5. New Alliances

With things changing within the prison, new inmates arriving, and people caught up in various rivalries, one of the things being teased for this year are new and unexpected alliances.

The relationships these characters form often represents one of the strongest elements of the show, so it's going to be fun to watch these develop. The one that definitely seems to be happening, and sounds pretty great, is a friendship between Poussey and newcomer Judy King. The former is one of the nicest characters on the show, but is obviously an admirer of the celebrity, so it'll be interesting to see how that goes.

As for other alliances, there's so many possibilities that it's hardly worth venturing a guess, but if they're as strong as the pairing of Big Boo and Pennsatucky last year then it'll be an excellent development for the show.
