Following the successful launch of the third season of Netflix's 'House of Cards', television fans can now focus their excitement and anticipation on the streaming service's other breakout show 'Orange is the New Black'. The third season of 'Orange' is expected to be released sometime in June as an exact date has yet to be revealed.

In a departure from previous seasons, the third season will have an additional episode bumping its total to fourteen episodes. The episode titles have already been revealed and there are many interesting ones from the bunch. The first episode for the upcoming season is entitled "It's the Great Blumpkin, Charlie Brown" though how it ties in to Charlie Brown of 'Peanuts' fame has yet to be determined. Other notables include "Heroin Robin Hood", "Use Your Tears as Lube", and "Gay Feet".

In other news, many changes are in store for the series in the new season. As reported in this article a few months back, the show will be focusing more on the relationship between Alex and Piper. Tensions will be at a high after Alex's seeming betrayal of Piper which landed the latter in big trouble while securing the former's release from prison. In relation to this, Piper's fiancé Larry will not be in season three as he finally had enough of their troubled relationship and ran off with Piper's best friend.

Another storyline that will be explored in greater detail is Daya and Bennett's secret baby. A report on TV Guide indicates that the baby will be born in the upcoming season and it will be very complicated for the two. Adding intrigue to this storyline is the addition of actress Mary Steenburgen who will play Mendez's mother. Mendez was previously arrested after he was framed for fathering Daya's baby, and he still believes that he is the father of the baby.
