"Her name is M.K."

Thanks to Entertainment Weekly's week-long "First Look" feature, we have our first look at Orphan Black's newest clone, M.K., who will be the latest clone to be portrayed by the über-talented Tatiana Maslany. She's being described as the most mysterious clone yet, who will finally cross paths with Sarah this season to reluctantly help her as she searches for the answers she needs to help her seestras. Co-creator Graeme Manson shared a tidbit about her dynamic with Sarah: "She comes out of the shadows and for the first time we’re meeting someone who knows more than us. Sarah is meeting a clone who has got more answers than she does, and yet she’s a slippery character." Co-creator John Fawcett expands on M.K. a bit further: "And very elusive. And quite highly skilled and very smart. And it is interesting as Sarah tries to interact with this character who is almost kind of like a Deep Throat kind of character. What’s very cool about it is this is a clone who has been self-aware for some time." He also adds that while she may be extremely helpful to Sarah's cause, she also comes with "a little bit of a dangerous side," so Sarah & Clone Club will certainly need to watch their backs while dealing with her (although thankfully they do have Helena).

As for her motivations, they're a bit murky, but it doesn't sound like joining Clone Club will be particularly high on her things-to-do list. While Fawcett & Manson do suggest she'll eventually help her seestras, it won't be something she does willingly, at least not at first: "She’s very paranoid. She’s very security conscious. She knows more than Sarah does so she knows how dangerous the whole thing is. She’s purposefully avoided contact with the sisters to keep herself safe, and Sarah is now trying to draw her out of the shadows and trying to utilize the information that she has so that Sarah can follow her own mystery and fill in the blanks and protect Alison and protect Cosima from Neolution. But this girl is very unwilling."

Check out the full teaser introducing "M.K." below:

Plus, check out these two new stills of M.K. in action:

New Season. New Secrets. Orphan Black Returns This April.

Sarah, reluctantly return home from her Icelandic hideout to track down an elusive and mysterious ally tied to the clone who started it all — Beth Childs. Sarah will follow Beth’s footsteps into a dangerous relationship with a potent new enemy, heading in a horrifying new direction. Under constant pressure to protect the sisterhood and keep everyone safe, Sarah’s old habits begin to resurface. As the close-knit sisters are pulled in disparate directions, Sarah finds herself estranged from the loving relationships that changed her for the better.

@KingPatel

It might be on my end, but the two images at the top and the three at the bottom are "broken."

And is this actual footage or promotional footage??

Why are they hiding her face. We know how she's gonna look. LOL.

Superheromoviefan - 12/31/2015, 3:40 AM

So she is another helena
i love the show, but they seem to bring too many unnecessary clones

@KingPatel

Got ya! The top image is still broken on my end. And the first two at the bottom are visible now, but the last image is broken.

hahahaha!

@MrSuperheromoviefan - "So she is another helena

I agree, to some extent, but it's ultimately how the clones are used. A couple clones have been more one-offs and in some cases I think they're "fun or interesting" ideas they want to incorporate, but with minor significance. More "filler" characters/subplots. Maybe they're writing an episode and need something to serve as a scene/subplot and decide it'd be neat/fun to see Tatiana play this kind of character, like Tony and Krystal.

From the description, it sounds like the new clone isn't "just because" or unnecessary, it sounds like she'll serve/advance the story. Or at least that's what I hope!

She's definitely not another Helena. She's the lead character in the current comic book series if anyone wants to know more of her backstory ahead of time. Although giving the name of the current comic series might even be considered a spoiler for those looking to go in fresh. But to confirm it's the same person, in addition to clothing choices, "MK" is part of her clone serial number. She'll be an interesting character for Tatiana to play.
