Jason Biggs – who plays Larry Bloom, one of the few men on the show and the fiancé of Piper (Taylor Schilling) – has confirmed he will not be in the upcoming third season. “They’re not focusing on Larry at the moment,” he told New York’s Daily News. “Larry will not be in season 3\. But there’s always a possibility he can come back.” The American Pie star, who has had some controversial moments on social media recently, won’t be idle during his character’s indefinite absence. Biggs is currently gearing up to costar in Broadway’s The Heidi Chronicles alongside Mad Men’s Elisabeth Moss. _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/orange-is-the-new-black-jason-biggs-not-returning-larry-season-3?xid=IFT-Trending "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com "undefined")_._ _Read next:_ [_The Problem With the New Emmy Category Rules_](http://time.com/3717059/emmys-categorize-shows/?xid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3717081/jason-biggs-no-oitnb-season-3/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3717081/jason-biggs-no-oitnb-season-3/"},"headline":"Jason Biggs Will Not Return to Orange Is the New Black","datePublished":"2015-02-20T19:49:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:35:38.404Z","description":"\"They are not focusing on Larry at the moment,\" the actor says of his character","url":"https://time.com/3717081/jason-biggs-no-oitnb-season-3/","keywords":["Television","Orange Is the New Black"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt459c513b7929da42/69878051cd1bbadd0d6f5530/461992670.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Janine Rayford Rubenstein / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt459c513b7929da42/69878051cd1bbadd0d6f5530/461992670.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Actor Jason Biggs attends the 30th Annual Artios Awards in New York City on Jan. 22, 2015.","caption":"Actor Jason Biggs attends the 30th Annual Artios Awards in New York City on Jan. 22, 2015.","creditText":"Andrew H.
