"Orphan Black" season 3 premiere episode will air this Sunday, April 18, with the introduction of set of clones from Castor as one of the main plots. Tatiana Maslany's LEDA clones will face new and more dangerous threats after it was revealed at the end of the second season that there exists male clones from Castor, LEDA's rivals. These clones are meant to become the core of a super army and on the side, erase their female counterparts.
The female clones are in danger and in the "Orphan Black" season 3 premiere episode, their bond will be tested by the male ones who Ari Millen described as like brothers in terms of closeness and instinct to protect each other. Millen's characters, who so far only four have names, are close and well trained while Sarah Manning, Helena, Cosima, and Allison started from the bottom and are just starting to learn to like each other. The seestrahs are in danger so that begs the question, will one of them die? The BBC TV series' co-creator Graeme Manson speaks.
The "Orphan Black" season 3 premiere episode is yet to be seen by the public but as early as now, show's writers already know the end game for several major characters. Manson did not clarify though whether one of the first clones will die in the second season.
"We know our endpoint," Manson said in an interview with Forbes ahead of the "Orphan Black" season 3 premiere episode.
"The question becomes: how long do you stretch out the middle before it becomes too fat, if you know what I mean, before it feels like the series has gotten flabby in the middle? We don't want that to happen. So we do have an endpoint. But we're also beginning to think about, "OK. If we drop our endpoint, how does it spin forward? How do you reboot in a super interesting fashion?"
"Orphan Black" season 3 premiere episode will air on BBC America, SundanceTV, WE TV, IFC , and AMC.
