Orange Is the New Black Cast Tease Unexpected Alliances in Season 4

Creator Jenji Kohan and a handful of cast members spoke to reporters about the upcoming season at the 2016 Winter TCA Press Tour on Sunday.

"The theme thing was hard this year. Sometimes we start with political agendas, the corporatization of the prison, the stratification of the people into their little mosaic pieces within the prison...I can't tell you much more than that because we want it to be a surprise but all the fun stuff like race and hate and some things from current events that we want to sort of filter through our lens. But I'm just going to be vague about it," Kohan said.

New cast member Blair Brown, shared a little more information "You do push all the different groups together...Alliances that happen are unexpected."

With season three seeing Piper (Taylor Schilling) venturing into darker territory, Schilling said "I think Piper is definitely on a journey and we work the vicissitudes of likability."

Star Samira Wiley said, "This season, I feel really good about it and I want to be able to talk about it. It feels like we've got something really, really different than what we've put out before with this coming season."

Orange Is the New Black's fourth season premieres on Friday, June 17 on Netflix.
