The third season of clone series "Orphan Black" will be back on air in spring and the production is set to begin in September.
BBC America finally confirmed that everyone's favorite TV series will be back for its third season and it will have 10 episodes. After the final episode of season 2, show creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson seemed super confident that they would be getting a third season. But it is better to have a confirmation from the network that runs it.
The renewal of the series is due to the success that the series garnered during the run of the first and second seasons. Tatiana Maslany, who played a dozen characters because of the clones, swept a Golden Globe nomination and honors from the Critics Choice TV Awards, TCA Awards and Canadian Screen Awards.
Moreover, the ratings of the show as well as the DVR numbers were high enough to get it renewed for another season.
Meanwhile, season 2 ended showing Helena being dragged in military custody with Sarah unaware of what happened. However, fans were certain that Sarah will help her clone and will do everything that she can to save her. There are speculations that Sarah will enlist the help of Mark, who was revealed as a clone, to rescue Sarah.
Executive producers John Fawcett and Graeme Manson confirmed that the military has its own male cloning project named Project Castor. Fans were surprised that the final episode showed that Mark is one of the male clones.
"What's interesting about this is that Ari Millen is a really talented guy and he's someone that we had brought in as this new Prolethean character, and we had planned to kill him in episode 6. After he did some significantly great work for us in the early get-going of the season we started to focus our eyes on him as very strong potential for our male clone, and that's kind of how that happened," Fawcett told Entertainment Weekly.
