‘Orphan Black’ season 2 teaser gets sciencey

It’s another Orphan Black tantalizing teaser! There’s blood and test tubes and DNA strands galore!

“I’m part of a sisterhood like no other. A piece of a puzzle I can barely comprehend. My life is someone else’s experiment,” says star Tatiana Maslany. “My name is Alison Hendrix, is Cosima Niehaus, is Rachel Duncan, Sarah Manning–and I’m one of a kind.”

Boom. Orphan Black returns for its highly anticipated second season April 19 on BBC America.

First look: ‘Orphan Black’ season 2

Orphan Black returns April 19 on BBC America, and here’s your first look at the upcoming second season. Tatiana Maslany takes on Tatiana Maslany (what else is new?) in the shoes of series protagonist Sarah Manning and pro-clone Neolutionist Rachel Duncan. Seems like we’ll be picking up right where we left off.

In an interview with EW, creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson spill on season 2. “No one is just who they seem on Orphan Black. That’s the most important thing. Maybe things get set up as kind of a cliché or as one thing, but we’re always trying to bend it and find the layers to keep it fresh and original,” says Manson. “Even as a villain, Rachel is going to hold a lot of surprises for us. She’s been a really fun nemesis for Sarah,” adds Fawcett.

In addition to watching Sarah take on Rachel, season 2 will also explore Cosima’s mysterious illness. “It’s a genetic mystery. It’s a genetic biological mystery and it feeds into some of our body horror and it feeds into our science mystery,” says Manson.

BBC America hires the cutest kids to narrate “Planet Earth”

BBC America has whipped up a promo for their series “Planet Earth” starring the cutest 4 to 7 year old kids auditioning for the role of narrator. Who needs regular series narrator David Attenborough when you’ve got this! I can’t figure out what’s more hysterical: the kids trying to pronounce Attenborough’s name or that 6 year old girl trying her darndest to apply headphones to her ears.
