Check out the trailer for Orphan Black: Echoes, an upcoming sci-fi thriller drama series set in the original universe of the Orphan Black series. Orphan Black: Echoes stars Krysten Ritter (Marvel?s Jessica Jones, Love and Death). The series also stars Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard, It?s A Sin, Line of Duty), Amanda Fix (North of Normal, High School), Avan Jogia (Now Apocalypse, Zombieland: Double Tap), Rya Kihlstedt (A Teacher, One Mississippi) and James Hiroyuki Liao (Barry, The Dropout).

Set in the near future, Orphan Black: Echoes takes a deep dive into the exploration of the scientific manipulation of human existence. It follows a group of women as they weave their way into each other's lives and embark on a thrilling journey, unraveling the mystery of their identity and uncovering a wrenching story of love and betrayal. Ritter plays Lucy, a woman with an unimaginable origin story, trying to find her place in the world.

Anna Fishko (Pieces of Her, The Society, Fear the Walking Dead) is creator, writer, showrunner and executive producer of Orphan Black: Echoes with John Fawcett, the co-creator of the original series who also directed 17 episodes across all five seasons, serving as director and executive producer. David Fortier and Ivan Schneeberg, executive producers from Boat Rocker on the original Orphan Black series, return as executive producers on the new series. Boat Rocker?s Nick Nantell also executive produces, in addition to Katie O?Connell Marsh and Kerry Appleyard.

Orphan Black: Echoes will premiere on Sunday, June 23 at 10pm ET/PT on AMC and BBC AMERICA; available to stream on AMC+. New episodes will air weekly on Sundays at 10pm ET/PT.

I've only seen the first season of Orphan Black, which I enjoyed and somehow didn't continue watching, and this has made me very interested to go and watch seasons 2-6 on ITV X
