(CNN) "Orange Is the New Black" star Taylor Schilling says the upcoming season of the Netflix drama is the "most overtly political" yet. Schilling told CNN that filming Season 5 during the presidential election last year magnified the social issues explored in the series. The chaos of the new season plays out over three days -- in the aftermath of Poussey's [Samira Wiley] death. "Orange Is the New Black" will continue to tackle LGBTQ issues, the Black Lives Matter movement, mental illness and prison reform. "It's not always that your creative interests and your political interests and activism all kind of meld into one unified gig."
