Krysten Ritter has fallen down an all new rabbit hole in the first look at the AMC Networks’ anticipated spinoff, Orphan Black: Echoes.

The network released the minute-and-a-half trailer on Thursday during its panel for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and sees a disoriented Lucy (portrayed by Ritter) waking up to an unrecognizable near future. The original series is set in the same clone-filled universe as its critically acclaimed and fan-loved BBC America predecessor, Orphan Black, which starred Tatiana Maslany.

“What’s wrong with me?” Ritter’s Lucy can be seen asking. ”Why don’t I know who I am?”

The series is set to explore the scientific manipulation of human existence and will follow a group of women as they weave their way into each other’s lives while embarking on a journey that will both unravel the mystery of their identity and uncover a story of love and betrayal.

During the panel, it was also revealed that Rya Kihlstedt (A Teacher, One Mississippi) and James Hiroyuki Liao (Barry, The Dropout) have joined the cast as series regulars, with Reed Diamond (Better Call Saul, Mosquito Coast) set to will recur in season one as a guest star.

The series will air on AMC, AMC+ and BBC America and is expected to release sometime in 2024.

Since there's no thread for Echoes, I'll just post here.... show was cancelled by AMC

I just watched it over the weekend, it was fine but setting it in the Orphan Black universe hindered it. It had the built in comparison and it just wasn't anywhere near as good as the superior parent show.

Ended on a cliffhanger too, making the whole thing extra pointless.

I just finished season 2 of the ORIGINAL show last week.
I thought season 1 was pretty great brainless entertainment. But season 2 was kind of a slog, and I vowed to stop watching if 1) I feel like I'm not enjoying it as much as I should, and if 2)

[Show spoiler]they start introducing clones of OTHER people

, because I feel that is when things can get really silly and stupid.
Kind of like when there is a character that has regenerative healing, and then that blood is used to bring ANYONE back to life/the show, and/or heal anyone that has fatal injuries... it becomes a tool used to make problems easier to solve with a lazy or incompetent writing team.

So... if I felt this way I feel by the end of season 2, would people recommend I still give it a chance and continue watching?

Tatiana Maslany was amazing in Orphan Black and she played various characters which actually felt different so she showed she's not a one-note actress.

Not sure how this remake will compare to it. I'll still give it a chance.

I watched a few eps of this, but just couldn't do anymore. I enjoyed the original series, but not this one. And I'm a Krysten Ritter fan!

I enjoyed the show from beginning to end, but the first two seasons are by far the best and it does decline from season three onward.

Alright, I appreciate the reply. I will temper my expectations, and go along for the ride if I decide to continue watching. (I probably will.)
