Orange Is the New Black fans were devastated after hearing their favorite show will end after Season 7, but it seems adventures of the Litchfield girls won’t end there. Netflix executives are thinking about continuing this epic saga with a spinoff series.
Chairman of Lionsgate Television Group Kevin Beggs said they are really proud of the long run this show had. Despite the fact the end is near, there’s still a possibility series creator Jenji Kohan will surprise us with some new stories in the future.
“We’re ending on a high note. Keep in mind we own that series and will be distributing it for years to come. We’re already in discussions and, when the timing is right, we’ll talk further with Jenji about a potential sequel,” explained Beggs.
This isn’t the first time the possibility of Orange is the New Black spinoff has been discussed. Executive producer Tara Herrmann previously stated they were exploring several options – including a Broadway production – but that will have to wait until the series officially wraps up.
“We want people to pay attention to the show we’re making, not a musical number with Piper and Alex. But that could happen in the future, who knows!” said Herrmann.
