The fourth season of "Orange is the New Black" is still a work in progress but fans of the show are already anticipating what will be next for their favorite characters. And a lot of that anticipation appears to revolve around Red (Kate Mulgrew) and Healy (Michael Harney).

In the last season, the relationship between the two was starting to move forward and viewers are starting to wonder if they will officially be together next season. The chatter undoubtedly grew when Mulgrew wrote about Red and Healy in "Entertainment Weekly" and hinted that the two might already have a mutual understanding.

Mulgrew wrote that their dynamic was different in the sense that "they are far from enemies but neither are they bosom buddies," even though Red has "openly defended his virtues, to the chagrin of his petulant and self-consumed mail-order bride."

Fans are also hoping for John Bennett's return next season. The character, who is played by Matt McGorry, was engaged to Daya last season. However, he left her and their child which consequently caused their daughter to be taken by child services. McGorry addressed the rumor indirectly during an interview with "Yahoo News" when he said that it was all up to the writers.

The actor admitted that he has his "fingers crossed that he comes through and is the man that we all hoped he was," but added that he also "wouldn't be surprised to find out that wasn't the case."

Production for the next season is already underway and some interesting casting calls are getting fans excited. According to Project Casting, the show is looking for actresses who can pull-off a Dominican heritage. The producers have also stated that the actresses must be fresh, meaning they have not worked on the show before. They should also have naturally looking hair (no wigs, dyes or dreads) and no piercings.

While production might already be underway but there is no specific release date given for "Orange is the New Black" season four.
