Orphan Black has cloned itself another season.

BBC America has renewed the critically hailed sci-fi series led by Tatiana Maslany for a third season, greenlighting 10 more episodes for a spring 2015 premiere. Production on the new season kicks off in Toronto in September.

The one-hour clone drama has become a crucial benchmark for the cable network as it expands its foothold in original scripted programming beyond British staple Doctor Who. Orphan Black has attracted more that its share of accolades since its March 2013 launch, earning Maslany — who plays nearly a dozen characters — a Golden Globe nomination and honors from the Critics' Choice TV Awards, TCA Awards and Canadian Screen Awards. This year, Orphan Black added a Peabody Award to its trophy case.

I don’t care. She is capable of sleeping with a stranger, then she is not a character I would give a crap about.

The new TNT show "The last ship" has a lesbian character but its not central to the plot. She mentioned it and the show moved on. I'm fine with that. The Walking dead also has a lesbian character but its not central to the show. I think it's come up in passing on 1 episodes.

AMC's "Turn" has a gay character but its treated as it would be in 1776. (He was turned into a British spy to "hide his shame". Even in this case its forgettable that he's gay.

Talked About Scene: Episode 102: TURN: Who by Fire

One of the best shows on TV by the way. Very historically based and very pro American.

This is good news. I’ve watched it from the beginning and have especially enjoyed the acting talents of Tatiana Maslany.

I caught it.

She was wearing men’s briefs by the way.

Repulsive characters. Heck, I’d off the star myself (that is, the “on screen” star). She is a POS.

Not your typical BBC work.

D-.

Tatiana is remarkable indeed! I’m constantly marveling at her subtleties. Now the trani-clone was another story. Kinda weak. I do like the gay dude. AFAIK, the actor is straight and Canadian, and he very believable.
