Laverne Cox, who plays Sophia Burset on 'Orange is the New Black' said that the latest season would revolve around a serious and witty storyline.

Cox even disclosed some juicy details to tease the fans on the latest season. She said, "We started shooting season three the first week of June. We should be done around the end of this year. It's amazing. I think more of, but what our show does so well is it has a balance between the very serious and the comedic."

She mentioned that too much seriousness and drama in the plot is not good for the series in terms of entertainment. If that happens, fans might think that the story has grown too dark, changing the tone of the whole show.

This has led to rumors about what fans can expect when the show returns for Season 3. This time around, the series may just lighten up compared to previous installments.

On a side note, reports are saying that new cast members will be introduced to the show when it returns on Netflix. Beyond that, many of the original characters will also appear on the show. Laura Prepon is coming back as Alex Vause and Lori Petty is coming back as Lolly.

Lolly had a quick meeting with Taylor Schilling in the previous season. She was set to return with the intention to give the plot a crooked twist. Rumors have also been spread about the return of Mike Birbiglia in the third season. However, these rumors are only speculation at the moment.

Also, nothing much has been disclosed about the plot of Season 3. As fans are wondering where 'Orange is the New Black' is heading in terms of its storyline, fans should rest assured, that they're in for a great set of episodes.

'Orange is the New Black' Season 3 will release on Saturday June 6, 2015.
