Calling all Big Boo, Taystee and Pennsatucky wannabes: The Netflix streaming hit "Orange Is the New Black" is filming its fourth season in New York and looking to cast "some scary female types" like the gruff inmates of Litchfield Penitentiary.

Ladies, if you live in the city and if you've been dying to play an intimidating female prisoner, this is your chance. You can send a picture of yourself looking your scariest to Central Casting New York, the background actors casting company based in Midtown, at orangeccny@gmail.com.

Old hands at "OITNB" background acting should include the color of the uniform they last wore on set. (New inmates wear orange uniforms, the general population wear khaki.)

The show was filming earlier this month in Astoria.

In April, Netflix announced the renewal of its award-winning series, a dramedy created by Jenji Kohan and based on Piper Kerman's memoir of her year in prison.
