This is an absolute no at the time this article was written. Teenage Bounty Hunters has not been confirmed by any of the Orange Is the New Black actors.
This is not surprising, as producers and production companies love actors with whom they have a relationship.

Official Production Status: (Last Updated 21/07/2020).
The series was filming began in Summer 2019, with shooting beginning on July 4, and finishing on November 30, 2019.
Tilted Productions, who produced the episodes for OiTNB as well as GLOW, handled production.
Georgia was the location for all of the filming. This as quite significant as at the time as the ‘Heartbeat Bill’ was highly discussed in the media. The Bill could have had a negative impact on the series' future and the filming locations. Not to be forgotten, Georgia was chosen as the location of filming prior to the controversial Bill being raised.
Actors and other Hollywood stars came out to oppose the bill, with some threatening not to shoot in the area if it passed.

Teenage Bounty Hunters airs ten episodes. All 10 episodes are available immediately after their release.
There’s currently no confirmation on episode run times. Comparing the episodes of other series, Teenage Bounty Hunters episode run time can be estimated at around 40-55 to 50 minutes.
Most definitely. Most Originals arrive now in 4K, and Teenage Bounty Hunters are following suit.
You will need to subscribe to premium Netflix and have a 4K TV. Also, you must have an internet connection that can maintain 25Mbps.
Netflix has not yet released a trailer to Teenage Bounty Hunters. A trailer for Teenage Bounty Hunters will be released in 2020. This is due to filming still being completed.
This is largely dependent on how popular the series is. Teenage Bounty Hunters fits into this category.
Few titles can order multiple seasons at the same time, but it is possible to compare OItNB and the Original.
Orange Is the New Black ran for eight seasons and was very popular. However, the viewership had started to decline by the final season. We can only hope that the Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters will be half as popular as the OItNB.
