In case you were worried the mystery surrounding BBC America’s original series Orphan Black would never be solved, take a deep breathe – Orphan Black is getting a Season 2!
Orphan Black is a new BBC America original series premiering after Doctor Who this weekend. It centers on Sarah, an orphan who finds out she’s one of many clones after stealing the identity of a woman she thought simply resembled her. We got an early look at the first episode which has lead actress Tatiana Maslany taking on the daunting task of playing several different roles with distinct accents and personalities, and in a press conference call we spoke with Maslany and co-creator/director John Fawcett. Turns out, there’s a huge amount fan reaction to a show that has yet to air.
It’s premiering the same night as Doctor Who on BBC America so hopefully some Whovians will stick around to give this interesting story a try. Orphan Black is an original scripted series for BBC America focusing on the story of Sarah, an orphan who gets more trouble than she expected after stealing the identity of a woman who looks just like her, a woman who also happened to commit suicide right in front of her [Warning, that is included in the scene you will see here]. Check out the first three minutes of the premiere episode thanks to Entertainment Weekly. Also check out the full trailer here. Orphan Black premieres March 30 at 9:00pm ET/PT, as part of BBC America’s Supernatural Saturday.
Orphan Black follows Sarah, a life-long petty con-artist, whose discovery of her dead doppleganger makes her think she’s on the brink of the biggest easy job she’s ever found. But then she uncovers the existence of dozens of women who look just like her living completely different lives around the world, and it turns out that someone is trying to quietly kill them all, including her. Well that escalated quickly!
