Fans aren’t ready to say goodbye to Orange Is The New Black, and apparently, neither is Lionsgate.
Last month, Netflix announced that one of their longest-running original shows will come to an end in 2019 with its seventh and final season.
During an earnings call Thursday (per THR), Lionsgate TV Group chairman Kevin Beggs suggested a sequel series.
“We’re really proud of the long run that Orange Is the New Black had,” Beggs said. “It remains one of Netflix’s most-watched shows. We’re ending on a high note. Keep in mind we own that series and will be distributing it for years to come. We’re already in discussions and, when the timing is right, we’ll talk further with [the show’s creator] Jenji [Kohan] about a potential sequel.”
