After a monumental and award-winning run, Orphan Black is set to head back to television in the very near future. Orphan Black: Echoes, a new spinoff of the hit drama, will be premiering on AMC at some point in 2023, and there’s definitely a lot of curiosity from Clone Club about what is in store. In a new article on Broadcast Now, Boat Rocker Studios president of kids and family Jon Rutherford teased what fans can expect from Echoes, and also revealed that it is “100% our goal” to create even more spinoff series.

“We see this as a first instalment in the new universe and AMC shares our vision,” Rutherford explained. “It has a lot of experience in this area with franchises like The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.“
“There has always been strong interest in going back into the Orphan Black universe on both sides [AMC and Boat Rocker], but it was about finding the right creative dynamic to take the franchise forward,” Rutherford said elsewhere in the interview. “There are several different paths it could have gone down, but Anna’s solution is the perfect starting point to continue the story.”
