NEW YORK — Fans of “Orange Is the New Black” could do a double take this week in several large cities around the world — a familiar face may be looking back at them. Netflix has commissioned artists in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, Toronto, San Francisco, Sydney and Melbourne to paint murals of character Poussey Washington as both a tribute to her and a tease for the upcoming fifth season of the prison series, which starts June 9. Washington, an inmate portrayed by actress Samira Wiley, was a fan favorite whose sudden death at the hands of corrections officers at the end of the fourth season stunned many. Netflix joins other companies in embracing hand-painted murals in this digital age to get their messages out, including McDonald’s, Adidas, Ubisoft and Jack Daniels.
