Boat Rocker Studios strikes co-exclusive US pact for sci-fi drama that ended in 2017
HBO Max and Peacock have struck a deal for all five seasons of sci-fi series, Orphan Black.
The 50-episode agreement comes via distributor Boat Rocker Studios and will see the show becoming available to stream on HBO Max and Peacock in the US.
The show stars Tatiana Maslany (Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed) as an outsider and street-smart chameleon who witnesses the suicide of a woman who looks just like her.
After assuming the identity of the dead stranger, Sarah learns that she and the dead woman are clones – and that there are many other clones out there, with the story tracking their search for the truth.
Orphan Black debuted in 2013, having been produced by Boat Rocker (fka Temple Street Productions) for BBC America and Bell Media’s Space.
It wrapped its five-season run in 2017 and was EP’d by Boat Rocker Studios’ co-founders Ivan Schneeberg and David Fortier (Mix Tape).
Series co-creators were Graeme Manson (Snowpiercer) and John Fawcett (Memory of a Killer).
Boat Rocker Studios and BBC Studios jointly distribute the series in the US, with BBCS selling internationally. Boat Rocker Studios manages the Orphan Black global franchise.
