Lorraine Toussaint Not Returning to ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

It looks like Vee won't be back to Litchfield, after all.

Despite TMZ's report this morning that Lorraine Toussaint was on set for the third season of Netflix's ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, Entertaintment Weekly has confirmed that the actress will not be reprising her role, following the character's fate on the season two finale.

As EW puts it: "Viewers last saw Vee being slammed by a van driven by Miss Rosa (Barbara Rosenblat), Mean Girls-style, after escaping from the Litchfield Correctional Facility through the underground drain system. Toussaint previously confirmed Vee's death, but suggested that the door to that character was not entirely closed."

The second season of Netflix's Orange is the New Black goes back behind bars for another sentence with the fearless, funny and unforgettable inmates of Litchfield prison.

The series' ensemble includes Taylor Schilling, Jason Biggs, Prepon, Kate Mugrew,Danielle Brooks, Uzo Aduba,Natasha Lyonne, Taryn Manning, Laverne Cox, Michael Harney, Samira Wiley, Yael Stone and more. Lorraine Toussaint joins the cast in season two as Yvonne "Vee" Parker.
