Orphan Black Season 6? Sequel series? The creators and cast of the BBC America clone drama have reflected on the series and confirmed the prospect of a future revival:
Was it also just nice to have a happy ending? That’s something that isn’t quite so common on TV nowadays.
Yes, definitely. My favorite aspect of the finale was the point when Sarah finishes off Neolution and Helena gives birth to the babies and then we kind of go forward in time and see what it means to have that freedom. And how Sarah is kind of stuck and unable to move forward and unable to embrace this thing that she’s fought so hard for. It’s a very human thing to kind of dream about something and then when you’ve got it you don’t know what to do with it. I love that conflict taking us into a happier resolution.
Even though the show is done, Clone Club will inevitably live on… how will that factor into your life?
We’ve had such a good run with Clone Club and it’s been the whole reason people have watched the show, so I don’t know what that’s going to look like in the future. It’s all been so moving… This fan base has been so supportive and fans across the world have been supporting each other and taking care of each other… that’s just the coolest thing.

TVLINE | We learned in the finale that there are 274 total clones. Would you like to explore some of these other clones’ stories in some format?
FAWCETT | If I was going to imagine another season for Orphan Black, following Cosima and Delphine was where I wanted to go. I wanted to go with them and to find these other women. I wanted to see what these other women were like. I wanted to hear these stories that these other women had. That, to me, felt like there was certainly more to imagine there. At the end of this season, you really feel like they’re out on their journey around the world, and that they’ve got this list and the list is life, and they’ve got their inoculations, and they’re world travelers now. I love what that feels like. If I were to pick this up and continue, that’s certainly something I would be interested in.
MANSON | We just need to give these characters a break for a little while. But obviously, there’s tales to be told there, even if they’re told in the comic books or something. I do believe that someday we’ll come back to these characters. We’re still interested in a movie. I’d be interested in returning to this world if Tatiana was in it.

I’m sad to see it end. Really great show. Every episode was interesting, suspenseful, dramatic, funny, happy, sad, reflective, etc. I really think there’s many more stories that could be told. Thanks for the groovy ride!

Love this series. There is nothing else like it on any other channel. It keeps you guessing as to what can turn sideways; or, straight-up. Would love to see another several seasons. Most tv series are boring, compared to this. What’s on tv now, is to numb the masses. This, certainly keeps the mind active, trying to figure out in which direction it’s headed.
