When "Orphan Black" season 4 comes, fans will sense a familiar feeling. This is because the new season of the series is being planned to reflect that of the first season. The finale of the third season helped to set that up with a fair share of cliffhangers and closures.
"There are some cliffhangers and we've left some things up in the air, but what this allows us to do in season 4 is it allows us to breathe and reset ourselves a little bit," show co-creator John Fawcett told Entertainment Weekly.
He then acknowledged how the season 3 finale was fashioned to feel like a proper ending to everything.
Fawcett said, "And even though we're kind of at the end of the season looking into a new rabbit hole, you get a big feeling of finality, in a way."
Tatiana Maslany, who plays multiple characters in the show, loves the idea of going back to season 1. The actress revealed to TV Line that the first season is what made her "[fall] in love with the show." She went on to praise the pilot episode and explained that she will totally love to do something like it again.
Furthermore, fans can expect more characters to join the slew of clones played by Maslany in season 4. BBC America president Sarah Barnett recently told Slash Film that the writers are back to work and are thinking of ways to blow fans away with a new character.
"Trying to get back to the essence of real, big character surprise in season four," she revealed. "I just want to continue helping and nurturing Graeme [Manson] and John [Fawcett] to do what they've done so well in the first three seasons."
She then reiterated that the new season will also have lots of plot surprises and promised that there won't be any "crazy exposition."
"Orphan Black" season 4 airs next year.
