Orphan Black Echoes: Krysten Ritter In The Sequel To Orphan Black: Goodbye To The Return Of Jessica Jones?

AMC has announced that the sequel to the beloved Canadian series Orphan Black Echoes is coming! Along with the announcement of the green light for production, the network has unveiled the title of the new series, Orphan Black Echoes. The sequel will hit our screens next year and fans can breathe a sigh of relief as original series co-creator John Fawcett is on board. The first season of Echoes consisting of ten episodes – will continue to delve into how scientific experimentation affects human existence. The sequel will also follow a group of women who come together to uncover the mysteries of their identities.

Orphan Black returns and does so with a new protagonist. The sci-fi series will have a sequel with actress Krysten Ritter in the role of the main character. In principle this is great news, just revealed by Variety. Orphan Black is one of the most innovative and immersive sci-fi series of the last few decades and it’s nice to know that AMC has decided to bring it back to life with a new protagonist. In fact, in the original episodes to interpret the many clones of the protagonist was Tatiana Maslany, who we will soon see as the protagonist of She-Hulk. Krysten Ritter has been missing for a while with a starring role on TV since she played Jessica Jones, the Marvel superhero.

Orphan Black Echoes: Krysten Ritter In The Sequel To Orphan Black

That character and that series ended up on Netflix: at the time Marvel did not yet have a platform like Disney + available to launch its series and collaborated with other companies. Furthermore, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was not yet so codified, so only recently the status of Jessica Jones, Daredevil and the other series dedicated to the Defenders has been made official as belonging to the Marvel continuity. In recent weeks, some mysterious changes to Jessica Jones’s title have fueled hopes of seeing Ritter’s return to the role, perhaps with a dedicated series or film.

With a long series dedicated to Daredevil in preparation and that fleeting superhero cameo in the She-Hulk trailer, many were hoping to see Jessica Jones in the miniseries as well and find her a stable role in the Marvel world soon. This new commitment, however, could undermine the hopes of fans. An important commitment is expected: Krysten Ritter will be the absolute protagonist (and producer) of the 10 episodes of Orphan Black: Echoes, arriving in 2023. The actress will play Lucy, a woman with an “incredible origin story”, who tries to find her place in the world.

Ritter owes his popularity to work on various TV series, which demonstrate both comedic and dramatic prowess. Among the most appreciated proofs of him is the one in Breaking Bad in the role of El Margolis (resumed in El Camino) and that of comic taste in the role of the terrible protagonist of Do not trust the bitch of the interior 23.

The first cast member to be made official is the protagonist, actress Krysten Ritter, known for her role as Jessica Jones in the Marvel Universe. Orphan Black ran for five seasons and enjoyed the unforgettable acting performances of Emmy winner Tatiana Maslany, who played a myriad of clones that have populated the history of all seasons of the series. Orphan Black: Echoes is created, written and produced by Anna Fishko, also the showrunner. Fishko has extensive experience in the world of TV series, having written episodes of Pieces of Her and Fear the Walking Dead.
