Video: BBC America Teases Orphan Black Season Four
The clone drama returns in April
The clone club is back in action this spring as Orphan Black enters its fourth season, and now we finally have a meaty teaser to sink our teeth into.
BBC America has released the first teaser video for the new season of the Peabody Award-winning series, which starts in North America this April. Take a look “down the rabbit role” below.
Producers have teased that the new season will turn the focus back to clone sister Beth Childs, who Sarah witnessed commit suicide in the first episode of the series. Says the network:
Award-winning Maslany wowed audiences in season three, playing seven recurring characters including British street-wise chameleon Sarah, suburban drug-dealer and soccer mom Alison, love-struck scientist Cosima, Ukrainian wildcard Helena, disfigured professional Rachel, ghost Beth Childs – the detective who committed suicide at the inception of the series – and the newly introduced Krystal, a ditzy aesthetician trying her best to piece together the puzzle of her life …
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 …
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.
BBC America also revealed that the series will add a new clone named MK, described as a “masked self-aware loner who has lurked unseen in the shadows of the conspiracy from the beginning. This new addition will finally be able to provide answers to the most haunting questions. What new truths will she reveal to the sisterhood and how will it change their lives? But more importantly, is she friend or foe?”
In 2015 Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her multi-role performance.
