Yes, NOW.

Netflix made the announcement via Twitter while the show's cast was celebrating the new season -- and the very first OrangeCon -- in New York City.

Attention inmates! Orange Is the New Black season 3 is out on early release. #OrangeCon— Netflix US (@netflix) June 12, 2015

The plan had been for the new season to drop at midnight PT.

We, of course, are not going to argue with this change of plans because it means we all get a full night's sleep.

That is, unless you plan on watching the whole season straight through. In which case, we bow to you, magical nocturnal friends.

Great idea, Netflix. No one has ever enjoyed waiting until 3:01 AM ET for one of your new seasons.— Andrew Sims (@sims) June 12, 2015
