"Orange is the New Black" ended its fourth season with the shocking death of Poussey (Samira Wiley). With Poussey gone, fans started to think that "Orange is the New Black" Season 5 might kill another major character.
As previously reported by GamenGuide, Taylor Schilling, who plays Piper in the series, could be the next one to go in "Orange is the New Black" Season 5. Piper is considered the main protagonist and rumors have it that the Netflix series will pull a "Game of Thrones" next season and kill her off. She has created enemies for herself in season 4 and this could be one of the ways she could die in the series.
Although reports about Piper's impending death in "Orange is the New Black" Season 5 lack evidence, most people believe that it should not be ruled out. As explained by iDigitalTimes, it's possible for the character to die considering she has angered the Latino group in the penitentiary. In addition, the final scenes in season 4 finale featured the inmates in a riot. With all the violence going on inside the prison, accidental deaths may occur and Piper could be one of the victims, the report explained.
Whether or not Piper will die in the next season remains to be seen but what's more likely at this point is Taystee (Danielle Brooks) seeking to avenge the death of Poussey. It was even Brooks who hinted during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that her character might be pushed to the edge and might do something in "Orange is the New Black" Season 5.
"It's war," she said, explaining how Taystee started off as someone who is "full of light and love." Later on, she lost her mother and then her closest friend, Poussey, next. "Now she's seen the death of her closest friend and has no justice for that." Given that people close to Taystee has already left, Brooks believes her character has nothing to lose. Fans will just have to wait for the premiere of "Orange is the New Black" Season 5 to find out what Taystee can do next. The series is expected to return sometime next year.
