'Orange Is the New Black' showrunner hints at finale seasonJuly 18 (AZINS) Orange Is the New Black showrunner Jenji Kohan has hinted that the seventh season of the Netflix series could very well be its last.

Kohan, who is also attached as the show's executive producer, said she has an ending in her mind which she "will not share".

"I haven't made a final decision yet, but I'm leaning toward ending it after seven - although the nature of the show is one that can go on and on because you can bring in new people.

"I think I do (have an ending). And I will not share it," she told The New York Times ahead of season five's debut.

Back in February 2016, the streaming giant renewed the hit prison drama for three seasons taking it through to season seven.

Orange Is the New Black returns for season six on July 27.
