Orange is the New Black Season 3 Release Date, Spoilers: Netflix Saying Goodbye to George Mendez?

The filming of Orange is the New Black Season 3 is well underway, but no official release date about the Netflix original series has been announced. On a brighter note, the actresses of the show have been giving anxious fans input on what to expect in the upcoming installment.

Prepon's character, Alex Vause was not very visible in the previous season much to her disappointment. However, she recently announced that she will be present in almost every episode in the upcoming season, the actress told US Magazine "It sucked because [show creator] Jenji Kohan and I wanted me to be in it more, but with the schedule, it didn't happen. I was so bummed out. But I handled it, so I'm in every [episode] in season three. It is so good."

She announced that her relationship with Taylor Schilling's character, Piper Chapman will continue and will involve interesting developments. The actress also revealed that they will have several sex scenes with Chapman, "Honestly, Taylor and I are so comfortable with each other -- Thank God!" Prepon told E! News.

The actress revealed that they will be shooting a major sex scene for Season 3 and she continued by saying, "We're like, 'Girl, thank God we're so comfortable! I can't say much." She said referring to her co-star Schilling.

Meanwhile, there is less to see on George "Pornstache" Mendez's character played by actor Pablo Schreiber. Since his character is now in prison, the actor reveals that he will remain in prison, bidding his time which means fans will definitely miss his menacing ways. Also, he announced that he's been busy with other commitments so it is safe to say that his character in the series will definitely have minimal exposure.

"I'm a series regular now on a show called The Brink on HBO. But his mother is making an appearance on season three. Mary Steenburgen has been cast as my mom. I'm not sure what she'll do that will advance the Pornstache plotline, but for now, Mendez is in prison, biding his time," Schreiber announced to press.
