Netflix’s hit show Orange is the New Black is coming back for its fifth season and it appears to be an intense one.

The trailer begins with Daya Diaz, played by Dascha Polanco, holding a gun to the face of corrections officer Thomas Humphrey (Michael Torpey) as her fellow inmates crowd around yelling for her to pull the trigger.

“Is this a real riot? This is a real riot,” says Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) as she approaches the crowd with Alex Vause (Laura Prepon). “If this is a real riot, do you think this is a step forward or backward for equality?”

“I don’t care and we’re getting out of here now,” Alex responds, “Come on!”

As noted by producers, the entire season takes place over the course of three days— likely following the death of one of the most beloved characters. No spoilers on who if you need to catch up.

Orange Is the New Black season five debuts on Netflix June 9.
