The cloned sestras from "Orphan Black" are set to return your television screens this year as BBC America has finally set a premiere date for Season 5 of the show. Interestingly, the final season's first episode will air on a Saturday instead of a Thursday.
Season 5 of the sci-fi series will premiere on June 10, Saturday at 10 pm. What is unclear is whether the rest of the final season's episodes will air on Saturdays all throughout the summer, or they will revert back to the usual Thursdays, which are more prime-time-friendly, according to Christine Persaud of Digital Trends.
"Orphan Black" Season 5 will star Tatiana Maslany in numerous roles as distinct clones. As they search for answers as well as the cure to the disease which is seemingly killing them, they go through problems including evil figures, and a bunch of male counterparts all of which are played by Ari Millen.
Referred to as "Leda Clones," they are a diverse group of clones which include Sarah (a rebel and con artist leader), Beth (a dead cop), Helena (a Russian psychopath), Cosima (a peculiar scientist), and Alison (an uptight housewife) among several others. Aside from Maslany and Millen, other cast members include Jordan Gavaris (Felix Dawkins), Maria Doyle Kennedy (Siobhan Sadler), Skyler Wexler (Kira), Kevin Hanchard (Detective Art Bell), Eveyne Brochu (Delphine Cormier), Kristian Bruun (Donnie Hendrix), and Josh Vokey (Scott).
"Orphan Black" was BBC America's first original scripted series to get the attention of many. Tatiana Maslany won an emmy for her role in the show after fans of the cult hit have been campaigning for her nomination since the start of the series. BBC has confirmed last summer that the fifth season will be the series' final.
"Orphan Black" was created by John Fawcett and Graeme Manson. The show is produced by Temple Street alongside BBC America and Space.
