When Orange Is the New Black returns to Netflix on June 12, there will be a new face among the Litchfield inmates. Showrunner Jenji Kohan was asked about the new season at the TIME 100 Gala, and she revealed that there will be a new character based on convicted felon, Comedy Central roastess with the mostest, and lifestyle maven Martha Stewart. We don’t know what her name is, nor do we know who plays her, but, according to Kohan, it’s someone worth looking forward to, from what it sounds like.

Guess who was also at the Gala? Martha Stewart! Naturally, The Stew was asked about this new character, but she admitted that she’d never watched the show. (Fun fact: Stewart was almost sent to the Danbury prison on which Litchfield is based; instead, she went to a facility in West Virginia.) However, it’s not that she has hard feelings about it because she said, “I’ll look at it.”

So, that’s a good thing.
