The series takes place ten years before their world changed forever when Sarah takes her daughter Kira away from an orphanage in Ukraine to find her sister and eventually winds up discovering a whole new family.

Story of The Orphan Black: Echoes

The Orphan Black: Echoes is a series that tells the story of how the person who would become Sarah came to be an orphan and her first encounters with other characters throughout her life. This particular perspective is unique in that it encompasses not only flashbacks throughout her life but also flashes forward into her future as an adult. The series begins at the time when Sarah is sixteen years old. She is living in the suburbs of Toronto with her adopted parents, which she describes as “the Brady Bunch on steroids”.

Despite her love for them and them for her, there are several problems in their relationship. Unlike the Bradys, Phillip and Susan Manning seem to have problems spending time together as a family; they both work constantly which has gained their financial stability but left their daughter feeling lonely most of the time.

Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter will appear in the Orphan Black sequel series

With the release of the series finale on June 19th, it’s now time to start plotting our next move: what happens next? What’s happened in the intervening 10 years since we last saw Sarah and Alison? What has transpired during this tumultuous period? And most importantly, how will they be able to survive a world that has changed so drastically since their last encounter?

Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter is already confirmed as playing Sarah Manning in Orphan Black season four, but speculation continues about who will play Alison Hendrix. According to reports, BBC America has approached My So-Called Life star (and some say current Vampire Diaries star), Katie Holmes, as a possible Sarah clone. This would be a bold move on Holmes’s part, but her talent and dedication to the role may very well make it worth her while.

Another name that has been thrown around for both Sarah and Alison is Dana Delany, who played Sarah on two episodes of TVD in the series premiere and summer finale. One intriguing option is The Walking Dead’s Emily Kinney – she played Beth in season 3 of the AMC series, which saw Beth’s disintegrating mind sent into an alternate universe where Sarah was the sibling she never had.
