Orange Is the New Black: 5 Main Characters Who Are Introduced in Season 4

Over three seasons, Orange Is the New Black introduced viewers to a wide variety of colorful characters with all kinds of personalities and backgrounds. Season four brought a handful of new inmates, plus some awful guards. Here are the latest additions to the bunch!

01
Judy King

Judy King

Of all the new characters we've met so far, we know the most about Judy King, played by Blair Brown. She briefly pops up in season three as a Martha Stewart-esque celebrity chef who's charged with tax evasion, and she's a major part of season four.

Alison Abdullah

One of the best things about Orange Is the New Black is its celebration of diversity, and season four doesn't seem to be shying away from that. Hijab-wearing Alison Abdullah joins the cast in season four, but we still don't have a lot of information about her.

03
Desi Piscatella
Netflix

Desi Piscatella

More inmates plus season three's staff walkout mean more guards have to come into the picture as well. Among the new additions is Desi Piscatella, played by Brad William Henke, who has starred on a number of shows. Unfortunately, Piscatella is kind of a d*ck.

04
CO Humphrey
Netflix

CO Humphrey

Humphrey (pictured in the middle) is one of the new guards, and he is seriously twisted. At one point, he makes Maritza eat either roaches or a baby mouse at gunpoint. If you're wondering why he looks familiar, it's probably because you've seen actor Michael Torpey before.

05
Hapakuka
Netflix

Hapakuka

While she's at first at odds with bunkmate Piper, the two learn to get along, and Hapakuka becomes Piper's "muscle."
