Netflix US has finally added a critically acclaimed TV series with one of the best first episodes ever to its catalogue. The streaming service keeps shaking up its library, sometimes removing big titles but also bringing in gems that quickly grab attention. This latest addition, Orphan Black, has already made a splash and landed in the US top 10 TV series chart just over a week after its debut.
Orphan Black: Binge-Worthy Sci-Fi Show With Five Seasons
The show spans five seasons and has 50 episodes, making it perfect for a serious binge-watch. It originally aired on BBC America from 2013 to 2017 before finally landing on Netflix on September 1, 2025. Tatiana Maslany, now known for She-Hulk, earned three Emmy nominations for her performance and won in 2016 on her second nomination.
She plays Sarah Manning, a woman who assumes the identity of a dead woman who looks exactly like her. But it does not stop there, as Sarah soon discovers she is one of many genetically identical clones caught in a huge conspiracy. Alongside her foster brother Felix and fellow clones Alison and Cosima, also played by Maslany, she must uncover the truth behind their creation while evading dangerous enemies.
Orphan Black is the #7 show on Netflix in the US!
