Image cache, Television, , ,

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.
