Season Seven of ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK to Be Its Last

The "Orange Is the New Black" cast took to Twitter to announce that season seven would be its last. See the tweet below.

In 2016, Netflix had renewed the series for three seasons and made a deal with series showrunner Jenji Kohan to remain in her role through Season 7, according to Variety.

"After seven seasons, it's time to be released from prison," Kohan said. "I will miss all the badass ladies of Litchfield and the INCREDIBLE CREW we've worked with. My heart is orange but fade to black."

The dramedy initially followed the inmates of Litchfield Minimum Security Prison, with Season 6 seeing many of the main cast move to the Maximum Security facility often mentioned in the series.

The series stars Taylor Schilling, Uzo Aduba, Kate Mulgrew, Laura Prepon, Laverne Cox, Dascha Polanco, Danielle Brooks, Selenis Leyva, Taryn Manning, Yael Stone, Jackie Cruz, Lea DeLaria, Adrienne C. Moore, Elizabeth Rodriguez Michael Harney and Nick Sandow. The series was created by Kohan and based on the book of the same name by Piper Kerman.

The show has received widespread critical acclaim throughout its run, garnering multiple Emmy nominations and back-to-back wins for Aduba in 2014 and 2015.
