Orphan Black follows outsider, orphan and street-wise chameleon Sarah, who will be portrayed by actress Tatiana Maslany (“Picture Day”). After witnessing a woman’s suicide, Sarah assumes the stranger’s identity, who happens to look just like her. Expecting to solve all her problems by cleaning out the dead woman’s savings, Sarah is instead thrust headlong into a kaleidoscopic mystery as she realizes the dizzying truth: she and the dead woman are clones.
As Sarah searches for answers, she discovers the chilling fact that there are more people like her out there — genetically identical individuals who were planted in unsuspecting birth parents and nurtured in completely different circumstances. With no idea who created the clones, she’ll need to discover the reason in a hurry as an assassin is killing them one by one.
Tatiana Maslany as a number of clones (see below), all born in 1984 to various women by in vitro fertilisation. The series focuses on
Sarah Manning, a small-time con woman at the start of the series. Other clones include Elizabeth "Beth" Childs, a police detective;
Alison Hendrix, a soccer mom; Cosima Niehaus, a graduate student studying evolutionary developmental ("evo-devo") biology; and
Helena last name unknown), a religious zealot and assassin.
Jordan Gavaris as Felix ("Fee") Dawkins, Sarah's foster brother and confidant. He considers himself a modern artist, but moonlights as a male prostitute.
Dylan Bruce as Paul Dierden, an ex-military mercenary, who was contracted to be Beth's "Monitor" under the guise of her boyfriend. He later splits with the company following the discovery of Beth's death, and becomes Sarah's lover.
Kevin Hanchard as Detective Arthur "Art" Bell, Beth's police partner.
Maria Doyle Kennedy as Siobhan Sadler, Sarah and Felix's Irish foster mother, who call her "Mrs. S." She acts as guardian to Kira
Michael Mando as Vic, Sarah's abusive, drug-dealing ex-boyfriend.
Inga Cadranel as Detective Angela Deangelis, Art's new partner.
Skyler Wexler as Kira, Sarah's biological (naturally-conceived) daughter.
Matt Frewer as Dr. Aldous Leekie, head of The Dyad Institute and
the face of the Neolution movement.
