15 Most Hotly Anticipated TV Shows Of Summer 2017

3. Orange Is The New Black

Orange is the New Black (which is, for my money, Netflix's best original series) is entering its fifth season, a time when dramas can found it difficult to keep things fresh.

It seems like OTINB won't have such struggles though, as they're changing up the format for Season 5: it picks up right where the great Season 4 left off, with Daya pointing a gun at Humphrey's head, her fellow inmates egging her on. From there we get a decompressed story, taking place in 'real time' over just three days, with a full-blown prison riot.

The series is increasingly leaving its comedy side behind, but that means darker, more powerful storytelling in Season 5.

Premiere Date: June 9
