Tatiana Maslany revealed some really exciting news for Orphan Black fans – the cast is getting back together for a virtual table read!
The 34-year-old actress revealed the news this week that Maria Doyle Kennedy, Jordan Gavaris, Kristian Bruun, Kevin Hanchard, Dylan Bruce, Evelyne Brochu, Josh Vokey, Michael Mando and more will reunite for a special cause.
“Kristian Bruun and I started talking about the idea of doing an OB reunion back when everything had shut down,” Tatiana shared. “We wanted to show love to Clone Club and help raise some money for people who are disproportionately affected during this difficult time.”
The Orphan Black cast will bring not just one, but two episodes to life through the show’s official Facebook page, and it will raise money for CenterLink and Sistering in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, and International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.
The Orphan Black reunion will happen on Sunday, May 17, at 3/2c.

Orphan Black ran from 2013-2018, earning Tatiana an Emmy in 2016.
Here’s some super cool news for fans of Orphan Black – the series will be continuing on the audio and reading platform Serial Box!
Tatiana Maslany is set to narrate the audio continuation of the series and reprise her roles from the Emmy-winning television show.
Orphan Black: The Next Chapter picks up the clones’ story eight years after the events of the show when biologist Cosima and her sestras, Sarah Manning and Alison Hendrix, along with other familiar (and not so familiar) faces, are forced out of their fiercely protected private lives to stop a global disaster.
The first episode will be released on Serial Box on September 12 and a new episode will be released each week after that, though there will be a mid-season hiatus after episode five.
The show, which became a cult hit on BBC America, is in the early stages of getting a new treatment set “in the same world” at AMC according to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday (March 12).
It is not a sequel or reboot, but rather a new show set in the same world telling a whole new story with new characters.
The original show, which starred Tatiana Maslany as a woman who discovers she has clones, ran from 2013 to 2017.

Tatiana Maslany is opening up about tonight’s Orphan Black series finale!
The 31-year-old actress and star of the show chatted with The Hollywood Reporter about Orphan Black’s finale after five seasons.
“We’ve had such a good run with Clone Club and it’s been the whole reason people have watched the show, so I don’t know what that’s going to look like in the future,” Tatiana told site. “It’s all been so moving… This fan base has been so supportive and fans across the world have been supporting each other and taking care of each other… that’s just the coolest thing.”
When asked about a possible spinoff series or movie, it doesn’t sound like Tatiana wants anymore Orphan Black – right now at least.
“If there was some story that we really wanted to tell that fit in the Orphan Black universe and it was vital and different and new then that would be super cool,” Tatiana said. “But we finished this before it trailed on too long so hopefully it left people wanting more as opposed to being like, ‘Thank God that’s over.’”
SPOILER ALERT – don’t continue reading if you haven’t watched the latest episode of Orphan Black.
Orphan Black‘s latest episode aired last night and revealed the death of Felix and Sarah’s beloved foster mother Mrs. S, played by actress Maria Doyle Kennedy.
Mrs. S was shot by Ferdinand after he was betrayed by Rachel. The two were in a shooting match and while Mrs. S did get in some shots, she was ultimately killed.
Creator Graeme Manson spoke with EW about the shocking death.
“If you track the story and you track the story of Sarah and Mrs. S, we’re telling a generational story now. Ultimately, we’re telling that story about Sarah’s journey, and to step into those big shoes of her mother is really the strongest journey that Sarah can make. So, there was a drop in the writer’s room. There was one of those moments of deep breath when the idea came up because it’s our final season. Someone has to go, and this made sense. And the first phone calls that we made were to Tatiana and to Maria to talk about this, and everybody had the same reaction – that gut reaction that this was the gut punch the series needed,” Graeme told the publication.
