BBC America’s ORPHAN BLACK is nearing its March 30th premiere date very quickly so the network has been dishing out some goods for the series. Today they released a featurette that introduces us to main character of the show, Sarah, and how she develops throughout the series.
Sarah hopes that cleaning out a dead woman’s bank account will solve all her problems. Instead, they multiply at an unnerving rate. Smart, sexy, and pulsating with suspense – BBC America’s new original series “ORPHAN BLACK” features rising star Tatiana Maslany (The Vow, Picture Day). She portrays Sarah, an outsider and orphan whose life changes dramatically after witnessing the suicide of a woman, “Beth,” who looks just like her. Sarah takes her identity, her boyfriend, and her money.
But instead of solving her problems, the street-smart chameleon is thrust headlong into a kaleidoscopic mystery. She makes the dizzying discovery that she and the dead woman are clones… but are they the only ones? Sarah quickly finds herself caught in the middle of a deadly conspiracy, racing to find answers.
CUBE scribe Graeme Manson has penned the series as he teams up with GINGER SNAPS director John Fawcett which looks to take you on a suspenseful ride. The show will premiere on Saturday, March 30th at 9:00pm ET/PT, as part of BBC American’s Supernatural Saturday.
