronted by the hard truth of Polycon’s newest profit stream, while others chase drugs or dreams and grapple with the reality of their place in this world.
This poster this season is a rather sweet tribute from the cast and creators of the series honouring the passionate fans that have evangelised this beloved show over the years, by having the “Orange Army” themselves create the key art for the series finale. Ten dedicated, talented, and diverse artists from across the globe – the UK, Armenia, Brazil, Italy, and the US – were hand selected via social media to have their showpiece displayed across busses, buildings, and billboards all over the world, in celebration of the seventh and final season premiere.
‘Orange Is the New Black‘ 7th and final Season premieres Friday, 26th July 2019 on Netflix UK and worldwide.
