The long-awaited spin-off sequel to Orphan Black is finally here. Whether you're a member of the Clone Club or new to the franchise, we'll show you where to watch Orphan Black: Echoes. New episodes are trickling out in the US, but in other parts of the world, like the UK and New Zealand, the whole season is available right now for free.
Orphan Black burst onto the scene in 2013 as a joint project between Space (the CTV Sci-Fi channel) and BBC America. The series was a unique, modern exploration of cloning helmed by Tatiana Maslany that developed a devoted fan base in its five seasons on air. The show followed a group of clones (all played by Maslany, who won a much-deserved Emmy for her work in 2016) who attempt to discover their genesis after finding each other as adults, almost all of them growing up unaware that they were clones. The series is both a goofy sci-fi romp and an exploration into the ethics of genetic manipulation.
Orphan Black: Echoes takes place in 2052, several decades after the original series, and follows a woman (Krysten Ritter) who wakes up from a procedure with no idea who she is. The series is directly linked to the original, even utilizing some of the same characters, and again grapples with concepts of human cloning (or "printing") and identity. Keeley Hawes co-stars alongside Ritter.
