Orange Is The New Black Season 3 News: Two Main Characters May Return In Flashback Scenes

Big Boo And Alex May Get More Backstory In Upcoming Season

Orange is the New Black has a pretty substantial cast of characters all of which are in prison for their own reasons with their own stories that have nothing do with the main arc. Season 3 of the hit show may feature the background for two more main characters on the series.

Orange Is The New Black Is Done Playing Nice, Will See Violence In Prison

Big Boo (Lea DeLaria) and Alex (Laura Prepon) may be getting their own flashbacks in the series CrossMap hinted. This could signal that both of these women will be important to the upcoming season's plot. In the past, when we've had flashbacks of a prisoner's life before lockdown, it's been to further the story of what is happening inside the walls.

For example, we learned about Tastee's (Danielle Brooks) relationship with Vee (Lorraine Toussaint) before prison so that we could better understand what took place between them inside the walls. We've been treated to single scenes for minor characters and multiple episode clips that created complex back stories.

Obviously, we've already seen some of what Alex was up to before Litchfield thanks to Piper's flashbacks. We already know why she's in prison. Hopefully, if we see anymore, it reveals a more substantial backstory for her character rather than, "sexy ex-girlfriend of the main character".

In the case of Big Boo, we know nothing about her past and if she is to be given a backstory, it is likely to be very important to the overall season arc.

We don't know much about what the season will bring other than it will be about "faith". Orange is the New Black returns to Netflix this summer.
