BBC America has announced that the sci-fi show starring Tatiana Maslany, Tatiana Maslany, and a few other Tatiana Maslanys will return for a fourth year. The show’s currently airing third season is only three episodes in, but has apparently been doing well enough to guarantee _Orphan_’s return in 2016. Season 3 has expanded on season 2’s cliffhanger ending by introducing a set of male clones to go up against the Maslany-portrayed female clones, who have been part of the show since its start. _Orphan Black_ currently airs Saturdays on BBC America.
