Season 3 ended with a tease of an influx of new inmates into Litchfield, and the trailer reveals just how many there are: 100.

That's a lot of new prisoners.

Obviously we're not going to be spending a great deal of time with that many of them, but just the sheer numbers alone are going to cause chaos, with overcrowding becoming a serious issue and various divides opening up.

Of the new inmates, the most high profile is celebrity chef Judy King, who'll be played by Blair Brown. Already setup as the show's version of Martha Stewart, Blair described her character to TV Guide as:

"She's slightly appalling and very good and very cheerful and probably fairly amoral. And it's interesting to watch because she's so other than anybody else in prison."

Seeing how King and the other new inmates create some waves is going to be on of the more interesting elements of Season 4.
