Earlier this year, in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Taylor Schilling, who plays leading protagonist Piper Chapman in the series, said she was preparing to say goodbye to the role.
“It certainly is an end of an era,” she said. “Orange has been such a huge chapter in my life, personally and professionally.”
“I’m so grateful to have been able to play this part of Piper,” she continued. “I’m excited to let Piper go and put her to rest beautifully as I’m sure Jenji [Kohan, creator] will do, and let her kind of live on in her own world, when that time comes.”
The seventh and final season of Orange Is The New Black is expected to be released summer 2019.
