‘Orange is the New Black’ Season 5: Release Date, Spoilers, Predictions – Daya takes CO Humphrey’s life, Maria Remains Boss

"Orange is the New Black" Season 5 release date is not yet announced and hence remains uncertain. Season 4 ended with a cliffhanger with Daya's scene. Is Maria the reason behind the emotional rush?

To recap, the "Orange is the New Black" Season 4 ended with an emotional rush scene involving Daya. The scene, which was nail-biting, shows an interesting expression from Daya. She was torn between pressure and intense feelings. In the same scene, there was a girl and a gun!

Jessica Pimental, who portrays Maria Ruiz in "Orange is the New Black" Season 4 revealed that there was something big in store for Season 5. Reports say that Maria's role has taken a new turn and she has become a mob boss. It is enough to guess that she might be the reason for more tension inside Litchfield.

"If you're a boss, you don't get your hands dirty ever. So [for Maria], it's like, 'Oh, damn, I'd like to shoot that guy. Daya, pick that [gun] up. I'm never going to get my hands dirty.' ... [Maria] has no reason to live at this point," she said.

Daya might shoot and kill the sadist Correctional Officer Thomas Humphrey (Michael Torpey) in the hallway. This will be revealed only in the Season 5 of "Orange is the new black." The girl who was seen was Maria and the gun will be used to kill the officer.

However, fans also feel that Daya will be stopped from committing the murderous crime by Gloria, despite her violent leadership.

Lolly Whitehall's fate will pile up the tension in the Season 5 of "Orange is The New Black." Also, Benett will return to the series.

It is predicted that Lolly will have more exposure in "Orange is the New Black" Season 5 owing to the deaths of the great characters in the series. The reason to kill Lolly, Poussey, is already gone.

"Orange is the New Black" Season 5 will verify the truth of the gossips and confirm the predictions. Fans are waiting for the announcement of the release date. Predictions include Daya shooting CO Thomas Humphrey, Maria to turn more violent, Benett's come back and the position of Lolly.
