In the year 2052, “Echoes” continues the “Orphan Black: Echoes” saga with Kira (Krysten Ritter) and her wife navigating a future shaped by scientific manipulation. When they come across a woman who is blind, it sets off a chain of events where several women’s identities collide.
Now that fans have watched the first season of “Orphan Black”, they’re wondering if they’re getting another season any time soon. Let’s see what we know about “Orphan Black” season 2.
What Happened In The Previous Season Of Orphan Black: Echoes?
In a tense moment of “Orphan Black: Echoes” Episode 10 (the finale), Lucy and Jules, racing against time to uncover the truth about the brainwashed children, stumble upon a ward filled with unsettling revelations.
Startled to discover her false grandfather among the printed pictures, Jules grabs hold of them to expose the false identities and set the tricked children free. But when Xander—motivated by his past mistakes—appears and cruelly shoots Jules, their mission takes a sad turn, leaving Lucy heartbroken and helpless.
In the meantime, Kira finds comfort in the idea of starting a new life with Eleanor when she returns home. Kira is thrown into a state of perplexity and anxiety when Eleanor suddenly breaks the news that she has identified Kira as the 12th scan, shattering their shared happiness.
The episode ends with a stunning twist as Xander tells Lucy about “Jules 2.0,” adding to the tension and posing disturbing concerns about manipulation and deceit in their already complicated environment.
Are We Getting Another Season?
Creator Anna Fishko has expressed strong interest in continuing “Orphan Black: Echoes,” with Lucy’s long-term story arc already mapped out. However, we still don’t have confirmation regarding a second season of “Orphan Black: Echoes”.
In an interview with SFX Magazine, Fishko highlighted the collaborative joy of working on the series and expressed optimism about its future.
However, the show’s fate hinges on viewer reception following a staggered international release, beginning in Australia and New Zealand and concluding in the US. AMC will assess its performance across all major territories before deciding on renewal, making any news on a second season likely to emerge later in the year.
If renewed, “Orphan Black: Echoes” could adopt a production cycle akin to its predecessor, premiering annually from April to June. Following this tradition, fans might anticipate its potential return to screens by summer 2025, provided the series receives approval for a second season.
Who Will Be In The Cast?
If “Orphan Black: Echoes” returns, fans can expect Krysten Ritter and Keeley Hawes to reprise their roles as Lucy and Kira. The first season’s main cast also featured Amanda Fix as Jules, known for her work in “The Boys”; Avan Jogia as Jack, recognized from “Victorious” and “Zombieland: Double Tap”; James Hiroyuki Liao as Paul, notable for “Battle Los Angeles” and “Prison Break”; and Rya Kihlstedt as Dr. Eleanor Miller, known for “Dexter” and “Charmed.” Their potential return would continue to anchor the series with their diverse talents and character dynamics.

With creator Anna Fishko’s vision for Lucy’s arc already mapped out and a dedicated cast including Krysten Ritter and Keeley Hawes poised to return, the series holds promise for further exploration into themes of identity, manipulation, and moral dilemmas.
As AMC evaluates its global reception, we are hoping for a summer 2025 return, continuing the saga with renewed intrigue and suspense.
