Netflix Picks Up 'Orange is the New Black' for 3 More Seasons

"Orange is the New Black" will be around until at least Season 7.

Ahead of its fourth season premiere on June 17, Netflix announced Friday it renewed the prison dramedy for three more seasons, the Hollywood Reporter reports.

Creator and executive producer Jeni Kohan will remain as showrunner.

"Jenji and her team have produced a phenomenal and impactful series that is both funny and dramatic, outrageous and heartfelt. Audiences around the world have come to love the ladies and men of 'Orange is the New Black,' and we are eager to see where three more seasons will take them," Netflix's vice president, original content, Cindy Holland, said in a statement.

She added: "Three more years! Not quite a political term, but still plenty of time to do some interesting things. In some cultures, 'May you lead an interesting life,' is a curse, but I don't live in those cultures. Here's to keeping it interesting. Thanks Netflix! Both thanks and you're welcome Lionsgate! And kudos and gratitude to the stellar cast and crew and writers and producers and editors and musicians and mixers and shleppers... with whom I have the pride and honor of crafting this show. Three more years! Three more years!"

The Hollywood Reporter notes that with the latest renewal, "OITNB" becomes the longest-running original show on Netflix.
