The new prequel that will be part of AMC 's content catalog has confirmed its first phase of filming, the award-winning story of 'John Fawcett', will have its final outcome in this new production, whose first episodes will be set years before the events of the original series.
The news has become a trend on Twitter and Instagram, after the official announcement published by the official AMC account and the director 'John Fawcett' on both social networks. Fans of the story have been waiting for the renewal of the story for more than 5 years, after the final installment of ' Orphan Black '.
The creator of the series 'Graeme Manson' revealed unpublished details about the first season of the series through a virtual press conference. 'Manson' stated that AMC 's goal is to create a different story from the 2018 series, which has the same background, but in a parallel sequence, so that new users can integrate.
Also, the characters we previously met in Orphan Black will not appear again, even in the form of 'cameos'.
