Orphan Black: Echoes: Krysten Ritter Unearths a Dangerous New (Clone?) Conspiracy — Watch New Trailer, Get Premiere Date

Big news, Clone Club: The full trailer for Orphan Black: Echoes is finally here!

The spinoff (which hits AMC, AMC+ and BBC America Sunday, June 23) is set in the near future and takes place in the Orphan Black universe. It will “take a deep dive into the exploration of the scientific manipulation of human existence,” according to its official description, as it “follows a group of women as they weave their way into each other’s lives and embark on a thrilling journey, unravelling the mystery of their identity and uncovering a wrenching story of love and betrayal. Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) plays Lucy, a woman with an unimaginable origin story, trying to find her place in the world.”

In the new trailer (watch it embedded above), Lucy is on the run from a group of very dangerous people all while trying to figure out her true identity. Kira (Sarah’s daughter), now a doctor and scientist, factors into the new story somehow and if you pause at 1:23, you can see photos of Mrs. S, Felix and Tatiana Maslany’s Cosima and Sarah. The clip also features gunfire, explosions and a brand-new conspiracy for us to sink out teeth into. But what does it all have to do with clones?

Additional cast members include Keeley Hawes (It’s A Sin), Amanda Fix (High School), Avan Jogia (Now Apocalypse), Rya Kihlstedt (A Teacher) and James Hiroyuki Liao (Barry).

Series creator Anna Fishko serves as showrunner, executive-producing alongside Ritter, David Fortier, Ivan Schneeberg, Nick Nantell, Kerry Appleyard, Katie O’Connell Marsh and original Orphan Black creator John Fawcett.

The original Orphan Black, which aired for five seasons (2013–2017) starred Maslany in multiple roles. She won an Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series in 2016, and received two additional nominations throughout the show’s run. She and her co-stars reprised their roles for a 2019 audio series titled Orphan Black: The Next Chapter.
