BBC America gives fans a strange look at Orphan Black season 4 with new teaser

BBC America is already eyeing the return of Orphan Black season four. The network released a new teaser for the series on Christmas Day, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect when the series returns in April.

The new teaser is very limited in what it actually reveals, but it’s interesting — not to mention a little creepy — nonetheless. What fans get is a close-up of an eye while eerie music plays. At first the eye is normal, but when it closes and reopens, it has suddenly undergone technological enhancements. With the shuttering of the lid, the music also goes away, only to be replaced by what sounds like deep breaths.

The addicting sci-fi series centers on Sarah Manning (played by Tatiana Maslany), a woman who discovers she has a number of clone “sisters” out there. The series was renewed for a 10-episode fourth season in the spring and will continue to follow Sarah as she tries to track down an ally and finds herself involved with a dangerous new enemy.

“We’re thrilled to be moving forward with season four of the Orphan Black saga,” said co-creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson when the renewal was announced. “We’re extremely excited about where our story lines are going, and look forward to riding the rollercoaster with our amazing fans.”

The series also stars Jordan Gavaris, Maria Doyle Kennedy, and Skyler Wexler, among others. Orphan Black is a Peabody Award winner, and Maslany has won two Critics’ Choice Television Awards, a TCA Award, and two Canadian Screen Awards for her work on the show, not to mention been nominated for multiple other honors. The series is produced by Temple Street Productions in association with BBC America and Space.

Orphan Black season four is set to premiere in April 2016.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
