AMC says goodbye to Orphan Black: Echoes after a season, The Hollywood Reporter he learned.

THE Black Orphan The sequel series, starring Krysten Ritter, is set in the near future, in the same fictional world as the BBC cult series, directed by Tatiana Maslany, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of Sarah Manning.

According to its synopsis, Echoes followed a “grown-up Kira (Ritter) and her wife as they try to help an amnesiac woman. The futuristic series delves into an exploration of the scientific manipulation of human existence. A group of women insinuate themselves into each other's lives and embark on an emotional journey, unraveling the mystery of their identities and uncovering a heartbreaking story of love and betrayal.”

The series was created by writer and showrunner Anna Fishko and Boat Rocker, whose Temple Street Productions produced the original series that ran from 2013 to 2017. Fishko's credits also include AMC Fear the walking dead and Netflix The CompanyKeeley Hawes, Amanda Fix, Avan Jogia, Rya Kihlstedt and James Hiroyuki Liao round out the cast.

Ahead of the show's release, Ritter spoke with DAY about the show and how “difficult it is to launch” a new project in today's television landscape.

“There are so many platforms, and as a business decision, it's a bonus to have existing IPs, a marquee name, and a built-in fan base,” he said at the time. “So, it was appealing. And the reason this felt good to me is because it's a totally separate thing. It's not the same DNA. [as the original series]. It's set in the same world. We have clones or prints, but it's not the same. I don't play seven characters like Tatiana [Maslany]. We're not remaking that show, so it felt like this show was its own thing, too.”
