Piper Chapman will have to serve a longer sentence: Netflix’s women-in-prison drama “Orange Is the New Black” has been renewed for a third season.
The announcement came a month before the scheduled June 6 premiere of the show’s second season. The series stars Taylor Schilling as Piper, a woman sentenced to prison on an old drug charge.
