Los Angeles: TV series 'Orange Is the New Black' will compete at the 2015 Primetime Emmy Awards in the drama category, after a petition for it to be shifted to the comedy slug, was denied.


'Orange Is the New Black' 

The TV Academy denied streaming service Netflix's petition to consider 'Orange Is the New Black' a comedy in this year's Emmy race. The show, which competed as a comedy at last year's Emmys, will have to compete as a drama, and its actors, writers and director too will compete in drama categories.
