Jessica Jones and Breaking Bad star Krysten Ritter is both executive-producing and taking on the lead role in Orphan Black: Echoes, a spinoff of the Tatiana Maslany-led Candian sci-fi thriller series.
The flagship series stars Maslany as a British con artist who discovers that she's a clone and that she and her "sister" clones, who were created as part of an illegal human cloning experiment, are being hunted down. The offshoot series takes place in the not-so-distant future and ventures into the scientific manipulation of human existence. Ritter's Lucy will lead a group of women who become tangled in each other's lives and embark on a thrilling journey, one that unravels the mystery of their identity. There's no word yet if Ritter will follow in Maslany's footsteps and play several different versions of her character.
Anna Fishko (producer of Tyrant and Fear the Walking Dead) is the creator, head writer, showrunner, and executive producer of Orphan Black: Echoes, alongside Jon Fawcett, co-creator of Orphan Black, who will serve as director and executive producer.
