What happens

Orange Is the New Black (sometimes abbreviated to OITNB) is an American comedy-drama television series created by Jenji Kohan for Netflix. It is based on Piper Kerman's memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison (2010), about her experiences at FCI Danbury, a minimum security federal prison. Produced by Tilted Productions in association with Lionsgate Television, the series premiered on Netflix on July 11, 2013, and ran for seven seasons until July 26, 2019. Orange Is the New Black received critical acclaim throughout its run and many accolades. Among other awards, it garnered 16 Emmy Award nominations and four wins in comedy and drama (the first series to score nominations in both genre categories), six Writers Guild of America Award nominations, six Golden Globe Award nominations, a Producers Guild of America Award, an American Film Institute Award, and a Peabody Award. As of 2016, Orange Is the New Black was Netflix's most-watched as well as its longest-running original series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
