It was previously reported that the comedy-drama series "Orange Is the New Black" will be renewing for season four and while that is a good news, Netflix is not yet dead-beat in making announcements as they recently released the new poster for the show's third season to debut on June 12. The poster features faces of five characters while on saint candles and incorporates some items related to them. With the theme "Faith," fans can expect something spiritual in season three.
The said poster of "Orange Is the New Black" highlights the faces of Daya (Dascha Polanco), Alex Vause (Laura Prepon), Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba), and Red (Kate Mulgrew on saint candles. There are some materials near each faces that are probably associated with the moments in their lives. For instance, Daya's candle, which holds a baby bottle, a prosthetic leg, a pack of gum and other things. The prosthetic leg implies her secret lover John Bennett, played by Matt McGorry. Whereas, the baby bottle signifies her unborn child, with Bennett being the father.
Meanwhile, Laura Prepon's character Alex has the candle that features money. Alex is a former drug smuggler and the money is why she was arrested. Alex's lover, Piper, possesses a candle with a number of items including a screwdriver, a flashlight and a diploma. She also has an image of a ring, which suggests her preempted marriage with Larry Bloom, portrayed by Jason Biggs. Crazy Eyes' candle has a blank book, two drama masks, and a broom. Last of all, there's Red with red nail polish, yogurt, chicken, and among other things.
With the poster's tagline "The Third Coming," series creator Jenji Kohan wants to instill some "faith" in the show. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, one of the actresses Danielle Brooks, also known as Taystee, told on Thursday: "Throughout season 1 to season 3, these are women that are all about survival. So survival has to be connected to faith," she elaborated.
