Bad news "Orange is the New Black" fans, recent reports have confirmed that Pablo Schreiber's character, Pornstache, will not be returning for Season 3 of the hit Netflix series. Pablo Schreiber announced the news himself saying he will not be reprising his role in "OITNB" Season 3, which is currently in production in New York, due to his series regular responsibilities on HBO series "The Brink."

In an interview with The New York Post Schreiber said of his role, "I'm not taking part in the third season. I'm a member of a show called The Brink that's going to be on HBO. It's a half-hour comedy with Jack Black and Tim Robbins and me [as] the three leads. I'm really excited about it."

He continued, "I respect [creator Jenji Kohan] to no end. I think she writes the best dialogue on TV right now. While season three is out of the picture, beyond that is open."

After hearing the news many fans reacted drastically and Schreiber reassured them George "Pornstache" Mendez wouldn't be gone forever tweeting, "For all the over-reactors: Just bc P-Stache won't be on Season 3, doesn't mean we won't see him again..." Check out the tweet below:

Since season one Pornstache's role has been significantly short. He is last seen being sent away due to Daya (Dascha Polanco) revealing she is pregnant with his child although it is really Bennett's (Matt McGorry). It'll be interesting to see how his role will stay alive in Season 3 as Mary Steenburgen has been rumored to play his mother.
