BWW Previews: ORPHAN BLACK: THE NEXT CHAPTER Continues 8 Years Later On Serial Box, Featuring Tatiana Maslany

Award-winning television series Orphan Black may have ended in 2017 after a successful five-season run, but it still has fans anxious for more. Now, thanks to Serial Box, the series will continue in a new medium -- and you can download the first episode right now for free.

Serial Box is a website that gives you serial episodes of a series that you can choose to either listen to or read across any device. Episodes generally range from 20-60 minutes. The audiobooks are narrated by professional actors, and the stories themselves are written by award-winning authors. You can switch seamlessly between listening to the story or reading it the traditional way, as your progress is saved between all platforms. You can access Serial Box through the web, or download the app for both Google Play and the Apple App Store.

Tatiana Maslany, who won an Emmy® for her ability to seamlessly shift personalities as various clones in Orphan Black, narrates the new episodic series. Orphan Black: The Next Chapter takes place eight years after the show's finale, and brings beloved favorites together with new characters to stop the onset of an impeding global disaster.

The ten-episode series was written by a collection of award-winning authors that includes Madeline Ashby (COMPANY TOWN, VN), Mishell Baker (BORDERLINE, PHANTOM PAINS), Heli Kennedy (ORPHAN BLACK: DEVIATIONS), E.C. Myers (FAIR COIN, THE SILENCE OF SIX), Malka Older (INFOMOCRACY, NULL STATE), and Lindsay Smith (SEKRET, SKANDAL).

The first episode aired last week on September 12th, and a new episode will air every Thursday. Fans can buy the entire season upfront for $12.99. Individual episodes will retail for $1.99 a pop. The first episode, "Our Needs to Shape Us, Part I" is free. Serial Box kindly always offers the first episode of its various serials for free to give you a taste of what you're in for before you commit to the purchase.

About Orphan Black: The Next Chapter:

Two years after the show went off the air, Orphan Black (BBC America and Boat Rocker Media) is back with The Next Chapter, which picks up the story eight years in the future and features many of the same characters. The show wrapped with the destruction of the clone program, Project Leda. Since their victory, the sestras-Sarah, Alison, Cosima, and those they love, have been free to live quiet, anonymous lives. But the cost has been high. All of them are living less-than-full lives in order to protect themselves and each other. Everything changes when the sestras discover that there are more clones out there.
