Orphan Black is bringing its DNA back to tv.
The popular sci-fi series about human clones, which ran for 5 seasons on BBC America, is getting its own spin-off. Orphan Black: Echoes will premiere on AMC+ in 2023, the network revealed April 6.
In addition to streaming, the program is likewise anticipated to air on either BBC America or AMC.
It is uncertain if Tatiana Maslany, who won an Emmy in 2016 for playing the 5 primary clones on the initial series, will repeat any– or all!– of her functions.
“Set in the near future, the new Orphan Black takes a deep dive into the exploration of the scientific manipulation of human existence,” according to the network. “It follows a group of women as they weave their way into each other’s lives and embark on a thrilling journey, unravelling the mystery of their identity and uncovering a wrenching story of love and betrayal.”
Whether Maslany returns or not, the program’s fans can take solace in the reality that Orphan Black co-creator John Fawcett will be back as a director and executive manufacturer on Echoes.
