The Jessica Jones alum will star in AMC Orphan Black: Echoesa spin-off from Tatiana Maslany– featuring black orphan series, E! The news confirms.
echoes is set in the near future and “dives deep into the exploration of the scientific manipulation of human existence,” according to the network. “It follows a group of women as they find their way into each other’s lives and embark on an exciting journey, unraveling the mystery of their identity and uncovering a heartbreaking tale of love and betrayal.”
Ritter will play Lucy, “a woman with an unimaginable origin story, trying to find her place in the world.” Ritter is also an executive producer on the series.
Fans of the original series can rest easy, because echoes is bragging black orphan co-creator John Fawcett as director and executive producer.
