According to the report, the season premiere first began circulating on illegal file-sharing website Pirate Bay on Friday. Episodes 2-10 were subsequently leaked on Saturday after Netflix reportedly refused to pay the hackers an undisclosed amount of money to keep the episodes offline.
OITNB Season 5 picks right where the Season 4 finale left off — with all hell breaking lose at Litchfield in the wake of Poussey’s death. All 13 episodes will take place in real time and over the course of three days, “leaving the inmates’ lives forever changed as they are emboldened to fight for redemption, resolution and the respect they deserve,” per the official logline.
