Krysten Ritters Orphan Black spin-off series has been canceled by AMC after just one season. Orphan Black: Echoes was expected to draw strong audience numbers based on the success of the original 2013 series starring Tatiana Maslany. However, the 10-episode season drew mixed reviews, and it seems that it didnt perform well enough to be given a second bite of the cherry, according to Deadline.

Orphan Black ran for five seasons between 2013 and 2017. As well as scoring strong viewership, and awards success for Maslany, who finally won an Emmy at the third time of asking in 2016, the series also holds an impressive 93% Tomatometer score and 92% Popcornmeter approval rate on Rotten Tomatoes. Orphan Black: Echoes, however, did not manage to maintain a similar level of praise, only just clinging to a fresh score of 60% from critics and a lowly 47% score from audiences.

The series picks up the story from Orphan Black with a time jump of 37 years.

Fans of Orphan Black may have been expecting to see a special cameo from star Tatiana Maslany in the follow-up series, Orphan Black: Echoes. Ultimately, Maslany did not appear, but her absence was not for a lack of trying.

Per TVLine, Orphan Black: Echoes showrunner Anna Fishko commented on the lack of Maslany cameos in the new series. Fishko confirmed that Maslany was asked to return as a Leda clone in Echoes, and it would have been more substantial than a brief cameo. It was revealed that there were plans to be featured heavily in one episode toward the end of the season, but scheduling conflicts stood in the way of making that happen. If the series gets renewed by AMC, however, Fishko teased that Maslany could still end up coming back in the potential second season.

Spoilers are ahead for Orphan Black: Echoes, episode 5, "Do I Know You?"

Lucy is revealed to be a copy of Kira's wife, Eleanor, adding a heartbreaking twist to their relationship. Episode 5 of Orphan Black: Echoes reveals the story that the series' present narrative hinges on, allowing viewers to understand Kira's unethical choices. In hindsight, Eleanor's Alzheimer's and Kira's efforts to thwart the disease makes Lucy's debut in the pilot episode even more devastating.

The fifth episode of Orphan Black: Echoes reveals a major twist that casts Krysten Ritter's first scene in the show's pilot in a whole new and completely devastating light. Created by Anna Fishko, Orphan Black: Echoes is a spinoff-meets-sequel that's set thirty-seven years after the events of John Fawcett and Graeme Manson's five-season hit Orphan Black. The original series, which stars Emmy-winning actor Tatiana Maslany as Orphan Black's 17 clone characters, delves into the ethical quandaries...

Orphan Black: Echoes picks up 37 years later with new characters Lucy and Jules, though it loosely ties into the original series. Orphan Black: The Next Chapter serves as the definitive sequel in the franchise, focusing on the core clones facing new challenges. While Echoes is a stunning spinoff, The Next Chapter continues the show's legacy, especially since it stars Tatiana Maslany.

As Orphan Black: Echoes season 1 releases weekly on AMC, it's the perfect time to revisit an underrated franchise sequel that debuted three years ago. While Echoes may be the only for-tv Orphan Black sequel, it isn't the only follow-up to the five-season sci-fi thriller about the moral and ethical implications of human cloning. The original show centers on Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany), a troubled young woman who discovers that she's one of many genetically identical human clones. Soon enough, Sarah teams with her clone sisters to take on the...

In an amusingly meta instance of sci-fi imitating sci-fi, “Orphan Black” is getting a futuristic sequel series before anyone has time enough to miss the original. That’s either a big mistake or more of a good thing in a booming genre that could almost always do with more feminist entries.

Set in the year 2052, “Orphan Black: Echoes” stars executive producer Krysten Ritter as an amnesiac woman named Lucy who we meet unraveling the insidious impacts of a mysterious procedure she doesn’t remember having. In a classic streaming age mess-around, the IP extension comes just seven years after the Canadian cult hit became a household name in made-for-tv cloning.

Good news for fans of Orphan Black. A new Orphan Black series is in early development at AMC, Deadline has learned.

Temple St. Productions, which produced the original series, is on board to produce the series, which we hear is not a reboot or spinoff, but will be a new story set in the Orphan Black universe.

Orphan Black, which helped put BBC America on the original scripted series map as its first homegrown hit, aired for five seasons. It starred Emmy winner Tatiana Maslany as multiple clones in the Peabody Award-winning series that all started on a train platform. A troubled woman, Beth Childs (Maslany), locked eyes with an unknown identical woman, Sarah Manning (Maslany), before jumping to her death. From that day on, they were inextricably linked to a clone conspiracy that came to rule Sarah’s life. The cast also included Ari Millen, Jordan Gavaris, Maria Doyle Kennedy,...

Orphan Black's final season begins this Sunday, June 10th. But for fans who can't wait, BBC America has condensed the TV show's fifth and final season into a 60-second teaser.The sci-fi drama centers on Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany), a con-woman who discovers she is one of many clones that have been created by a scientific movement — and are at the center of an assassination plot by a secret religious group. The cast also includes Jordan Gavaris, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Kristian Bruun, Kevin Hanchard, Skyler Wexler, Ari Millen, and Josh Vokey.Read More…...

“Orphan Black” goes into its final season with nothing to prove.

After all, it followed up its rockiest storyline with the Castor clones with an excellent fourth season, it earned universal critical acclaim, and star Tatiana Maslany landed a well-deserved Emmy for her breakout role. That’s not too shabby for a show with a fierce but small viewership. Because of that, the series is free to do exactly what it wants and does so well: let the sestras lead.

With all the clone hijinks and amazing performances by Maslany, it’s sometimes forgotten that “Orphan Black” is one of the most feminist shows on TV, and not just because most of its main characters are female. From the beginning, the show broke down gender stereotypes and featured women in all of the powerful roles, letting them have complex identities independent of their relationship to men.

But first, a little reminder of where we left off. Rachel (Tatiana Maslany) went even crazier than usual (losing an eye and then getting a prosthetic one with visions will do that to you) and attacked Susan (Rosemary Dunmore) and Sarah (Maslany), the latter whom escaped with her life. As a reward, Rachel was all set to meet P.T. Westmorland, the Victorian-era founder of Neolution who is still alive.

A blooper reel from “Orphan Black” Season 4 proves even 2016 Emmy nominee Tatiana Maslany can’t keep her 10+ characters straight sometimes. Nominated two years running, Maslany stars as a set of clones on the BBC America series and has continuously wowed critics and fans alike with her nuanced portrayals of very different women who happen to have the same genetic makeup.

Twelve hours ago Orphan Black co-creator John Fawcett tweeted "The end is near," which many fans took as a sign of the end of Season 4 but today BBC America announced the big news. Orphan Black will return for Season 5 next year which will also be its last. Clone Club is bound to be shocked by the news. The BBC America series launched to rave critical and fan reviews when it began back in 2013. The series stars Tatiana Maslany as a series of clones in what is not only a technical but tremendous acting achievement. Layers have been peeled back each season revealing more clones for Maslany to master as well as depths of conspiracy and betrayal. The series is fantastic at covering both fantastical as well as real-world science, what it means to be family, sexuality, gender, and more. Co-creators Fawcett and Graeme Manson released a shared statement: “We are excited to deliver an epic conclusion to the tale of Sarah and her clone sisters. The past four seasons have been a phenomenal adventure, and we are eternally grateful to our loyal fans who have loved the twists and thrills of our weird little show. We are thankful to our partners at Temple Street, and to BBC America and Space for their support and giving us the opportunity to end on a high.” “When we embarked upon this journey with John and Graeme, we knew we had something special on our hands, but didn’t imagine how deeply it would resonate with audiences and the worldwide acclaim it would receive. We are truly in awe of Tatiana, who, each season, pulls off the impossible and brings each clone and their unique personalities to life in an extraordinarily captivating way,” said David Fortier and Ivan Schneeberg, Executive Producers of Orphan Black and Co-Presidents of Boat Rocker Studios. “We are so proud of the cast and crew, who will be on this final ride with us as we draw the Orphan Black story to a close, and extremely thankful to our partners at BBC America and Space for their continued support, as well as the legions of fans who have made these five seasons possible." Orphan Black received a Peabody Award in 2014, and Maslany received a 2015 Emmy nomination for Best Actress, two Critics’ Choice Awards for Best Actress, a TCA Award for Individual Achievement, a Young Hollywood Award, a Gracie Award, two Canadian Screen Awards and Golden Globe, SAG and People’s Choice nominations. Here's hoping more wise up to her outstanding talent. While Maslany fills out a significant portion of the cast, she's joined by the talented Jordan Gavaris, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Kristian Bruun, Skyler Wexler, Kevin Hanchard, Ari Millen, Evelyne Brochu and Josh Vokey. I'm gutted to hear next season will be the last, but I'm also thankful the show will be able to go out on its own terms and have time to wrap up the story in a satisfying way. And frankly, it also gives fans time to come to terms with the end, something not a lot of fan-favorite shows get the opportunity to do these days. Temple Street will be producing ten episodes for BBC America (and Space in Canada) for Season 5. Season 4's finale airs tonight, Thursday, June 16th at 10/9c.

BBC America announced today that its award-winning sci-fi thriller “Orphan Black” has been renewed for a fifth and final 10-episode season slated to air in 2017. The series follows Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany), a con artist by trade, who witnesses her doppelgänger commit suicide and eventually assumes the identity of her clone. Sarah soon realizes that she has many sister clones spread throughout the world and that someone is plotting to kill them and her. She in turn discovers scientific movements, secret religious groups, and biotech corporations all of whom have a vested interest in Sarah and her daughter Kira (Skyler Wexler) and the desire to control human evolution.

Since it first aired in 2013, the series has been widely acclaimed by critics and the public alike. Tatiana Maslany won a Critics’ Choice Television Award and a Television Critics Association award after the series’ first year, and was later nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2015. The series also won a Peabody Award in 2014.

In an official statement, co-creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson said that they are “excited to deliver an epic conclusion to the tale of Sarah and her clone sisters. The past four seasons have been a phenomenal adventure and we are eternally grateful to our loyal fans who have loved the twists and thrills of our weird little show.”

The fourth season finale will air tonight at 10pm Eastern only on BBC America.

As the world of "Orphan Black" expanded this season to host a cavalcade of new antagonists, including a male set of clones, the focus remained on Tatiana Maslany and the various female clones she portrayed. This decision was certainly to the benefit of the series which otherwise could have gotten tangled up in its own mythology and easily lost sight of what made the show great in the first place. The third season finale, "History Yet to Be Written", keeps Sarah, Helena, Cosima, and Alison front and center and is all the more satisfying for it. Season finales have a difficult tightrope to walk. They need to function as just another episode in the series but they also carry the burden of wrapping up the previous season while simultaneously setting up the next. "Orphan Black" chose to focus much more on the former than the latter and most of the...

If you picked this week to get on board with "Orphan Black", you picked a good one. In what is easily the best episode of the third season, we get huge stakes, big character shifts, dream sequences, answers to a few mysteries, and an explosion to top it all off. Helena (Tatiana Maslany) gets the least to do in the episode but the decision she comes to is an important one. After abandoning Sarah at the Castor camp last week to ensure her own escape, she makes the only choice she really could and comes back for Sarah. Luckily for Sarah, it's not a moment too soon. Sarah is run through the emotional ringer in this episode and experiences two separate, very intense, dream sequences, each offering dramatic insight into what continues to drive her emotionally. We've started to accept it as a given that Sarah is tenacious and will...

Helena is on a murderous mission in a new clip from Orphan Black's final season. But all may not be as it seems...

Next week, we'll be heading into the final season of Orphan Black and it'll be goodbye to all our sestras, including the most unpredictable of them all - curly-haired Helena.

BBC America have released a new clip of the violently happy blonde on a stab-happy rampage during a forthcoming episode, and you can see it below...

We'd advise you to take the unfolding drama with a pinch of salt, however, as series co-creator Graeme Manson has promised a lot more flashbacks in the final season.

"We really enjoyed opening that can of worms last year," he told Entertainment Weekly.

BBC America announced today the renewal of its award-winning original series Orphan Black for a fourth season. The drama starring Tatiana Maslany has been re-commissioned for a 10 episode order from Temple Street Productions and is slated to air in 2016. Hailed as "utterly original and spellbinding" by The Daily Beast and "a multi-layer cake of performance" by The Los Angeles Times, season three is currently airing and will finale on Saturday, June 20 at 9Pm Et. Sarah Barnett, BBC America President and General Manager, had this to say in a statement:

"Orphan Black is an entirely fresh and original show that stands out even in today's crowded TV landscape. Tatiana Maslany's buzzy, virtuoso performance headlines a brilliant cast and we are delighted to let our vocal and passionate fan base know that this wildly entertaining ride will continue next year."

Co-creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson offered their own statement:

Orphan Black, Season 3, Episode 2, “Transitory Sacrifices of Crisis”

Written by Aubrey Nealon

Directed by John Fawcett

Airs Saturdays at 9pm (Et) on BBC America

After the underwhelming season three premiere, “Transitory Sacrifices of Crisis” is encouraging, moving what appears to be the crucial arc for the season, the introduction of Project Castor and the CastorClones, towards more interesting territory. While the two main CastorClones featured this week remain Bad Moustache Clone and Fauxhawk Clone, they’re given names and briefly, motivation. Seth (Bmc) is sick, a short circuit in his brain causing searing pain and Rudy (Fc) is protective of his brother, certain Seth will be put down if they return to base as they’ve been ordered. It’s not much, but this is far more characterization than Ari Millen has been given to work with either last season or in the season three premiere (aside from Creepy Cult Clone,...
