After developing a cult following across its run on BBC America, the world of Orphan Black is headed back to television, with a new series dubbed Orphan Black: Echoes. The show, which was officially ordered to series earlier this year, recently got a major update in the form of casting Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter, who will star in and executive produce the upcoming series. There have definitely been a lot of questions surrounding how Echoes will tie into Orphan Black — and according to executive producer and director John Fawcett, it will manifest in some fun ways very soon. As Fawcett revealed in a recent interview with Elle, Echoes will start filming next week, on August 22nd, and will have a very specific relationship to the original series. While he could not confirm or deny if any of Tatiana Maslany’s Leda clones from the original series would appear, he teased that fans can expect plenty “Easter eggs” and “some big spoilers that I would never share.”
