  • ‘Orange is the New Black’ Season 2 Teaser

    ‘Orange is the New Black’ Season 2 Teaser

    Orange is the New Black will be coming back into our lives soon.

    Netflix announced that the highly entertaining jail drama will be returning June 6.

    Danielle Brooks, who plays inmate Taystee said, “We’re having a blast! I mean, the writing was amazing before and it has gotten even better, I don’t know how they made it happen but it’s really good.”

    “I think that people are going to be so excited about season two.”

    And if that’s not enough to get you tickled pink-uhhh-I mean orange, check out this awesome teaser for season two.

    “It feels like Orange Is the New Black is the start of a movement,” continued Brooks.

    Brooks pointed out the great diversity within the characters on the screen and behind the camera.

    “To be on a show with so many women and not just on the screen, but also the crew and the writers and the producers, the team mostly is women. When do you see a show with more than one person of color on it? You have six, seven women who are black and Hispanic who are leads. It’s so cool. And Laverne Cox—how amazing is she?”

    When we last saw Taystee, she had been released from the prison, only to return after being arrested again.

    “I’m going to tease you a little bit about Taystee [in] season two—you’ll get more of me!” Brooks said. “The only thing I can give you is that for me Taystee has shocked me for season two so I think people will be excited to see what she does.”

    OITNB’s 13-episode second season will be available to Netflix subscribers on Friday, June 6.

  • Taystee Would Like To Escape From Prison With Poussey In ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Season 2

    The cast from Netflix’s Orange is the New Black have been very busy lately talking to various media outlets, and typically, at least touching on the second season, which is currently filming.

    For the most part, they’ve been pretty good about avoiding spoilers, no matter how much their interviewers try to get out of them. Still, some of them have been talking about ideas of things they would like to see play out for their characters.

    Most recently, Out posted a lengthy interview with Danielle Brooks, who plays Taystee.

    When asked if she had any Season 2 spoilers, Brooks deflected the question, but when asked about where she would like to see her relationship with Poussey go, she said, “I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m hoping for some conflict between friends. I think that’s fun to watch. I want to see them get in trouble together. I don’t know, try to escape prison together—that would be fun.”

    The scenario is not out of the realm of possibility, I suppose, but I wouldn’t count on that happening. Brooks noted earlier in the interview that she typically only gets scripts a week in advance if she’s lucky.

    Orange is the New Black: Season 2 has no release date yet, but it is due out in 2014. Production began last month.

    Brooks, along with Uzo Aduba (Crazy Eyes) and Taryn Manning (Pennsatucky), has been promoted to series regular, so expect to see further development of her character and more screen time. We’ll just have to see if that includes an escape attempt.

    Brooks recently told E! News that the writing on the show has gotten better.

  • ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Cast Members Talk Season 2, Laura Prepon

    E! News has just released a new interview with Danielle Brooks and Taylor Schilling, two stars of Netflix’s Orange is the New Black. The pair talk a little bit about the second season, what’s going on with Laura Prepon (who is rumored to be leaving), and more.

    On the Prepon situation, Schilling says, “I don’t really know anything about that. I just know she’s an amazing actress, and I’ve really had an incredible time working with her, and I know that that relationship…there’s no end to that relationship.”

    It then cuts, so if she had anything else to say about it, we really don’t get to hear it.

    Co-star Taryn Manning spoke a little about it with Entertainment Tonight as well.

    “That’s the cool thing about this show,” Brooks says. “You never know what’s going to happen. People can go away or come back or like, you never know, obviously. That happened to me – my character.”

    Brooks says the writing, which was “amazing before,” has gotten even better in the upcoming season. “It’s really good. I think people are going to be so excited about season 2,” she adds.

    Oh yeah, and the twerking video comes up in the interview oo. Brooks says there are more videos to come.

    Season 2 does not have an official release date yet, but is due out in 2014. Production began last month, and Brooks has been promoted to a series regular.
