Sci-Fi Orphan Black

It's shot on location in Toronto and surrounding areas. Cosima lives in Minneapolis.

Is this being aired in the UK? I know it's a BBC production, but it seems to be an American/Candian first type of deal.

And is it popular over there?

It is a BBC America/Bell Media (Canadian company) production.

It aired on one of the BBCs this past fall. I think its on the same level here as it is there, so under the radar.

But it looks like it's gaining some traction and popularity.

Being a vocal Orphan Black lover is about to pay off for Patrick J. Adams.

The Suits star has nabbed a guest spot on Season 2 of BBC America’s cult thriller, our sister site Deadline reports.

Adams will play Jesse, a brave but regular guy who lands in a ton of trouble when Tatiana Maslany’s multiple clone characters come into his life.

The actor, who called the casting a dream come true, has made his passion for the sci-fi series abundantly apparent via Twitter, even campaigning for a guest role. This summer, Adams raved about Maslany’s performance and then lamented her lack of an Emmy nomination.

Patrick J Adams ✔ @halfadams
#OrphanBlack is a masterclass in all things television. I’m a better actor after watching Tatiana work. #seriouslyletmegueststar

Patrick J Adams ✔ @halfadams
Tatiana Maslany not getting nominated for an Emmy is like breathing not being nominated for important thing to do.

Other Season 2 additions include Michiel Huisman (Nashville), Peter Outerbridge (Nikita) and Ari Millen (Rookie Blue, Nikita).

Orphan Black returns April 19.

Tatiana got a Golden Globe nomination!

 

[antsman41]

She deserves like 5.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Haha. I do enjoy her performances.

Just finished this show and it is awesome! Can't wait for season two!

 

[Specter313]

Welcome to the Clone Club!

 

[SuperT]

I just can't believe how awesome she is at playing each of the clones. It's funny to say which clone is your favorite when it's just the same actress playing each role.

Either way, she's awesome. Glad she was nominated for a Golden Globe because she deserves it.

 

[flickchick85]

I just spent the day tearing through this whole season. What an awesome show!

Tatiana Maslany deserves every bit of acclaim she's gotten thus far and frankly, she deserves a lot more, imo.

SO glad this got picked up for a 2nd season because what a terrible ending that would have been if it hadn't, lol.

 

[Primal Slayer]

So glad that so many people have seen the light since I first opened this thread. Can't wait for Season 2.

Honestly, I started watching today because I was bummed about tonight being the series finale of Nikita (which I still haven't been able to bring myself to watch yet), and I was just thinking, "what show could possibly fill the Nikita-shaped hole in my heart when it's over?" And well, this show turned out to be the perfect fit. I mean, I'd been meaning to watch this for a while since I'd heard so many great things, but this just seemed like the exact right moment for me to finally check it out, and man, am I glad it lived up to the hype.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Glad you're glad. And the Nikita finale will not disappoint.

 

[flickchick85]

And the Nikita finale will not disappoint.

Good to hear. t:

 

[DrCosmic]

Looking forward to this. Orphan Black pretty much rocks all the socks in my drawer. That's a hard working chick right there.

 

[Harry_Lime02]

I joined Clone Club over the Christmas period too. This show is so good! I'm a big fan of Allison especially.

Ha, Allison is my favorite too. She started out as my least favorite but her storylines just ended up being too entertaining. The potluck episode is probably my favorite of the season.

Orphan Black - Season 2 - Michelle Forbes gets recurring role

 

[flickchick85]

Awesome news, and an intriguing new character from the sound of it. Since they cast Forbes, I'm expecting this person to be a pretty major presence.

 

[Specter313]

LOVE her. She was the best part of season 2 of True Blood. And she's always given off a major presence in everything I've seen her in. And the fact that she's a part of the shady corporation behind all this gives me high hopes.
