BBC America gives fans a strange look at Orphan Black season 4 with new teaser

BBC America is already eyeing the return of Orphan Black season four. The network released a new teaser for the series on Christmas Day, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect when the series returns in April.

The new teaser is very limited in what it actually reveals, but it’s interesting — not to mention a little creepy — nonetheless. What fans get is a close-up of an eye while eerie music plays. At first the eye is normal, but when it closes and reopens, it has suddenly undergone technological enhancements. With the shuttering of the lid, the music also goes away, only to be replaced by what sounds like deep breaths.

The addicting sci-fi series centers on Sarah Manning (played by Tatiana Maslany), a woman who discovers she has a number of clone “sisters” out there. The series was renewed for a 10-episode fourth season in the spring and will continue to follow Sarah as she tries to track down an ally and finds herself involved with a dangerous new enemy.

“We’re thrilled to be moving forward with season four of the Orphan Black saga,” said co-creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson when the renewal was announced. “We’re extremely excited about where our story lines are going, and look forward to riding the rollercoaster with our amazing fans.”

The series also stars Jordan Gavaris, Maria Doyle Kennedy, and Skyler Wexler, among others. Orphan Black is a Peabody Award winner, and Maslany has won two Critics’ Choice Television Awards, a TCA Award, and two Canadian Screen Awards for her work on the show, not to mention been nominated for multiple other honors. The series is produced by Temple Street Productions in association with BBC America and Space.

Orphan Black season four is set to premiere in April 2016.

Zack Snyder is back in the top 10 with Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver, the second film in his space opera series. Despite Snyder's popularity, the new Rebel Moon film could not unseat What Jennifer Did, which is the No. 1 movie for the second straight week. New additions to the top 10 include the comedy Knocked Up at No. 8 and the action movie Anna at No. 2.

Deadpool & Wolverine: Everything we know about the film formerly known as Deadpool 3
Deadpool and Wolverine stand together in Deadpool & Wolverine.

In retrospect, we should have suspected that Deadpool & Wolverine wouldn't keep its most famous co-star out of the title. In 2022, Ryan Reynolds coaxed Hugh Jackman into reprising his role as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's Logan. Once that happened, the name Deadpool 3 didn't fully convey how monumental this film would be.

So Marvel Studios has officially retitled it as Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman has also humorously rebranded the film as Wolverine & [expletive], which would make this R-rated flick a lot harder to market!

5 years ago, Game of Thrones aired its last great episode. Here’s why it still holds up
Jamie knights Brienne in episode 2 of Game of Thrones season 8.

Many fans would likely agree that Game of Thrones went out not with a bang, but a profound whimper. After dominating pop culture for nearly 10 years, the hit HBO series concluded with a trio of episodes that were universally reviled by both fans and critics alike. The show's lackluster, ham-fisted finale led to its popularity seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the five years since it aired, time hasn't been kind to Game of Thrones season 8.

To this day, many people still discuss the series' final season with a mix of bitterness and disbelief, and those fans won't find any disagreement about the quality of Game of Thrones' last few chapters here. As disappointing as its eighth season remains, though, April 21 marked the five-year anniversary of its noteworthy second episode, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fan-favorite installment ranks not only as its season's best chapter, but also as the last great episode that Game of Thrones ever produced.
