New cast members have been added to BBC America's sci-fi clone thriller starring the hardest working actress Tatiana Maslany on television, who plays more than three distinct roles on one show. James Frain, Ksenia Solo, Kyra Harper, Earl Pastko, and Justin Chatwin now join Season 3 of Orphan Black.
As we previously mentioned, con artist Sarah Manning (Maslany) discovers several people who look identical to her. Sarah and the others, including soccer mom Alison, killer Katja, and geek girl Cosima (all played by Maslany), happen to be part of a cloning experiment gone horribly wrong. The military, a corporation, and a religious cult all seem to be part of the conspiracy to get their hands on the clones and Sarah's daughter.
In the second season cliffhanger, it was revealed that not only does Sarah have the identical sisters, her DNA was manipulated by geneticist to form male versions of herself.
According to TV Line, BBC America announced the addition of 5 incoming cast members to the series. Orphan Black is scheduled to return for its third season in the following year. Something has to fill in the space after Doctor Who returns for its annual Christmas special.
After scaring the hell out of us on True Blood, the Grimm actor will guest star as Ferdinand, "a well-educated, 'cleaner' who is both charming and intimidating."
The Lost Girl actress will play Shay, who is described as "a soulful and compassionate holistic healer with a great sense of humor." She will eventually become a new friend to Cosima.
The Murdoch Mysteries actor joins as Bulldog, who is "Ferdinand's silent, imposing and violent personal bodyguard." Bulldog will communicate with his boss by looks only.
The Shameless actor will play Jason Kellerman, "a savvy drug-dealer in the guise of a charismatic businessman."
