The streaming giant, Netflix, has released a brand new trailer for the upcoming season of “Orange is the New Black.”
The teaser trailer picks up from the cliff-hanger ending to the last episode of the fourth season. The series is in the headlines for almost one month when hackers stole its first nine episodes and unofficially uploaded on the internet. The group of hackers who stole the new episodes of “Orange is the New Black” threatened that it would out new shows of other studios too.
Netflix refused to comment anything in this regard, and continued developing the new seasons of “Orange is the New Black.” Now the shooting is wrapped, and the series is scheduled for June 9, 2017.
