BBC AMERICA’S HIT ORIGINAL SERIES ORPHAN BLACK BEGINS PRODUCTION ON SEASON FOUR
Emmy Nominated Star Tatiana Maslany Returns to her Breakout Role
BBC AMERICA announced today that production has begun on season four of the Peabody Award-winning series, Orphan Black. Tatiana Maslany (Two Lovers and a Bear, Woman in Gold) returns to her Emmy nominated role as multiple clones in the critically-acclaimed pulsating thriller. Throughout three seasons, Maslany has played 13 clones that have helped earn her first Emmy and SAG nominations, two Critics’ Choice awards and a Golden Globe nomination.
Season four of the drama will see leader-of-the-pack, Sarah, reluctantly return home from her Icelandic hideout to track down an elusive and mysterious ally tied to the clone who started it all – Beth Childs. Sarah will follow Beth’s footsteps into a dangerous relationship with a potent new enemy, heading in a horrifying new direction. Under constant pressure to protect the sisterhood and keep everyone safe, Sarah’s old habits begin to resurface. As the close-knit sisters are pulled in disparate directions, Sarah finds herself estranged from the loving relationships that changed her for the better.
“Orphan Black has touched a remarkable chord with fans the world over and continues to delve into provocative subject matter with a sure and entertaining touch,” says Sarah Barnett, President and General Manager, BBC AMERICA. “Tatiana’s performance is quite frankly phenomenal, proving quite convincingly, there is nothing else like Orphan Black on television, and no one like Tatiana Maslany.”
Returning this season is Jordan Gavaris as Sarah’s battle worn foster brother Felix, Maria Doyle Kennedy as Sarah and Felix’s foster mother Mrs. S, Kristian Bruun as Donnie, Alison’s partner-in-crime and husband, Kevin Hanchard as Art, Beth’s detective partner who’s torn between his job and his loyalty to the clones, Skyler Wexler as Sarah’s long-suffering daughter Kira, Ari Millen as a mysterious new Castor clone, the likes of which we’ve never seen before and Josh Vokey as Scott, Cosima’s lab partner. Also returning this season is James Frain as Ferdinand, an intimidating “cleaner” for shadowy organization, Topside, Allison Steadman as Kendall Malone, “the original” and Rosemary Dunsmore as Susan Duncan, Rachel’s adoptive mother and one of the leading scientists of Project Leda. Joining the Orphan Black cast this season is Joel Thomas Hynes as Dizzy, an edgy, self-reliant hacker who doesn’t conform to group mentality. Additional casting for the series will be announced in the coming weeks.
The first three seasons of Orphan Black are currently available on Blu-ray and DVD and via digital download. The first two seasons are available for live streaming through Amazon Prime. For more information on where to catch up on Orphan Black, visit www.bbcamerica.com/orphanblack.
