Orange is the New Black season 7 returning characters
Here's who is coming back after some time away from our screens
There are almost too many characters in Orange is the New Black to remember all of their names - but that didn't stop fans from pining for a collection of absentees during season 6.
Soso, Maritza, Big Boo and many more of our favourite inmates were all taken off to different prisons at the end of season five after the riot. But thankfully most of them get a look-in during the final ever season.
Find out who is coming back to Orange is the New Black season 7 below.
