What is the final release date of "Orange is the New Black" season 4? What are the changes and innovations that the show has for its fans?

These could be two of the several questions that the followers of the Netflix drama-comedy series have in their minds right now.

According to Hidden Remote, the fourth instalment of the show is expected to hit the network by June 2016.

"If we go back a few years, season 2 of 'Orange Is the New Black' premiered on June 6th, 2014. Season 3 premiered on June 11th, 2015," the report noted. "So if we take that information and run with it, the next season of our favorite female-centric drama should drop on Netflix in early June."

And with June 3 as the first Friday of the said month, the report claimed that it could be the most possible schedule for its premiere.

On the other hand, Pop Sugar reported that Alex Vause (as portrayed by Laura Prepon) might just be alive.

The outlet pointed out that although one of Kubra's assassins was about to gun her down, it was never shown if she was indeed shot. Therefore, there is still a possibility that Vause will be part of "Orange is the New Black" season 4.

"It's a cliff-hanger that makes us wonder whether she dies, but an Instagram Laura Prepon posted this week might give us hope," the report stated.

Another hint for this possibility was Prepon's latest Instagram photo.

In her post, the actress shared a snap with the caption "Glasses✔️Eyeliner✔️Badge✔️ ...excited to get out there and make an awesome season for you guys! #season4 #alexvause #Oitnb #bestfansever."

Since the photo "looks so current," should the "Orange is the New Black" fans consider it as a huge clue that the said Litchfield Penitentiary inmate will be around during the premiere of the show's season 4?
