There is no doubt that "Orange Is The New Black" is a hit. In fact, the comedy-drama series has gained several Emmy awards.

Meanwhile, "OITNB" is snubbed in the Emmy for the Best Drama Series, is the show losing its popularity?

Lolly Returns In 'Orange Is The New Black' Season 5

Parent Herald previously reported that Lori Petty, who plays Lolly will reprise her role in "Orange Is The New Black." The star is very positive on her future return in "OITNB."

"I certainly hope so. I do think we will. I can't say for sure, but I absolutely think we will," Petty told the Hollywood Reporter. Her character is very relatable and she knows that fans also want to see her back in "Orange Is The New Black."

Unfortunately, Lolly's return in "Orange Is The New Black" might be short-lived. Per Gonzo Army, there are rumors that Lolly should have been dead in "OITNB" Season 4. Since she made it alive, she could be the next victim of the correctional officers in Litchfield in "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5.

On a side note, Lori Petty is confident that the production will not kill her character in "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5. "No, my ego's too big to think that. You can't kill me! You already killed what I think is one of the greatest actors on our show, Samira Wiley. You can't kill everybody in the house!" she told Huffington Post.

'OITNB' Missed The Best Drama Series Nomination In Emmy 2016

In the Hollywood Reporter's list of Emmy snubs, "Orange Is The New Black" along with "Billions" and "UnReal" missed to score a nomination for best drama series in the upcoming Emmy Awards.

"Orange Is The New Black" star Uzo Aduba who bagged last year's "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series" and "Outstanding Guest Actress" in 2014 is nowhere to be found in the same category either per Deadline. Is "Orange Is The New Black" losing its popularity? Is the series going downhill?
