BBC AMERICA's Peabody Award winning series Orphan Black is a television series you should go watch immediately. The conspiracy thriller stars award-winner Tatiana Maslany in an unprecedented lead role as multiple clones – NINE characters, to be exact. Yes, that's correct: One woman, nine different people. Intrigued?
The third season of Orphan Black premieres Saturday, March 18th, 2015 on BBC AMERICA.
What makes Orphan Black special is its unique, clever, talented, passionate fans who collectively identify themselves as #CloneClub. Orphan Black celebrates the show and the fans of the series unlike any other network:
*We cover everything live:
We live Tumblr, Tweet, AND Instagram every episode premiere. (Come hang out with us on Saturdays this Spring.) We were the first TV brand ever to live GIF an episode premiere on Twitter. In 2014, Orphan Black was one of Twitter's Top 20 most-tweeted original dramas in ad-supported cable.
*We get the cast & creators in on the action:
Before almost every new episode premiere, we invite fans to a live twitter chat with talent. We also let Tumblr fans submit their question to talent, which they answer in our fan-favorite video series, AskOB. Each season the entire cast and crew of Orphan Black personally thank the fans for watching.
*We celebrate the fandom:
We partnered with Tumblr to throw our first official #CloneClub fan meetup at 2014 San Diego Comic Con, complete with cast appearances, clone makeup artists, and an EPIC DANCE PARTY. We host watch to wins and give away props from the set to fans who tweet with the hashtag #OrphanBlack. We showcase #CloneClub videos, tweets, and artwork on air!
