From Dascha Polanco's Instagram.

- The episode titles for the entire season were released by Foxtel, the Australian distributor of ''Orange Is the New Black'', some days before the air date of Season Four. Dascha Polanco, however, had already revealed the names of 11 episodes on Instagram back in March, 2016. Apparently, "The Fidgabuster" and "Break in Case of an Emergency" were changed last minute.
- Jackie Cruz, Lea Delaria and Elizabeth Rodriguez have all been promoted to series regulars this season.
- Natasha Lyonne returns as a series regular this season.
