Speaking at the first ever New York-based PaleyFest event, Orange is the New Black season 2 creator Jenji Kohan says to expect a more balanced story line.

Specifically, Kohan says that while Orange is the New Black season 1 was heavy on Piper’s entering and adjustment to prison, in season 2 the focus will turn to the cast as a whole.

“It’s becoming much more of an ensemble,” Kohan told TV Guide this week. “As much as I love Piper and Taylor and her journey, I think people are interested in everybody’s journey.”

Kohan went on to confirm that several fan favorites will get more of the spotlight. According to TV Guide, “Kohan does promise we’ll see some of the fan favorites, including Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba), who we learned in Season 1 was likely adopted, but not much else. Kate Mulgrew, who plays Red, also promises we’ll see some of Poussé (Samira Wiley) and Black Cindy’s (Adrienne Moore) histories, while Danielle Brooks is hoping to learn more about her own character. ‘I’m dying to learn more about [Taystee]!” she says. “And some of the guards. How interesting would it be to go into their lives?'”

Added Kohan, “Knock on wood, if there’s a Season 3, we’re really talking about focusing in on the guards more then.”

Jason Biggs, who plays Piper’s husband Larry, revealed small clues about where their relationship is headed: “Beginning of Season 2 and throughout we’re going to see or at least explore if the damage that was done is irreparable or if they can work through this.”

Orange is the New Black season 2 premieres next year exclusively on Netflix. Thanks to TV Guide for the interview bits.
