Orphan Black

From a media release:

Space has confirmed that Season 3 of the hit original series ORPHAN BLACK is set to premiere Saturday, April 18 at 9 p.m. ET on Space.

The first look at Season 3 of ORPHAN BLACK is also now available. The image shows Leda Clone Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) meeting face-to-face with Castor Clone Rudy (Ari Millen).

Season 3 of ORPHAN BLACK reveals the clones as more vulnerable than ever before, with the highly trained, identical male-soldier “Castor Clones” complicating matters. And though Sarah, Cosima, Alison, and Helena realize they are stronger together, this season puts that bond to the test. In the Season 3 premiere of ORPHAN BLACK, Saturday, April 18 at 9 p.m. ET on Space, Sarah (Maslany) repels a potentially lethal Topside menace as she fights to locate a disappeared Helena (Maslany); the threat of Castor (Millen) looms anew.

‘Orphan Black’ fans relieved at Tatiana Maslany’s SAG Awards nomination
If there’s one performer out there whose fans have been rabid in their support, it’s Tatiana Maslany. The star of “Orphan Black,” the science fiction series on BBC America, has not gotten a lot of awards show love, despite playing multiple roles. But the tide may finally be turning, thanks to her SAG Awards nomination Wednesday for female actor in a drama series. Continue reading.
