Official Orphan Black Season 3 Trailer - BBC America

BBC America’s Orphan Black continues to be be one of television’s most under-the-radar gems with its fascinating, sci-fi premise and a leading lady who should’ve been in the Primetime Emmy Award conversation since the show’s very first season. The series was renewed for a third season last year, and the first trailer for the new season — which kicks off April 18 — has now found its way online.

The next arc (spoiler alert) sees the return of the female clones played by Tatiana Maslany as they continue to search for the truth about their origins and the shadowy organization that’s been monitoring them, as well as dealing with the discovery that they’re not the only clones out there.

The series and its star, which have shared a long list of awards and nominations over the course of two critically acclaimed seasons, also welcome some new supporting cast members for the third season. Among the newcomers are Justin Chatwin (Shameless), James Frain (True Blood), and Ksenia Solo (Black Swan).

Orphan Black co-creators Graeme Manson and John Fawcett will also return this season in their roles as series writer and director, respectively.

Like Netflix’s new sci-fi movie The Kitchen? Then watch these three great shows

Izi and Benji run together in The Kitchen.

The sci-fi genre covers a wide range of stories set in various strange worlds. Some science fiction is set in a far-flung future or in a distant galaxy, while other sci-fi stories occupy worlds that feel much more obviously like our own. There disparate settings can offer some insights into the world we actually live in and can be the basis for truly fascinating stories.

Netflix's The Kitchen, which is set in a future world where all public housing has been eliminated, definitely exists in a pretty grounded version of reality. Like all of the best sci-fi movies on Netflix, though, it also has plenty to say about how we live today. If you've watched and enjoyed the movie, these are three sci-fi shows that may scratch that same itch.

Humanity faces the Fall of Reach in new Halo season 2 trailer

Master Chief's reflection appears in his helmet in a scene from Halo season 2.

One of the most common complaints about the first season of Paramount+'s Halo is that it didn't feel enough like the hit video game series that spawned a franchise. Thankfully, the new trailer for Halo season 2 seems to be addressing that by filling the screen with epic sci-fi combat that even extends into space. It also appears that the show has reached a pivotal moment in the history of the Halo universe: The Fall of Reach. Within the games and the show, Reach is the name of a human colony in the 26th century, and its devastation was one of humanity's darkest hours. That's why Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 (Pablo Schreiber) is going to light the way for mankind's survival.

Marvel’s What If…? season 2 trailer teases multiverse adventure

Three people sit in the front of a ship and look out the window.

Marvel is heading back into the multiverse just in time for the holidays in What If...? season 2. In the new trailer for the Disney+ series, Marvel revealed that a new episode from season 2 will debut for nine consecutive days starting December 22, 2023.

The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) narrates What If...? and guides audiences through alternate realities where major events in the MCU happened differently. For example, what if Peggy Carter, not Steve Rogers, were the First Avenger? What if T'Challa became Star-Lord and not the Black Panther? What if Thor were an only child? As The Watcher states in the trailer: "Things have gotten a little twisted in the multiverse."
