Netflix has revealed the premiere date of Orange Is the New Black‘s final season, and given a first look at what’s to come in a newly unveiled teaser.
The prison drama will wrap up for good with its seventh season, which will begin on 26 July.
In a video released by the streaming platform, the show’s actors including Uzo Aduba, Adrienne C Moore, Danielle Brooks, Dascha Polanco, Taylor Schilling, Laura Prepon and Natasha Lyonne can be seen walking around the set, singing the series’s theme song “You’ve Got Time” by Regina Spektor.
While the actors aren’t fully in character in the clip, it does include nods to their storylines.
Notably, Chapman, who was released from prison at the end of season six, is no longer wearing her inmate jumpsuit but plain clothes.
She is seen at the end of the video holding hands with Alex Vause, her partner who remains imprisoned.
Per Netflix’s description, the show’s seventh and final season will see Chapman struggling with her freedom, while life behind bars continues “as corrupt and unjust as ever”.
