Orphan Black Season 3 - The Wolf Pack

As if Sarah and her clone sisters didn’t have enough trouble, now the boys are back in town. And we’re not talking about the Thin Lizzy track.

BBC America has debuted a new trailer for the upcoming third season of Orphan Black, the hit series about a woman who discovers she’s far from being one of a kind.

Titled “The Wolf Pack,” the preview of the new season puts the focus on Project: Castor, the [SPOILER ALERT] counterpart to the cloning experiment that produced Sarah and the rest of her fellow clones. The only difference? These clones were all male and raised in a military institution, fully aware of each other’s existence and trained to work together.

And now they’re hunting their sisters.

Ari Millen plays the “brothers” of Project: Castor, whose personalities are just as varied as those of Sarah and her sister clones, and possibly more dangerous.

For those who have yet to enter the rabbit hole that is Orphan Black, now is as good a time as any to dive into the series from the starting point. Both of the first two seasons are available on Amazon’s Instant Video platform, and though you’ve now been let in on the secret, it’s still a brilliant ride that’s as addictive as any other thriller you’ll find online or otherwise.

Now entering its third season, many have pointed to the critically praised series’ lack of Primetime Emmy Award nominations — particularly for Maslany — one of the most conspicuous snubs from award committee the last two years.

The third season of Orphan Black premieres Saturday, April 18, at 9pm ET on BBC America.

Orphan: First Kill’s new trailer reveals Esther’s origin

Isabelle Fuhrman in Orphan: First Kill.

This summer, Esther's back. Well, sort of. The deceptively youthful face who launched numerous memes made her debut in Orphan, the 2009 thriller starring Isabelle Fuhrman in the title role. Despite her childlike appearance, Esther is both a cold-blooded killer and a fully adult woman whose body suffers from hypopituitarism.

Esther was 33 in the original film, and Fuhrman is only 25, which means she's still young enough to portray Esther in the new prequel film, Orphan: First Kill. As you can see in the trailer below, First Kill may be a bit of a misnomer. Esther already seems to be very well-acquainted with the art of murder.

Vote for Joker in the new trailer for Harley Quinn season 3

Vote Joker in Harley Quinn season 3.

In DC's comic book universe, The Joker once ran for office with a simple campaign slogan: "Vote for me or I'll kill you." It's an oddly compelling argument, in its own way. Now, one of The Joker's animated counterparts is also running for office in the new season of Harley Quinn on HBO Max. And as you can see in the trailer below, Joker has his sights set on becoming Gotham City's next mayor.

Butcher powers up in a new trailer for The Boys season 3

The cast of The Boys.

One of the key changes that The Boys live-action series made from the comic book that inspired it is that the main characters have no superhuman powers of their own. They're just regular guys and one woman with enhanced strength. Somehow, they've managed to survive two seasons on Prime Video's breakout hit. However, it's time for Billy Butcher and his team to level the playing field.

In the gore-filled new trailer for The Boys season 3, a significant amount of time has passed since the events of season 2. Outwardly, Homelander was humbled by the revelation that he was dating a super Nazi code-named Stormfront. And while Homelander says all of the right things to the media, it's clear that he's losing his mind. It's so obvious that even Homelander's handlers are terrified of him. That's why Butcher has been given the chance to become the very thing he hates the most: A superhuman. But against Homelander, even having powers may not be enough.
