You can only wear orange for so long…
Netflix has now confirmed that its hit show, Orange is the New Black, will be coming to an end after the next season.
Based on the true story of Piper Kerman who was sent to jail for money laundering, the series depicts life in Litchfield Penitentiary.
Throughout its 6 year run, OITNB has become the streaming network’s most-watched original series and has won 4 Emmy Awards — including 2 wins for Uzo Aduba for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
Cast members of the series — which premiered its 6th season in July — broke the news to fans in a video released on Twitter.

“Hey y’all, we got some news,” Danielle Brooks says into the camera, before Taylor Schilling cuts in to say that “the final season is coming.”
Yael Stone then confirms that “season 7 is the end,” and Kate Mulgrew states that she is going “to miss playing and living on the edge of one of the most groundbreaking, original, and controversial series of this decade.”
