"Orange Is The New Black" season 5 remains to be one of the most anticipated series on Netflix. Despite being renewed for another two seasons, the crime-drama series is surrounded with cancellation rumors especially after the death of Poussey last season. Latest rumors hint that major characters'deaths will soon follow, which will pave the way for its ending.
Piper To Be Killed Off Next Season?
"Orange Is The New Black" season 5 will continue the story of Poussey (Samira Wiley) despite her death in the previous season. Her death will be the turning point for the inmates in the Litchfield Penitentiary to protest. The previous report suggests that Piper (Taylor Schilling) is one of the major casts to be killed off next season.
Rumors say that "Orange Is The New Black" season 5 will see Piper die at the hands of her ex-lover Alex or Stella, her arch enemy. In an interview with PopSugar, Taylor Schilling admitted as much that it will be a hard season for her character Piper. She also revealed that her outer appearance also hints of an inner turmoil that could put herself in danger.
Just like Poussey, Piper is one of the key characters left in "Orange Is The New Black" season 5. Killing off another major character in the upcoming episode is taken by many as a hint that the series may no longer continue. In fact, Piper isn't the only one rumored to be killed off next season.
Major Character Deaths
GameNGuide previously reported that Daya (Dascha Polanco) and Taystee (Danielle Brooks) may face danger when "Orange Is The New Black" season 5 returns to air. It is still unclear what could have happened to Daya given the cliff-hanging season finale.
To recall, Daya was last seen pointing towards McCullough (Emily Tarver) and Humps (Michael Torpey). It remains to be seen if she pulled the trigger that could set off another riot inside the prison in "Orange Is The New Black" season 5.
"Orange Is The New Black" season 5 will reportedly take off just moments after the event of the previous season. That means fans will learn if Daya was able to pull off the trigger towards the two officers.
More so, Taystee is also rumored to be in grave danger as she was responsible for instigating the riot after Poussey's death. Fans also believe that she will be avenging her friend's death once "Orange Is The New Black" season 5 resumes.
Will these three major deaths mean cancellation for the crime-drama series? "Orange Is The New Black" season 5 is expected to air sometime in 2017. Stay tuned for more "Orange Is The New Black" season 5 updates!
