She’s not the only one: It was recently revealed that Samira Wiley, who plays Poussey Washington, has also been upgraded after becoming a firm fan favourite.
Last month Adrienne C Moore, who plays Black Cindy, was also promoted.
Orange Is The New Black was renewed for a third season shortly before the second began streaming on June 6.
It has become a massive success for Netflix, which also owns House of Cards and Arrested Development.
