Promo for Orphan Black: Echoes
Click to viewThe Orphan Black spinoff starring Krysten Ritter is set in 2052 and was originally scheduled to premiere in March 2023 but was pushed back to 2024. Other cast members include Keeley Hawes, Amanda Fix, James Hiroyuki Liao, Avan Jogia, and Zariella Langford. Anna Fishko serves as the showrunner and executive producer.
John Fawcett, who co-created the original show, is also an executive producer on the new show. He said: "It was a project that was going to happen with or without me. Either I contribute and be a part of it or I let it go. There were some ideas for what the spin-off was going to be that I thought were really cool. And I thought, why not? The spin-off is a very different show. If you go with the expectation that you're going to see Orphan Black, you're going to probably be disappointed. It's got its own feel, it's got its own identity. What makes it Orphan Black, there's a bit of a slow burn to it."
