Discussing the main themes in Orange Is The New Black‘s fourth season, the show’s creator Jenji Kohan said at a US press event over the weekend: “We start with political agendas, the corporatisation of the prison, the stratification of people into their little mosaic groups. We want it to be a surprise, but [you can expect] all the fun stuff like race and hate and some things from current events that we wanted to filter through our lens.”

Kohan also confirmed that the show’s focus will continue to shift away from Taylor Schilling’s character Piper Chapman, who was originally at the centre of many of its storylines. “This was always intended as an ensemble show,” Kohan explained. “Piper was our entrée to our world. She’s always a presence and we’re invested in her story, but as it grows, we’re invested in everyone’s story.”
