Starring Tatiana Maslany (who won an Emmy for her work on the series), Jordan Gavaris, Kevin Hanchard, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Kristian Bruun, Ari Millen, and Maria Doyle Kennedy, Orphan Black has skyrocketed to popularity because of moving performances alongside consistently great writing.
In what should be another award-winning season, the show will offer fans’ closure as the ongoing war between the clone sestras and Neolutionists come to a head. The official synopsis released by BBC for Season 5 is:
"Cosima and Alison (both played by Maslany), and their allies have been brought to heel. Even more harrowing is that Sarah’s daughter Kira (Skyler Wexler) has joined them in surrender. Rachel, sitting at the head of the Neolution table, has carte blanche access to their clone biology, and with Helena (Maslany) pregnant with twins, her biology is the most coveted of all. Sarah, and those still able to fight, will uncover the missing pieces of the insidious conspiracy – and finally free themselves from the tyranny that has taken over their lives. Despite the great risk, the fight of her life will either set her and her sestras free, or see them meet their end."
