Here are sneak peeks of the upcoming fourth season of "Orange Is the New Black". Netflix has released new photos to tease the troubles that are bound to happen to the inmates in Litchfield.

Things are not looking good, particularly for Piper (Taylor Schilling) and Sophia (Laverne Cox). The former is shown being abused by fellow inmates in one picture, and the latter, who sports short, natural hair, is locked up in solitary in another shot.

A photo of Alex (Laura Prepon) appears to confirm that she's alive after she's cornered by one of her enemies, Aydin (Juri Henley-Cohn), in the greenhouse. "It continues five seconds later," Prepon previously told EW of where the fourth season picked up, "which is really great because at the end of last season ... I was in the greenhouse, and there was all this craziness going on."

Poussey (Samira Wiley) and Judy King (Blair Brown), meanwhile, have become good buddies and have a good time in the kitchen. As for Gloria (Selenis Leyva) who quit her job as head of the kitchen last season, she's now back working under Red (Kate Mulgrew).

At the TCA winter press tour earlier this year, Blair Brown teased season 4, "Because [season 3] ends with the overcrowding in the prison, you do push all the groups together and the alliances that happen are unexpected."

"OITNB" season 4 premieres June 17 on Netflix.
