Spoiler alert! This article contains “Orphan Black” spoilers. Read on if you would like to know what happens next before the next episode airs.
BBC has just dropped an extended teaser for Season 5 of “Orphan Black” and it shows how emotional the next episodes will be. The two-minute clip shows a flashback of Beth (Tatiana Maslany) deciding to kill herself. In the next few scenes, a series of important events in the lives of her clones are shown. Fast forward to the present, Helena, Sarah, Alison and Cosima talk about the bond that they share. They also talk about their relationships with other people, friends and their loved ones.
This teaser also hints at what’s in store for all these clones in season 5. It is revealed that every single one of them will face a huge challenge, but they will be tough and will stick together despite the adversity. This is shown when the clip ends with all of them standing beside each other while holding each other close.
When the first episode was previewed recently at Paley Fest, “Orphan Black” star and Emmy winner Tatiana Maslany kept the deconstruction of the first episode to a bare minimum. The onstage conversation boiled down to revealing details about Rachel, the show’s villain, whom viewers have seen to get more complex and more evil. In the previous season, viewers saw Rachel meet the mother who left her at the cloning organization.
Maslany said that she feels that Rachel has the biggest arcs and that she has gone through a lot. She definitely had gone through situations that had changed her entirely. With what is ahead of her, viewers will get to see how she clamors back into power. Behind her, there is also this man named PT Westmoreland, a Neolutionist who is over 100 years old and had authored a paper on cloning. He has been presiding on the island in secret. Here viewers will see a lot of the sister clones from the first episode.
The fifth and final season of “Orphan Black” is set to premiere on June 10 at 10 p.m. on BBC America. In Australia, it will air on SyFy.
