Orphan Black is gearing up for the premiere of its fifth and final season. Recently, the stars of the BBC America TV show spoke with The Wrap about ending the award-winning series.
The sci-fi drama centers on Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany), a con-woman who discovers she is one of many clones that have been created by a scientific movement — and are at the center of an assassination plot by a secret religious group. The cast also includes Jordan Gavaris, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Kristian Bruun, Kevin Hanchard, Skyler Wexler, Ari Millen, and Josh Vokey.
In the interview, star Kristian Bruun said the cast isn’t ready to say goodbye and they’re planning a vacation:
We’ve really become a family. I know it’s cheesy to say that but it’s absolutely true. [Maria Doyle Kennedy had] this idea that it’s really going to sink in this fall when we’re not actually going back to the show [so] her idea is to have us all go on vacation. I think it’s a wonderful idea.”
Castmate Jordan Gavaris echoed Bruun’s sentiment, saying the cast already misses Orphan Black:
I think we realized how important we all are to each other and saying goodbye after five years… it’s a lot. It’s heavy. We already miss the show.”
The final season of Orphan Black premieres on BBC America on June 10th at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Orphan Black? Are you sad the show is ending?
I’m so sad that this show is over. I don’t even know what to do with myself now
I just finished watching all 5 seasons on DVD on Jan. 2021. I started it a week ago. It was a very good show, but betrayal was everywhere, and things that the characters should have seen coming a mile away(over and over) got really annoying. Was 50 episodes too short? I was sorry when it ended, but some of it was really stupid. I guess not every episode can be great. Still, I do recommend this show over lots of what is out there now.
Absolutely love this show. The acting has been superb through out all the years. It all begins with the writers and the stories have been very interesting and addictive – couldn’t wait for the next episode to be aired. It will be missed – big time!!!!
Cope with it. Its only a TV show not the loss of a family member.
