Orphan Black: Echoes
Calling all members of the Clone Club! AMC has unveiled a gripping new trailer for the highly-anticipated “Orphan Black” spinoff series “Echoes”, and confirmed the premiere date is locked in for June 23rd. Fans of the acclaimed original sci-fi thriller won’t want to miss this clone-filled continuation.
“Orphan Black: Echoes” Trailer Teases Cloning Conspiracy
The intense new trailer for “Orphan Black: Echoes” sets the stage for another mysterious saga surrounding human cloning experiments. We’re introduced to Lucy (Krysten Ritter of “Jessica Jones” fame), a woman who awakens disoriented from a strange medical procedure with no memory of her identity.
As Lucy begins piecing together clues about her past, she makes the shocking realization that she may have been part of an unethical cloning program, much like the characters from the original “Orphan Black” series. Suspenseful moments and sinister imagery fill the preview, hinting at a vast conspiracy that Lucy must urgently unravel.
Can “Echoes” Live Up to the Beloved “Orphan Black” Legacy?
For five gripping seasons from 2013 to 2017, “Orphan Black” mesmerized viewers with its mind-bending clone storylines and Tatiana Maslany’s tour-de-force performances as multiple distinct characters. The show was a critical smash, earning Maslany an Emmy and over 140 award nominations during its run.
While “Orphan Black: Echoes” follows a new protagonist played by Ritter, it has massive shoes to fill in capturing the same magic as the original cult favorite. Early reviews from its Australian premiere have been positive if somewhat mixed compared to the soaring acclaim of Maslany’s show.
Still, the talented Ritter seems perfectly cast to take on an emotionally complex cloning-themed role. And the creative team behind “Echoes” clearly understands what made “Orphan Black” so special, promising fans anotherتhrilling, twist-filled dive into the ethics and dangers of unchecked genetic engineering.
With an intriguing lead performance, suspenseful mysteries, and high-concept sci-fi premises, all the pieces are in place for “Orphan Black: Echoes” to be a worthy successor series. Viewers can decide for themselves when it premieres on AMC, AMC+, and BBC America on June 23rd.

While replicating the original’s runaway success won’t be easy, the new series’ talented cast and creators have studied what resonated so strongly with fans.
By blending thought-provoking science fiction, visceral conspiracies, and relatable human characters, “Orphan Black: Echoes” looks primed to keep the dream of the Clone Club alive and well. Don’t miss Krysten Ritter’s Lucy start to peel back the layers of her shadowy existence when the new saga kicks off June 23rd.
