Tatiana Maslany rose to fame in the sci-fi thriller in which she played practically the entire cast of clones. When the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law actress won her Primetime Emmy in 2016 it was for starring as no fewer than five characters. 

Maslany starred as Sarah Manning, a British con woman who discovers that she is one of several illegally-created clones situated throughout North America and Europe and that someone is trying to kill them. Together with her “sisters” (all played by Maslany) they attempt to figure out who created them and why.

Although Orphan Black came to an end in 2017, it was announced three years ago that another show set in the same universe was in development. Orphan Black: Echoes was given the green light for 10 episodes in April and it has now been announced that Krysten Ritter will fill the lead role.

The Jessica Jones star will play Lucy, who has been described as “as a woman with an unimaginable origin story, trying to find her place in the world.” Ritter will also serve as executive producer. 

Orphan Black: Echoes will premiere on AMC and AMC Plus in 2023.

BBC America announced that the cast of Orphan Black is getting back together virtually for a reading of episodes 106 and 107 from the show’s first season in support of International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. 

“Kristian Bruun and I started talking about the idea of doing an OB reunion back when everything had shut down. We wanted to show love to Clone Club and help raise some money for people who are disproportionately affected during this difficult time,” said Tatiana Maslany. “We chose two charities, CenterLink and Sistering Toronto. CenterLink supports over 250 LGBTQ community centers across the world. Our LGBTQ fans have always been deeply important to us. Sistering Toronto helps at-risk, socially isolated women and trans people in Toronto, who are certainly in dire need right now of support, resources, and healthcare. In addition to raising funds, we hope that we can bring some joy to the fans, something intimate just for them, make them feel connected to the Clone Club community even if we’re all far apart.”

The event, reuniting Tatiana Maslany, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Jordan Gavaris, Kristian Bruun, Kevin Hanchard, Dylan Bruce, Evelyne Brochu, Josh Vokey, Michael Mando, Inga Cadranel, Eric Johnson and Natalie Lisinska, will stream live on the series’ official Facebook page on May 17.
