“Orange is the New Black” has been renewed for three more seasons, Netflix announced.

The announcement comes on the heels of the release of the show’s season four trailer. Now fans can look forward to a fifth, sixth and seventh season.

“Three more years! Not quite a political term, but still plenty of time to do some interesting things. In some cultures, ‘May you lead an interesting life,’ is a curse, but I don’t live in those cultures…Here’s to keeping it interesting. Thanks Netflix!” show runner Jenji Kohan said in a statement.

“Orange is the New Black” has proven to be a major success for Netflix. The critically acclaimed show has earned numerous awards including an Emmy win for Uzo Aduba playing lesbian character Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren.

Season four will be available to stream on Netflix on June 17.
