"Orange is the New Black," a comedy-drama web television series on Netflix, has brought laughter and tears to fans of the show. Now, reports circulating around the internet have revealed that viewers will be in for a major change in Season 5 of the hit show about the women of Litchfield Penitentiary.

According to Business Insider, Season 5 of "Orange is the New Black" will be different compared to previous seasons because the upcoming season will take place during a "very limited span" of time. Danielle Brooks, who portrays Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson, teased that the upcoming season will take place in less than a week.

On Jan. 29 at the SAG Awards red carpet event, Brooks told E! that "Season 5 is done over the course of three days. You will watch 13 episodes, and find out what happens in the course of three days. So, it will be very detailed, very intense, and you better get ready. Get your popcorn, your tissues, everything. I don't know when it's coming out because they never tell us, but sometime in the summer."

This "three-day scope" for "Orange is the New Black's" fifth season could be interesting as there are "some fun speculations" about how it will fit in with the show's plot. In Season 4, "a killer (or not killer) cliffhanger" was caused by Season 4 being full of guards who took delight in abusing their power over the women of Litchfield Penitentiary.

Fans have surmised that Season 5 could pick up right where Season 4 left off to put "viewers right back in the vengeful moment" as opposed to revealing details via exposition drawn out through a much longer time period.

The three-day duration of Season 5 is also a drastic change since "Orange is the New Black" purposely keeps "the time span of each season vague" to not reveal the time left for each character's sentence, per The Hollywood Reporter.
