'Orange is the New Black' season 5 spoilers, air date: More death at Litchfield; Miss Claudette to come out of solitary confinement

Death will be one of the most prominent themes in the fifth season of "Orange is the New Black." Officer Humphrey (Michael Torpey) will reportedly be among the first to die in the upcoming episode. To help the inmates at Litchfield Penitentiary cope with all the recent happenings, fans are hoping for Miss Claudette (Michelle Hurst) to make a comeback.

Officer Humphrey is just one of the many people rumored to die in the upcoming season. Since the Corrections Officer was last seen held at gunpoint by Daya (Dascha Polanco), the character will reportedly be bidding goodbye to the show next season. The rest of the Hispanic inmates at the Penitentiary were also urging Daya to pull the trigger.

Since many characters are getting transferred to solitary confinement, many believe that Hurst's Miss Claudette will finally be released from her cell. According to reports, her appearance will help various inmates cope with the loss of Poussey (Samira Wiley) and deal with recent frustrations. Her character will reportedly remind other inmates to focus on working well and behaving instead of getting involved in mischief.

As previously reported, rumors are suggesting that the main character Piper (Taylor Schilling) will be killed off in the upcoming season. Since she entered the penitentiary, Piper has been making various enemies. Rumor has it that one of them would want to get back on Piper next season. It could either be her former lover Stella (Ruby Rose) or it could be Kubra (Eyas Younis).

"Orange is the New Black" season 5 is expected to launch in June next year.

Since the production team or the network has yet to reveal the details about the upcoming season, fans should treat the latest reports as speculation until proven otherwise.
