Orphan Black is due to air its fifth and final season in June (we know, such a wait!) and BBC America has started to get the hype train rolling by releasing some first-look images - and we've cloned a handful of them for your viewing pleasure right here.

See what we did there?

Tatiana Maslany is back as Sarah Manning, and she's joined by Tatiana Maslany as Rachel Duncan. We're not sure what's going on with the cup of (we're assuming) tea but that's going to stain Rachel's lovely white outfit.

Of course we're sure that's the least of Sarah's worries, as demonstrated by her intense staring at a visibly nervous Felix (Jordan Gavaris). We're not sure wether Siobhán (Maria Doyle Kennedy) is trying to comfort Sarah, or hold her back.

Moving onto Cophine now, or Delphine (Évelyne Brochu) and Cosima (Maslany) as folk who don't use Tumblr would call them.

If TV has taught us anything, it's that walking around the woods with a gun never works out well for anyone.

And finally back to Sarah, who's definitely seen better days. The official synopsis for the fifth season states that "the walls close in on Sarah when nearly all her sestras and their allies are brought to heel by Rachel.

"Even more harrowing is that her daughter Kira has joined them. With the threat of Neolution having carte blanche access to clone biology, Sarah is desperate to gain control, but realises she must change tactics to pursue a long game.

"Protecting both her families, and the host of clones she's yet to meet, Sarah and those still fighting the fight will uncover the missing pieces of the insidious conspiracy – and finally learn the story behind their origin."

Orphan Black returns to BBC America on June 10 (in America, obviously). Netflix streams the show in the UK.
