Orphan Black superfans to get their own after-show talk show, After the Black

Orphan Black fans will be able to dissect each episode of the upcoming season through a new follow-up talk show called After the Black slated to air on BBC immediately following each episode.

Running 30 minutes long and hosted by Ajay Fray, Morgan Hoffman, and Teddy Wilson of Innerspace, the show will feature cast, crew, and special guests who will talk about what just happened, and what’s coming next. The show will also feature special segments and behind-the-scenes footage.

Additionally, each episode of After the Black will provide a sneak peek into the next one, as well as additional insight into the making of the series.

AMC has had tremendous success with a similar format through its “Talking” series, hosted by Chris Hardwick, including Talking Dead after The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead, Talking Bad (which aired after Breaking Bad), and, most recently, Talking Saul after Better Call Saul. Each show features cast and crew members, as well as other celebrity fans, who give their take on each episode.

Lead actor Tatiana Maslany, who plays several cloned characters on Orphan Black, will appear on the first episode of After the Black, along with Kevin Hanchard (Detective Arthur Bell).

In the new season, Sarah (Maslany) and her clone sisters (all also played by Maslany) will continue to search for answers about their existence. And several new clones will emerge, including the return of seemingly ditzy nail salon employee Krystal.

What happened to Delphine? Why did Beth really jump in front of that train? What kind of new dangers will Sarah be in? And what will happen with Helena (Maslany) and her expected baby? We’ll soon find out, and we’ll get to hear all of our inner commentary played out through this new show that will analyze the story in more depth each week.

The first After the Black episode, produced by Bell Media In-House Productions, will air at 11 p.m. on Thursday, April 14 on BBC, immediately following the season four premiere of Orphan Black, which airs at 10 p.m.

Steven Spielberg on a boat as the Jaws shark is in the background.

July is for the blockbusters. By the end of the month, three of the biggest movies of the year will be in theaters. These include Jurassic World Rebirth, Superman, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Both Jurassic World and Superman are well on their way to making half a billion dollars. Early tracking suggests Fantastic Four will do the same.

The three underrated movies below will not be box office juggernauts. Some are bypassing theaters and premiering directly on streaming. Two of the three are documentaries, including the terrific Jaws @ 50, which details the making of the seminal shark thriller. View the rest of our picks below.

7 best Superman movies, ranked
Superman readies to fight in Superman.

Superman was the first superhero, but his screen history lacks successful outings. The Man of Steel, an upright do-gooder who is more powerful than any other superhero, has proven difficult to adapt because he's neither terribly conflicted nor all that vulnerable.

James Gunn's Superman is just the latest attempt to tell a story about this character, and not the first one to be a success. We've ranked the long history of Superman movies on screen, narrowing it down to his seven best live-action films:

2025 Emmy nominations: Severance dominates, Apple TV+ impresses, and more observations
Two people stare at a computer.

The Television Academy rewarded the battle between innies and outies as Severance led the 2025 Emmy nominations with 27. Season 2 of the hit sci-fi drama is the frontrunner to win Outstanding Drama Series. The more impressive feat is the six acting nominations for the principal cast, with Adam Scott and Britt Lower leading the way in the categories for Lead Actor and Actress in a Drama Series.

Speaking of the lead actor, Scott's toughest competition will be Noah Wyle, who secured a nomination for his portrayal of Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch on The Pitt. It's Wyle's first Emmy nomination since receiving five consecutive nods in the '90s for playing Dr. John Carter on ER. It will be difficult for The Pitt to knock off Severance for Outstanding Drama, but there is an "it's time" narrative for Wyle building that could propel him to the Emmy over Scott.
