All the characters who didn't return on the new season of 'Orange Is the New Black'
Netflix
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Netflix's "Orange Is the New Black."
A three-day long prison riot ended with heavily-armed guards raiding Litchfield Penitentiary on the fifth season of "Orange Is the New Black," but not all the inmates who were last seen boarding buses to new correctional facilities made it to season six.
The show has always juggled multiple storylines and featured an expansive cast, but many of the characters that fans had become invested in are nowhere to be seen on the series’ latest season.
While Piper (Taylor Schilling) and many of the others end up at the maximum-security prison down the road from Litchfield, other inmates are taken to prisons around the country and may never be heard from again. Executive producer Tara Herrmann told The Hollywood Reporter that missing characters could possibly return on Season seven, but it would have to be "organic" for them.
"We never want to suddenly be in a world that we haven’t set up," she said. "But we love those characters and miss them as storytellers for sure, so we hope to always see them."
Here are the characters that didn’t return on the the latest season:
Brook Soso (Kimiko Glenn)
Netflix
Brook spent much of season five heartbroken and mourning the death of her girlfriend, Poussey Washington (Samara Riley), who was killed by CO Bayley (Alan Aisenberg) on season four. After building an elaborate memorial out of the prison's library books to honor Poussey, Brook is last seen sitting stoically in the middle of a hallway when guards storm the building and forcibly carry her out to the prison's front lawn.
Maritza Ramon (Danielle Guerrero)
Netflix
Maritza spent most of last season’s riot working on content for her DIY YouTube channel, "Flaritza," with her BFF Flaca (Jackie Cruz). After the guards end the riot, Maritza and Flaca are separated and made to line up for different buses headed to new correctional facilities. Maritza yells “I love you” to Flaca, who ultimately ends up at MCC’s maximum security prison, while Maritza is taken elsewhere.
Mei Chang (Lori Tan Chinn)
Netflix
Chang had a memorable send off on Season five when she discovers and escapes through a hole in the prison’s fence. Though she’s not seen on season six, viewers learn she was found sleeping inside a hollowed-out deer carcass.
