Orange is fading to black

Orange Is the New Black is fading to black after its upcoming seventh season. Cast members posted a video Wednesday announcing the series’ 2019 end, confirmed by a Netflix spokesperson. In the video, the actresses thanked fans for their support and promised a fulfilling wrap-up to the comedy-drama set in a women’s prison. Actress Kate Mulgrew said she’ll miss being with a “groundbreaking” TV series. Orange Is the New Black was inspired by Piper Kerman’s memoir about her time in federal prison. The show was nominated twice for top-series Emmy honours, and Uzo Aduba won two acting trophies. The final season’s 2019 release date wasn’t announced.
