"Orange Is The New Black" season 5 will air soon but not soon enough for fans who are dying to find out what will happen next. Rumors say that aside from SHU getting to be smaller for most inmates; it will be like hell when it gets crowded with familiar faces from previous seasons. And the fact that there is an air of uncertainty and unpredictability in SHU, the inmates will be on their toes the rest of next season as well.

News Every Day reported that life at the SHU will become more challenging than ever. Poussey's death got surprised reactions from fans last season with a lot of followers taking negative reactions to social media. With Poussey's death come a slew of old characters that are rumored to return in "Orange Is The New Black" season 5.

Just two of the many familiar characters set to return are Lully, played by Lori Pretty, Benett, played by Matt McGorry and Golden Girl Taslitz, played by Judith Roberts. Of course OITNB staples like Alex, played by Laura Prepon, Piper, played by Taylor Schilling, Crazy Eyes, played by Uzo Aduba and Daya, played by Dasha Polanco will all be in season 5.

And what would be "Orange Is The New Black" without the unpredictable Dayanara Diaz? It looks like she will be bad as ever again in season 5 but this time it could be solitary confinement for her. Daya's aggressiveness will be her downfall but in the end, she will get help from Benett.
