Prepon, who just gave birth in August hinted that she is back into filming for the new season. The actress shared a snapshot of her on the set on Instagram. She included the hashtags #workingmom #herewego and #alexvause.
Prepon confirmed that she and her baby daddy have been dating since 2016, but they have been friends for nearly two decades already. The couple got engaged after a few months and in January 2017, the "OITNB" star debuted her baby bump at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, Us Weekly reported. During her pregnancy, Prepon confessed that she was ecstatic and thought it was incredible to create life.

Moore), Red (Kate Mulgrew), Taystee (Brooks), Piper (Taylor Schilling), Nicky (Natasha Lyonne), Gloria (Selenis Leyva) and Blanca (Laura Gomez) are expected to return in the new series as well.
Meanwhile, some of the actresses have already expressed their desires concerning their character’s fate. For instance, Dascha Polanco wanted Dayanara Diaz to go through postpartum depression because she wanted to explore the condition in national TV.
On the other hand, Selenis Leyva wanted Gloria Mendoza to seek closure after her fellow inmates betrayed her.
Season 6 to feature Donald Trump's administration
Aside from the interesting stories of the women in Litchfield, the series may cover the real-life problems brought by the current administration. Donald Trump has gained a lot of critics after he assumed the presidency and there are talks that the series might use this in one of their plots to redeem the show that experienced a huge dip last season.
Jenji Kohan admitted that they encountered a lot of problems in "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5 because they lost a bunch of writers. She also added that some of the storylnes in the series were "fan fiction" so it was different from real life.
