“Orange is the New Black” has announced the return date of its sixth season will be July 27.

The fifth season ended with prisoners bracing for the fall out as officers finally broke up their season-long prison riot at Litchfield. The new season will take the prisoners out of their Litchfield home and into maximum security prison.

The ensemble cast of Taylor Schilling, Uzo Aduba, Kate Mulgrew, Danielle Brooks, Selenis Leyva, Adrienne C. Moore, Laura Prepon, Natasha Lyonne, Taryn Manning, Lea DeLaria and Nick Sandow will return.
