Are you prepare to go back behind bars?

You’ve got a few months to make any final arrangements.

Netflix has come out and announced that Orange is the New Black Season 4 will start streaming on Friday, June 17, with creator Jenji Kohan and company executives giving fans their first look at all the upcoming action via a new trailer.

"The theme thing was hard this year," Kohan told reporters at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Los Angeles.

"Sometimes we start with political agendas, the corporatization of the prison, the stratification of the people into their little mosaic pieces within the prison.

"I can’t tell you much more than that because we want it to be a surprise but all the fun stuff like race and hate and some things from current events that we want to sort of filter through our lens. But I’m just going to be vague about it."

We do know that Blair Brown, whose character of Judy King was sentenced to time at Litchfield in the season 3 finale, will play a key role this summer.

"Alliances that happen are unexpected," she said of what’s to come.

As for Piper, who many fans turned on last season due to her treatment of Alex and her black market selling of used underwear?

"I think Piper is definitely on a journey and we work the vicissitudes of likability," Kohan said.
