The hit Netflix show Orange is The New Black returns for its fifth season with all thirteen episodes released today! All our favourites are set to return as chaos descends upon the women’s prison, especially after the action-packed season 4 cliffhanger. In the finale we saw a full-scale prison riot begin in the wake of Poussey’s (Samira Wiley) death, and this is where the new season will pick up with Daya (Dascha Polanco) pointing a loaded gun at CMO Humphrey (Michael Torpey).

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Danielle Brooks who plays Taystee said the season is “done over the course of three days” and also mentioned it “will be very detailed, very intense, and you better get ready. Get your popcorn, your tissues, everything.”

It’s no secret that OITNB loves tackle topics head on from mental illness to transgender rights and police brutality with such finesse that has caused the show to become so popular so we don’t expect it to change any time soon. The new season promises to delve further into gender discrimination, privilege, the treatment of prisoners in the US and race relations. We’ll also see some of our favourite Litchfield couples, including Suzanne (Uzo Aduba) and Maureen (Emily Althaus) and Piper (Taylor Schilling) and Alex (Laura Prepon), address their forever complicated relationships.

Season 5 of Orange is the New Black will be released very soon for your viewing pleasure!

Glow, or “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling”, originally premiered back in 1986 and lasted four seasons, however, the Netflix adaption will take the main premise of the series but bring in fresh new characters.

The series follows the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in 1980s Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women’s wrestling.

In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits, Ruth also has to compete with Debbie Eagan (Betty Gilpin), a former soap actress who left the business to have a baby, only to be sucked back into work when her picture perfect life turns out not to be what it seems. At the wheel is Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), a washed-up, B-movie director who now must lead this group of women on the journey to wrestling super stardom.

Liz Flahive (Homeland, Nurse Jackie) executive produces the series along with Carly Mensch (Orange is the New Black, Nurse Jackie), Jenji Kohan (Orange is the New Black, Weeds) and Tara Herrmann (Orange is the New Black), so we definitely know we are in for some laughs and an interesting series!

Starring Alison Brie (Community), Betty Gilpin (Masters of Sex), Marc Maron (Maron), Chris Lowell (Veronica Mars), Ellen Wong (The Carrie Diaries) and Sunita Mani (Mr Robot).

All 10 episodes of GLOW hit Netflix on June 23rd.
