What colour is the new orange? We may soon find out…

Netflix announced last month that the forthcoming 7th season would be the last of Orange is the New Black.

The streaming network’s number one original show is based on the real-life story of Piper Kerman who spent a year in prison on charges of money laundering.

But Lionsgate TV Group has now given us hope that there is life after Orange! A possible spin-off is being discussed with show creator, Jenji Kohan, according to Lionsgate head, Kevin Beggs.

“We’re really proud of the long run that Orange Is the New Black had. It remains one of Netflix’s most-watched shows. We’re ending on a high note. Keep in mind we own that series and will be distributing it for years to come. We’re already in discussions and, when the timing is right, we’ll talk further with Jenji about a potential sequel,” he said.

OITNB executive producer, Tara Herrmann, has revealed that possible ideas include a Broadway production, or following couples Larry Bloom and Polly Harper, or Cal and Carol Chapman.
