Last season, OITNB ended up getting released six hours earlier, so you never know if this could happen again.
This season is reported to be one of the most compelling of the series. The Hollywood Reporter stated, “As compelling, entertaining and as well-written and acted as they have been for the past three.”
Showrunner Jenji Kohan dished about the new season during a press tour, saying:
We start with political agendas, the corporatization of the prison, the stratification of people into their little mosaic groups. We want it to be a surprise, but [you can expect] all the fun stuff like race and hate and some things from current events that we wanted to filter through our lens.

1. “Work That Body For Me”
