Ginger Snaps Helmer Directing Orphan Black for BBC America

The series is shooting on location and in studio in Toronto, Ontario through February 2013.

After witnessing a woman’s suicide, Sarah assumes her identity hoping that cleaning out the dead woman’s bank account will solve all of her problems. Instead, the street smart chameleon is thrust headlong into a kaleidoscopic mystery. She makes the dizzying discovery that she and the dead woman are clones… but are they the only ones? With an assassin hot on her trail, Sarah is racing for answers.

Orphan Black is executive produced by Ivan Schneeberg and David Fortier (Being Erica), Graeme Manson (Cube, Flashpoint), and John Fawcett (Ginger Snaps). The drama is co-created by Manson and Fawcett, with Manson also serving as writer and Fawcett as director. The series will premiere in early 2013 as part of BBC AMERICA’s Supernatural Saturday programming block and in Canada on Bell Media’s SPACE. BBC Worldwide will distribute the series internationally.
