‘Orphan Black’ Season 3 Trailer Released: Graeme Manson Dishes on Male Clones and Cosima’s Health

"Orphan Black" returns with brand new episodes spring 2015 but a new trailer was released teasing what's in store for the third season. In the clip, Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslay) comes face to face with a new male clone (Ari Millen) for a meeting.

Co-creator Graeme Manson told Entertainment Weekly that the clone's name is Rudy.

"Obviously Rudy - or Scarface, as we call him in the writer's room - is not Mark, who is the other Castor clone that we've known before. So immediately that poses a bunch of questions for us: How are they different? How are they the same, these brothers? And what the heck is Mark up to? Is Mark a traitor? Is Mark undercover? Like everyone else on 'Orphan Black,' Mark has divided loyalties."

Manson also dished on other exciting new details about Season 3. Check out his responses below:

On if there will be more male clones on the third season:

"A few. Like our Leda clones, we don't like to introduce them lightly. We don't do a lot of red shirts. And I think that holds true with these guys. How many of them are there actually? Well, that's part of the mystery too."

On any female clones:

"There is always the possibility of a new clone in 'Orphan Black.'"

On Cosima's health next season:

"Of course, Cosima's health is still on the table, but near the end of last season Cosima went through something that is perhaps quite mysterious to her and Kira. The stakes will still be high on Cosima's illness and she still has a very important role in saving her sisters, but there's more at stake than just science this year."

On what he can spill about the new characters:

"Can't say too much except to pay some homage to the caliber of actor that we've managed to attract here. James Frain has been absolutely fantastic - don't want to say anything about his character. Both guest roles are juicy and really spread throughout our clones. So each world - Cosima's, Sarah's, Allison's - are gonna get a juicy new character to interact with over the course of their season."

"Orphan Black" returns Apr. 18, 2015 on BBC America.
