The universe of the Orphan Black series will expand with Orphan Black: Echoes.
Set in the near future, Orphan Black: Echoes dives deep into the scientific manipulation of human existence. The ten-episode first season follows a group of women who invade the lives of others and embark on a thrilling journey to unravel the mystery of their identity and uncover a heartbreaking story of love and betrayal.
“I am very excited to start this new chapter in the world of Orphan Black,” said Anna Fishko, creator and showrunner of the new television series. “Creating a story that embraces the legacy of the original series has been very rewarding, and I can’t wait for viewers to embark on a new journey that explores important questions about what makes us who we are. I am incredibly fortunate to have supportive partners such as Boat Rocker, John Fawcett and AMC and look forward to delivering the next installment of this beloved story to audiences old and new.” Dan McDermott, President of Entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, added: “Sirota Black shone on BBC America, attracting millions of dedicated and passionate fans who were enchanted by Tatiana Maslany’s intellectual and compelling story and performance. We can’t wait to return with Anna, John and our partners at Boat Rocker and present a brand new #CloneClub-worthy take on this rich world. ”
