An actress and producer-writer from Orange Is The New Black have married.

Actress Samira Wiley, who starred as the character Poussey Washington on the Netflix show, and Lauren Morelli wedded Saturday in Palm Springs, where they were engaged.

Wiley, 29, will also appear in the upcoming series The Handmaid's Tale, based on the 1985 novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood that depicts New England under a totalitarian theocracy.

Morelli, 34, has worked as a writer, story editor and producer of Orange Is The New Black, which depicts life inside a women's prison, since 2014.
