Meet the cast of Orphan Black: Echoes
The sci-fi drama is streaming now on ITVX.
Forget the Kardashians! The only Ks we're interested in right now are Krysten Ritter and Keeley Hawes, who have joined forces for hotly anticipated sci-fi spin-off Orphan Black: Echoes.
A sequel of sorts to the BBC America series that launched Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law) to fame, Echoes brings us back to its dangerous world of cloning and biological modification.
Set almost four decades after the events of the original, the series follows Dr Kira Manning (Hawes), the now-adult daughter of Sarah (Maslany), as she helps an amnesiac woman named Lucy (Ritter) discover the truth about herself.
Season 1 is available to stream right now on ITVX – but first, here's a brief introduction to the key players, and where you might have seen them before.
