— -- The day "Orange Is the New Black" fans have been waiting for has nearly arrived!

Season three of the Netflix drama is set to premiere on Friday.

According to the trailer, all of the stars -- except for Vee (Lorraine Toussaint) -- are back, and there are new feuds to be had. Sofia (Laverne Cox) seems to have bad blood with Gloria (Selenis Leyva)("You need to get out of here before you add another 100 years to be my sentence," she sneers at the resident hairdresser), Alex (Laura Prepon) is seen swinging at newcomer Lolly (Lori Petty) and Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba) is in trouble with the prison guard who found her "pornographic" writing.

There appears to be other drama in the works too: Piper has landed Alex back behind bars, and a new inmate, played by Ruby Rose, may drive the two exes even further apart. Daya (Dascha Polanco) must be nearing the end of her pregnancy with Bennett's baby and per usual, Red (Kate Mulgrew) is dishing out advice about how to get by in Litchfield.

For those who don't remember where we left off, here's a brief summary of the season two finale: After Vee attacks Red and nearly kills her, she manages to convince Crazy Eyes that she was the one who did it. Crazy Eyes confesses, much to the dismay of Janae and Cindy, but Healy saves her by having an officer forge paperwork that says that Crazy Eyes couldn't have committed the crime. By then, however, Vee has escaped, but meets her end when Rosa, after being told that she only has a few weeks left to live, steals a van and mows her down.

Meanwhile, Piper (Taylor Schilling) is in personal turmoil. Alex, now out of prison, is planning to skip town because drug dealers are after her, and Piper is devastated. What's more, Piper learns that her best friend husband Larry is in love with her best friend Polly and, knowing that they're indebted to her, she asks them to call Alex's parole officer to let him know her plans to skip town. Alex gets caught.

Litchfield is changing too. Caputo (Nick Sandow) learns that Figueroa (Alysia Reiner) has been embezzling money from the prison and blackmails her into resigning. However, his reign gets off to a rocky start when Bennett confesses that hes' having an affair with Daya and Rosa escapes.

Bring on season three.
