Orange is the New Black (OITNB) is back for a third series and In:Demand's Lydia Batham caught up with four of the cast in Paris.

OITNB follows the lives of Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling), a middle-class New Yorker who has been sentenced to 15 months in a women's prison for a crime that happened ten years previously.

Once in prison she is reunited with her ex-girlfriend, the girl she was smuggling drugs for - which ended her up behind bars.

When asked about the 'family dynamics' between the cast Taylor told how it's 'like a big weird family', saying Genji, the series creator would be 'mama bear'.

Taylor says caught a glimpse of Beyonce while they were in Paris and they still get star struck.

Laura Prepon (who plays Alex Vause) and Laverne Cox (who plays Sophia Burset) also joined Lydia.

Laura says she's proud of what the show has achieved over the past three years, 'proud doesn't even describe (it), it's a great word but it's just hard to really explain what this show has meant to me personally.' She says the show has really touched some people's lives.

Laverne, who is a transgender goes on to tell how she received a letter from an 18-year-old trans male who was on the verge of suicide, having seen Laverne in an acting role he realised it would be possible to make it in the industry and is now at university.
