“Orphan Black” could be coming back in a way fans did not expect, as a new series set in the show’s universe is currently in the works at AMC, TheWrap has learned.
An individual with knowledge of the project tells TheWrap that the show is in the very, very early stages of development at the network with Temple Street Productions, the producer behind the original Tatiana Maslany-led series, attached to produce the new show.
The source added that the followup series would not be considered a spinoff of the original — which was broadcast in the U.S. on AMC’s sister network BBC America — but rather an entirely new show set in the same world as “Orphan Black.”
