If you thought things at Litchfield Penitentiary were too comfortable, Orange is the New Black is shaking things up. The Season 6 trailer takes the inmates to maximum security, adding new inmates and significantly complicating life at Litchfield.

After a polarizing Season 5 which followed the real-time rioting of the outraged Litchfield inmates, Season 6 picks up with the law back on hand and cracking down more than ever. Everyone involved in the riot is facing consequences and possible new charges – and Alex (Laura Prepon) is nowhere to be seen.

The trailer – set to a tense cover of Fiona Apple's "Criminal" – is equally full of lighthearted moments from the alleged comedy series, but let's be real, we're here for the drama.

Orange is the New Black Season 6 premieres July 27 on Netflix.
