SBS to fast-track Orphan Black season 2

SBS will fast-track the second season of Orphan Black, first making it available on SBS On Demand immediately after it airs in the US and screening it on television two days later.

The Canadian sci-fi will be available at SBS on Demand from 12pm Sunday April 20 and premieres on SBS 2 at 8:30pm Tuesday April 22nd. SBS describes the move as “a classic win win for viewers.”

SBS 2 will also replay series one with over two nights on Sunday April 13 and Monday April 14 from 10:30pm.

The new season hits the ground running with Sarah (Tatiana Maslany) in a desperate race to find her missing daughter – a wild pursuit that brings her head-to-head with ruthless pro-clone, Rachel (Maslany). Sarah’s bond with her clone sisters Alison (Maslany) and Cosima (Maslany) remains strong as they struggle to keep their clone world a secret. They have all made choices that have dire consequences, leaving Sarah to navigate a dangerous world of new enemies and shifting allegiances.

In the season premiere, Sarah is out of options, on the run, and pursued by deadly adversaries. Desperate to find her daughter Kira, Sarah suspects ruthless pro-clone Rachel is behind her daughter’s disappearance and sparks an all-out war against her. Alison and Donnie attend the funeral of her fallen friend, Aynsley, causing Alison to sink into guilt and despair. Cosima is faced with a perplexing decision that may have dire consequences.
