New York – June 30, 2015 – Golden Globe® nominee Tatiana Maslany is back again (and again, and again) in BBC AMERICA’s groundbreaking original drama, Orphan Black: Season Three, on Blu-ray and DVD August 4, 2015.

After neutralizing the threat by the DYAD Institute and the ruthless clone Rachel (Maslany), Project Leda clones Sarah, Alison, Cosima and Helena, (Maslany) are finally all united in their journey towards the truth of who and what they are. But new discoveries that include Helena’s kidnapping, a book that could contain the answers to their existence, and the most shocking discovery of them all – a set of treacherous militaristic male clones (Ari Millen) with an unknown agenda – will test how tight their new bonds are.
Co-created by Graeme Manson and John Fawcett, with Manson also serving as writer and Fawcett as director, the Peabody Award-winning drama also stars Jordan Gavaris as Felix, Sarah’s loyal and feisty foster-brother, Maria Doyle Kennedy as Mrs. S., Sarah’s foster-mother, Evelyne Brochu as DYAD scientist Delphine, Kristain Bruun as Donnie, Alison’s loveable oaf of a husband, Skylar Wexler as Sarah’s daughter Kira, Michiel Huisman as Kira’s father Cal, Dylan Bruce as Paul, an army officer working for secret forces in the clone world, Kevin Hanchard as Art, a detective caught in the clone trap, and Zoe De Grand’ Maison as Gracie, a Prolethean escapee.
