Krysten Ritter Set to Star in AMC's ORPHAN BLACK: ECHOES Series

Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones, Breaking Bad) is signed on to star in and executive producer AMC’s upcoming series Orphan Black: Echoes, which is an offshoot if the Orphan Black series.

Orphan Black: Echoes takes place in the near future, and the story “explores the scientific manipulation of human existence. It follows a group of women — one of them played by Ritter — as they weave their way into each other’s lives and embark on a thrilling journey, unravelling the mystery of their identity and uncovering a wrenching story of love and betrayal.”

Ritter will play Lucy, who’s described as “a woman with an unimaginable origin story, trying to find her place in the world.” Ritter’s great, and this is going to be a fantastic project for her to be a part of. I’m happy that she’s been set to star in it. She’s going to fit right in with this franchise.

The series was created by Anna Fishko, who is also a writer and the showrunner of the series. She is also an executive producer along with John Fawcett, the co-creator of the original series, and he also serves as a director. David Fortier and Ivan Schneeberg, executive producers on the original Orphan Black, also return as executive producers on the new series.

The series will consist of ten episodes and it will premiere in 2023 on AMC Networks’ digital platform AMC+.
