Orange Is The New Black will return for a sixth series on July 27, Netflix has announced.

A teaser video has hinted that the inmates of Litchfield Penitentiary will leave the prison behind in the new episodes.

The short clip shows a deserted prison with orange gas being pumped in.

A Department of Corrections bus can be seen driving away through the window.

The clip sent fans into a frenzy on social media with many anticipating the upcoming release.

One fan wrote: “THE EXCITEMENT IS REAL!!

Another posted: “I CAN’T WAIT.”

Meanwhile a third commented: “I’m already hyped!

Schilling, 33, told the Standard: “Representation is one of the ways we can start to change the culture. If we’re not seeing everyone represented in our entertainment then there’s a lot more space for separateness and isolated thinking.

“The fact alone that OITNB for five years has been representing in a way that’s unique for television is wildly important.

"I wish there were more fully-female drama on television. I’m surprised there aren’t more knock-offs or more people trying to do more of this kind of thing because it’s been so wildly successful. People do want to see a screen full of women.”
