'Orange is the New Black' Season 3 Netflix Release Date: Taylor Schilling New Interview with Uzo Aduba, Jenji Kohan, Kate Mulgrew and Laverne Cox

'Orange Is The New Black' Season 3 for Netflix is currently in production, but the cast recently took the time to speak with the LA Times about the hit show from their set at Kaufman-Astoria Studios in Queens, N.Y.. "Orange is the New Black" has received 12 Emmy nominations this year and the show keeps gaining in popularity.

Cast members Taylor Schilling (Piper), Kate Mulgrew (Red), Uzo Aduba (Crazy Eyes) and Laverne Cox (Sophia) were present, along with show creator Jenji Kohan. They open up about the environment on a set full of women and their memories of auditioning for the show. You can read the Full interview with the ladies from the LA Times.

When asked about what the work enviornment is like working on the set, Schilling shared, "We do have a natural rapport with one another. It's like we all signed this contract we've never spoken of." Kohan added, "No one is slacking, so if you're the one who isn't bringing it - it shows."

The question was raised as to what it was like working on a set full of women. Aduba shared, "In my lifetime, I have only had two artistic experiences that were entirely female dominated. In both of those areas, they've cut into the marrow of my spirit and soul. It's about being part of something that's authentic, being in a female-driven experience that is truly at heart seeking out the kernel of truth and is in support of women."

Schilling added, "This has changed my life in every capacity, this whole experience. Personally and professionally. So many courageous people have come together to say we have the same goal, the same aims - we're telling the same story."

Kohan: "But it becomes a dance: I hear your voices in my head. I'm a little schizophrenic. It's become this symbiotic experience where we feed off of each other and I hear your characters and voices. We have your pictures on the walls [of the writers' room], and you have become the characters now."

They share about audition memories. Mulgrew revealed, "I was given only two little pages; I think it was indicated at the top that she was a Russian woman who had been inside for many years. But it was a mere suggestion. When that came into my imagination, - the Red I do now [slips into Russian accent] is an odd thing, a kismet thing - that's what was intended. It was a moment of magic."

Schilling revealed, "Sometimes I feel like I should be working harder. But Jenji said when it's right, it's easy. When it's right, it just goes easy."

"Orange is the New Black" Season 3 is scheduled to release on Netflix in June 2015.
