There are new cast members joining the new Orphan Black spin-off series Orphan Black: Echoes.
The spin-off, which stars Jessica Jones' Krysten Ritter, has added Zombieland actor Avan Jogia and Amanda Fix to the cast (via Deadline).
Orphan Black: Echoes is an offshoot series set in the world of Orphan Black. The ten-episode series sees a group of women – two of which are played by Ritter and Fix – weave their way into each other's lives and embark on a thrilling journey as they "unravel the mystery of their identity and uncover a wrenching story of love and betrayal".

In a statement, Fawcett expressed his excitement about the show back in April, saying: "Embarking on a new saga of Orphan Black with Anna, our partners at Boat Rocker, and AMC could not be more exciting."
"For all our dedicated OB fans out there, I am thrilled that we can bring this new chapter to them. Without our fans, this new show certainly wouldn't exist and for that I am deeply grateful. I can't wait to 'follow the crazy science' for them!" he added.
The original Orphan Black show starred Tatiana Maslany, who can now be seen in Marvel's She-Hulk: Attorney At Law.
Orphan Black: Echoes premieres in 2023. She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is streaming on Disney+, with new episodes premiering on Thursdays.
