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.”

In the run-up to Season 6’s highly anticipated release, Danielle Brooks was interviewed by NME about what to expect from the upcoming season. During the interview, she was asked about the show’s relation to current events and the importance of the show. In response, Brooks highlighted the successful diversity in the OITNB cast:

“It’s incredible to be part of a show that’s trailblazing Hollywood and how we view television, from literally the inside out, from having a more diverse cast but also having a more diverse crew too – [that] has been really cool. You know, and really showing Hollywood that you can make a dollar and put women that are of all shapes, sizes, ages, and different sexual backgrounds on television and people will enjoy it,” Brooks said.

“They will love it and eat it up and I think it’s really changing the face of Hollywood, and I think our show has definitely spoken about things – like #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, LGBT rights, the list really can go on and on, the topics that are ringing true to America but also the world, clearly,” she continued. “And I think we really are influencing people to change their views a lot.”

Season 6 of Orange Is The New Black will arrive on Netflix Friday 27th this month.
