Presenting the First 7 Photos From Orange Is the New Black's Last Season — and 1 Incredible Poster

Orange Is the New Black is set to return for its seventh and final season — that's right, final — on Netflix at the end of July. Not that you had any doubts, but rest assured that Jenji Kohan's series will continue tackling "the most difficult, relevant, and human stories of our time" in its last outing, according to Netflix, as it deals with drug addiction, mental illness, unexpected friendships, and life on the outside. But, since the show's premiere date is still far off, the streaming platform graciously shared a handful of photos from the upcoming episodes that tease what's to come for Litchfield's finest.

Piper, of course, is now free. After nabbing an early release at the end of season six, it seems she'll have some struggles dealing with life on the outside. Meanwhile, back in Max, Taystee comes to terms with her life sentence as she tries to figure out what to do about her friendship with Cindy, and Gloria and her kitchen staff are forced to contend with PolyCon's latest money-making scheme. Get a glimpse of Red, Nicky, Suzanne, and more fan-favorite characters in the photos from season seven, ahead.

Netflix's official description of the new poster reads: "This season, the cast and creators of Orange Is The New Black are honoring the passionate fans that have evangelized this beloved show over the years, by having the Orange Army themselves create the key art for the series finale. Ten dedicated, talented, and diverse artists from across the globe — the UK, Armenia, Brazil, Italy, and the US – were hand selected via social media to have their showpiece displayed across busses, buildings, and billboards all over the world, in celebration of the seventh and final season premiere."

Lorna, Red, Nicky, Flaca, and Gloria await a trip to . . . somewhere.

Fingers crossed Blanca and Taystee are able to form a friendship in season seven. This photo looks promising!

Who could Alex be calling with that smuggled-in phone, hmm? Maybe her new (and absent) wife?

Nicky snuggles up to Red in this melancholy shot. (Also, are we still calling her Red if her hair is no longer . . . well, red?)

Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett appears to be taking some kind of exam.

Piper doesn't look like she's having a good time on the outside, huh? Going from prison to the streets of New York City has to be jarring.
