No female clone died in the "Orphan Black" season 3 finale.
Although one key character presumably died and the male clones almost wiped out, the show still refuses to say goodbye to one of its main female clones (all played by Tatiana Maslany) who all have their own solid fan base. Sarah, Cosima, Alison, Helena, and even Rachel, all endeared to their fans for their unique personalities.
"Orphan Black" season 3 finale did not see any of the sestrahs say goodbye but come fourth season, looks like they will welcome a new member.
Krystal, the manicurist who thinks bad things always happen to her, played a big role in third season's penultimate episode. She was used by Neolutionist and dressed to look like pro-clone Rachel to trick Sarah's camp. Up to now, Krystal is still clueless about what's going on but in the fourth season, there is a possibility she will be dragged deeper in the mess her sisters are involved with.
Co-creator John Fawcett sat down with Variety shortly after the "Orphan Black" season 3 finale and there, he confirmed that Krystal will return next season.
"Yeah, we really like Krystal and Krystal's a character that we've obviously been talking a lot about, so she's definitely someone that we like<," Fawcett said when asked about the new female clone's return in "Orphan Black" season 4 which will debut next year.
In separate interview with Entertainment Weekly, Fawcett also said they already have plans for Krystal. Read it here.
Some episodes leading to the "Orphan Black" season 3 finale may be light and fun but in the fourth season, fans should save their laughter and giggles as Fawcett revealed season4 will be much like the first.
"I want from season four a vibe of season one again," Fawcett said when asked to share their plans for season four.
"I want a lot of that paranoia back, and Sarah following a first-person mystery, and a feeling of not knowing where we stand again, and having the audience not know where we stand. When Graeme and I talked about it, it was like, "how do we give it a feeling of conclusion after three seasons and now push towards our bigger mystery?" We just wanted a reset after season three and a big emotional ending."
