In what is a beautiful cross-fandom moment, two stars of Orange is the New Black reenacted a scene from the Scandal season 3 premiere and posted it on Instagram.
Uzo Aduba and Danielle Brooks (who play Crazy Eyes and Taystee on the Netflix dramedy) spent a few minutes of downtime on the Orange is the New Black season 2 set recreating the scene where Olivia Pope and Rowan have a father-daughter moment. They posted it on Instagram:
Wrote Brooks on Instagram, “Our little parody of #Scandal. Shoutout to #KerryWashington and #JoeMorton for giving us life!! #Orangegladiators stand up!! #greatwriting #youhavetobetwiceasgood #fun-times #oitnb #taystee #crazyeyes”
The hilarity of this Instagram is two fold: For one, Aduba and Brooks are in their full OITNB prison outfits. Two, they’re clearly huge fans of Scandal and are keeping up with the drama while they film the highly-anticipated second season of their Jenji Kohan-created show.
Scandal returns tomorrow night on ABC with their second episode of the season in which we’ll see Olivia Pope handling word of her Presidential affair being out in public. Meanwhile, Orange is the New Black season 2 continues to film in New York state and will premiere its new episodes in 2014.
Aduba and Brooks aren’t the only ladies enjoying Scandal. Last week’s season 3 opener premiered to a record 10.5 million viewers, making it the most-watched episode of the series. ABC can thank good word of mouth and the show’s presence on Netflix, making it easy for potential new Gladiators to catch up.
