'Orange is the New Black' Arrives on Netflix Thursday

Orange is the New Black, the new drama-comedy series that's exclusive to Netflix, starts airing Thursday at 12:01 a.m. PT (3:01 a.m. ET).

Created by Jenji Kohan, writer-producer of the highly acclaimed Weeds, OITNB follows Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling) as she ends up in prison for a mistake from her distant past.

Also starring are Jason Biggs of American Pie fame, as well as Laura Prepon, best known for her role as Donna in That '70s Show.

Already renewed for a second season, all 13 episodes of OITNB are available on Netflix as of Thursday.
