‘Orphan Black: Echoes’ – Krysten Ritter Joins the Clone Club in First Trailer
Orphan Black: Echoes offers a “completely unique copy of the original” series starring Krysten Ritter and Keeley Hawes.
Orphan Black, the groundbreaking sci-fi series starring Tatiana Maslany in multiple roles, won a Peabody for its storytelling and examination of bioethics. The entire series is available on AMC+ right now—it’s fantastic, and Maslany puts in a tour de force performance.
It starts on a train platform when Beth Childs locks eyes with Sarah Manning, a woman who looks identical to her before she jumps in front of a train to her death. From that point on, the two are inextricably linked to a clone conspiracy. Unraveling the mystery leads to new enemies, new allies, new clones, and always new questions. How many clones are out there? Who created them? Who is trying to kill them?
