Keeley Hawes’ new drama cancelled after one season

As a long-time fan of the groundbreaking sci-fi series “Orphan Black”, I must admit I was thrilled when I heard about the spin-off, “Echoes”. Keeley Hawes’ portrayal of Kira Manning as an adult was captivating, and the introduction of a new character played by Krysten Ritter added an intriguing twist to the story.


Keeley Hawes’ new drama Orphan Black: Echoes has been cancelled after just one season.

The American broadcast of the spinoff series of “Orphan Black,” which aired from 2013 to 2017, has concluded after a 10-episode run (it was released all at once in the UK in May). Regrettably, it won’t be getting a second season.

According to a recent report by The Deadline, Echoes failed to capture the interest of fans and received less than stellar reviews from critics.

In the series, Hawes portrays Kira Manning, who is the grown-up version of a character from the initial show. Kira is genetically related to one of the five clones, and she’s currently married to a neuroscientist named Eleanor. They have a son together named Lucas.

The story commences as Kira encounters a woman suffering from amnesia, portrayed by the talented actress Krysten Ritter, who is also known for her roles in Jessica Jones and Breaking Bad.

Last year, the creator of the original series, John Fawcett, pointed out what makes “Echoes” unique in an interview. He stated that “Echoes” is a distinct show from its predecessor, “Orphan Black”. If you expect it to be similar, you might be let down. Instead, it has its own distinctive flavor and identity.

The show, titled “Orphan Black“, has a gradual build-up that might not grab you right away. However, I believe longtime fans will find it thrilling as they uncover its mysteries.

Previously, the creative team mentioned that they concluded the show to avoid repetition. However, Fawcett clarified his reasons for returning for Echoes.

He stated, “The project was inevitable regardless of my involvement, but I have the choice to participate in it or step aside.
