Laverne Cox and Taylor Schilling in 'Orange is the New Black' - Photo Credit: Ursula Coyote for NetflixThe wait is over…well, not quite over but at least we now know when Orange is the New Black will be back on Netflix. Netflix confirmed season two will be released on Friday, June 6, 2014.
All 13 episodes of the second season of the Golden Globe and Writers Guild of America Awards nominated series will be available on June 6th, everywhere Netflix is available.
The Basics on the Series:
From Weeds creator Jenji Kohan comes Orange is the New Black, a women’s prison drama with comedy that takes no prisoners. Based on the acclaimed memoir of the same name by Piper Kerman, the series is about engaged Brooklynite Piper Chapman, whose decade-old relationship with drug-runner Alex results in her arrest and year-long detention in a federal penitentiary. To pay her debt to society, Piper must trade her comfortable New York life with fiancé Larry, for an orange prison jumpsuit and a baffling prison culture where she is forced to question everything she believes about herself and the world at large. As she struggles to adjust to her new reality, she finds unexpected laughter, tears, conflict and camaraderie amidst an eccentric and outspoken group of inmates.
Neil deGrasse Tyson shares his knowledge of space in Fox’s Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey. The 13-part documentary series will premiere on March 9, 2014.
Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts the docuseries directed by Brannon Braga, Bill Pope, and Ann Druyan. Druyan and Steven Soter write, and Druyan, Seth MacFarlane, Mitchell Cannold, and Brannon Braga executive produce.
The Synopsis: More than three decades after the debut of Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, Carl Sagan’s stunning and iconic exploration of the universe as revealed by science, COSMOS: A SPACETIME ODYSSEY sets off on a new voyage for the stars. Sagan’s original creative collaborators – writer/executive producer Ann Druyan and astronomer Steven Soter – have teamed with Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad) to conceive a 13-part series that will serve as a successor to the Emmy Award and Peabody Award-winning original series.
Hosted by renowned astrophysicist and author Neil deGrasse Tyson (Death By Black Hole, Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier), the series will explore how we discovered the laws of nature and found our coordinates in space and time. It will bring to life never-before-told stories of the heroic quest for knowledge and transport viewers to new worlds and across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale.
COSMOS: A SPACETIME ODYSSEY will invent new modes of scientific storytelling to reveal the grandeur of the universe and re-invent celebrated elements of the legendary original series, including the Cosmic Calendar and the Ship of the Imagination. The most profound scientific concepts will be presented with stunning clarity, uniting skepticism and wonder, and weaving rigorous science with the emotional and spiritual into a transcendent experience.
Carl Sagan’s original series, Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, was first broadcast in 1980 and has been enjoyed by more than 750 million people worldwide.
