The “Orange is the New Black” cast and crew already filming Season 3, says a report this week.
According to BuzzFeed, “the trailers are all lined up” and it included a photo of them. BuzzFeed also interviewed show actress Uzo Aduba, who plays “Crazy Eyes,” in the Netflix show.
She said she wouldn’t change her Nigerian name as an actress.
“When I started as an actor? No, and I‘ll tell you why. I had already gone through that. My family is from Nigeria, and my full name is Uzoamaka, which means ’The road is good,'” she told the website.
She said, “Quick lesson: My tribe is Igbo, and you name your kid something that tells your history and hopefully predicts your future. So anyway, in grade school, because my last name started with an A, I was the first in roll call, and nobody ever knew how to pronounce it.”
“So I went home and asked my mother if I could be called Zoe. I remember she was cooking, and in her Nigerian accent she said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘Nobody can pronounce it.
Without missing a beat, she said, ‘If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky and Michelangelo and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka’”
And according to MTV, the cast members also talked about what they want from Season 3.
“I just want her to be able to find her happiness and her place without having to look for it from some outside source. I want her to find her own voice and her own love, and really stand in that,” Abuda said.
And Taryn Manning, who plays Pennsatucky, she wants a “sing-along.”
“Wouldn’t it be great to see Pennsatucky lead a sing-along? I would pay money for that. No one would [follow her], but I think it would be funny to see her try to start one. It would have to be something so left field… something not biblical, but she thinks it is,” she said.
