Orphan Black cast and crew have officially begun production on season 3 and we have more information about what might happen to our favorite clones.
Season 2 spoilers ahead.
In a press release from BBC America, the network has officially announced today as the start of production for season 3!
The synopsis reads, “Season three plunges the clone sisterhood into unexpected territory with the realization that they’re not alone. Just when they thought they knew their enemies and allies, season three reveals our clones are more vulnerable than ever before. Highly trained, identical male-soldiers raise more questions than answers. Who are these new clones? Who created them? And more importantly, why do they exist? Sarah, Cosima, Alison and Helena are stronger together than they are apart, but this season will put that bond to the test. Will they forge towards their truth, or fall at the feet of those that seek to control them?”
Although the official press release came today it seems production has been on for a couple of days now, with show creator Graeme Manson tweeting out several photos of the cast.

Tatiana Maslany is hard at work playing all of the clones we know and love, and today it looks like she put on Alison’s face for a scene with Kristian Bruun on a soccer field.
