Check out the trailer for Orphan Black: Echoes, an upcoming sci-fi thriller drama series set in the original universe of the Orphan Black series. Orphan Black: Echoes stars Krysten Ritter (Marvel?s Jessica Jones, Love and Death). The series also stars Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard, It?s A Sin, Line of Duty), Amanda Fix (North of Normal, High School), Avan Jogia (Now Apocalypse, Zombieland: Double Tap), Rya Kihlstedt (A Teacher, One Mississippi) and James Hiroyuki Liao (Barry, The Dropout).

Set in the near future, Orphan Black: Echoes takes a deep dive into the exploration of the scientific manipulation of human existence. It follows a group of women as they weave their way into each other's lives and embark on a thrilling journey, unraveling the mystery of their identity and uncovering a wrenching story of love and betrayal. Ritter plays Lucy, a woman with an unimaginable origin story, trying to find her place in the world.

Anna Fishko (Pieces of Her, The Society, Fear the Walking Dead) is creator, writer, showrunner and executive producer of Orphan Black: Echoes with John Fawcett, the co-creator of the original series who also directed 17 episodes across all five seasons, serving as director and executive producer. David Fortier and Ivan Schneeberg, executive producers from Boat Rocker on the original Orphan Black series, return as executive producers on the new series. Boat Rocker?s Nick Nantell also executive produces, in addition to Katie O?Connell Marsh and Kerry Appleyard.

Orphan Black: Echoes will premiere on Sunday, June 23 at 10pm ET/PT on AMC and BBC AMERICA; available to stream on AMC+. New episodes will air weekly on Sundays at 10pm ET/PT.

I've only seen the first season of Orphan Black, which I enjoyed and somehow didn't continue watching, and this has made me very interested to go and watch seasons 2-6 on ITV X

'Red Dwarf' returning to television with new three-episode special / British Comedy Guide

"Red Dwarf is returning for a new special next year after half a decade away from television screens, British Comedy Guide can exclusively reveal.

Filming on the feature-length instalment, which are set to be spread over three 30-minute episodes, begins in October, with Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules and Robert Llewellyn all returning to the sci-fi comedy..."

And in related news...

"Speaking in November at a BFI event, Red Dwarf co-creator Rob Grant revealed that he was developing a series prequel, featuring a young Rimmer and young Lister, which he is writing with 2point4 Children creator Andrew Marshall, with whom he previously worked on the Radio 4 show Quanderhorn.

"I can't say too much, but it's a prequel and we're very excited about it" Grant told Radio Times. "Hopefully we'll see it soon!""

This is still being developed, so it is a long way off...

"1313" - James Wan Producing Dark Reboot of "The Munsters"

"In the wake of Rob Zombie?s direct-to-video movie The Munsters back in 2022, Universal has now announced '1313,' a brand new small screen reboot of the iconic television series.

Developed and produced by James Wan?s company Atomic Monster, the new Universal horror series is said to be ?a darker reimagining of the 1964 classic sitcom The Munsters.?

Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) will serve as the showrunner for ?1313.? The title is of course a reference to the Munster family?s address, 1313 Mockingbird Lane.

Executive producers are Lindsey Anderson Beer and James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett for Atomic Monster. Ingrid Bisu is a co-exec producer on the upcoming series."

Not sure if we are going to get it in Blighty (probably not), but Germany is producing it's own version of the sitcom 'Ghosts'

"Filming is now underway on the 6 x 30? series directed by Erik Haffner and produced by BBC Studios Germany. Filming takes place in Cologne and will continue throughout the summer.

Featuring a stellar cast, Ghosts centres around young couple Emma (Cristina do Rego) and Felix (Benito Bause), who inherit an old mansion and decide to turn it into a hotel. After a near-death accident Emma suddenly starts to see ghosts. These bizarre and chaotic roommates, including characters such as the Neanderthal Urs (Jan van Weyde), the Roman legionnaire Claudius (Max Giermann), the Countess Adelheid (Antje Widdra), the feminist maid Griet (Meltem Kaptan), the insurance salesman Joachim (Sebastian Schwarz), the teacher Svenni (Sina Tkotsch) and the love-hungry poet Friedrich Dorn (Alexander Khuon) come from different eras and cause quite a stir in the couple's lives."

I loved the original UK version of the show, but thought the US version took forever to grip me. Wonder what this one will be like
