“Orphan Black” may have ended in 2017, but its new spin-off “Orphan Black: Echoes” picks things up over three decades later in the year 2052 — and that’s not the only major difference between the sci-fi sister series.
Ahead of Sunday’s premiere, executive producer and star Krysten Ritter told TheWrap all about how the “Echoes” team wove the original “Orphan Black” into their show’s DNA while intentionally trying not to make an exact clone… er, printout of the beloved flagship.
“It’s so hard to launch shows; there’s so many shows, there’s so many platforms. So I thought business-savvy-wise, it’s very smart to have a built-in fanbase and a spin-off of such a successful world that was so loved,” she said.
