Following their recent wins this awards season, Orange Is The New Black is going to stick around as a perennial awards season favorite.

Months before season 4 of Orange Is The New Black starts streaming on Netflix, seasons 5-7 have just been ordered, which is pretty much unprecedented for TV series these days. In fact, it’s often news if a TV series makes it to the end of a TV season without incident (i.e. getting cancelled, having showrunners switched out, etc.).

While the issue of what Netflix’s metrics are for ratings are still up for debate amongst the viewing public (mainly competing linear TV networks), a 3 season pick up should be a pretty good indication that a show is doing well.
