'Orange is the New Black' season 5 release date, plot news and rumors: Taystee avenges Poussey's death?

(Facebook/OITNB)Will Taystee avenge Poussey's death?

Filming is underway for "Orange is the New Black" season five, and as early as now, rumors are circling around the possible storylines to be told when the hit series returns next year.

The fourth season was like an ultimate betrayal to fans who have been following the inmates' stories since the beginning. Samira Wiley's Poussey was killed during a riot behind bars, and though it seemed like an accident, many of the characters were obviously deeply affected by her death.

Aside from the shocking incident that took Poussey's life, viewers were shocked to see how Litchfield handled her death. It was covered up.

One of the biggest questions is, what will happen next? Will someone step up to the plate and let the people inside realize that something didn't go right?

If there is someone who will do this for Poussey's soul, it will most likely be Taystee (Danielle Brooks).

Rumor has it that "Orange is the New Black" season five will see the biggest change in character through Taystee. She and Poussey shared a friendship which has been strong and solid since the beginning.

Taystee is known on the small screens to be the happy and fun-loving gal who will stick up for her friends no matter what. While Poussey's fans can't wait to see someone avenging her death, it should be understood that Taystee also needs time to grieve and plan everything out carefully.

On the other hand, Taystee has tendencies to make quick decisions which have been thought of. Take, for example, the incidents in the finale of season four where she was among the inmates who spearheaded the riot that led to Daya (Dascha Polanco) picking up that gun and pointing it at CO Humphrey.

Fans will just have to wait and see how Poussey's death affected Taystee and how much this incident will change the latter.

Meanwhile, Pop Sugar suggests that Lori Petty's Lolly will definitely make a comeback in "Orange is the New Black" season five after she was thrown into the Psych Ward. Poor Lolly was dragged into a case that she initially had nothing to do with and now she's suffering the consequences.

Despite the obvious trials that Lolly will have to face aside from her inner demons, she will be the perfect picture to show the true story of how psychologically impaired inmates are treated.

"Orange is the New Black" season five has no premiere date set yet but it is suggested that the new episodes will start airing sometime June 2017 on Netflix.
