The upcoming fourth season of "Orange is the New Black" Season 4 will see the return of Natasha Lyonne as Nicky Nichols.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lyonne hinted on the possibility of seeing Nicky back on the hit Netflix series.
"I would actually argue that there are huge stakes for Nicky Nichols this season much more than any previous season. It makes sense that a self-destructive person would end up where she did," she said at that time.
The publication noted that Lyonne's attendance at the Season 4 panel served as a confirmation that she will reprise her character on the show.
Meanwhile, Lyonne also talked about Nicky's fate while she was at Maximum Security. The actress said that she believes her character's stint there will have a huge impact on her this season.
"It could really go both ways. People respond to all kinds of ways to intense situations beyond rules. That kind of discipline sometimes brings out the best in people and sometimes brings out that much more anger and rebellion. Certainly, at a certain point, I think Nicky would have to come to terms with her childhood and do some reconciling with her past if she's going to make peace with being an adult," she said.
Meanwhile, Lyonne is not the only cast member who will return to "Orange is the New Black" Season 4. Actress Laura Prepon previously confirmed her return after she posted a photo of her character Alex's identification card at Litchfield prison.
In an interview with TV Guide, Prepon talked about her character's fate and how her abduction will change her.
"She was justified in her paranoia about Lolly. I think that empowers her. In season 4, we definitely don't see a timid side of Alex," she said.
"Orange is the New Black" Season 4 will premiere on Netflix in June 2016.
