- Orphan Black has landed all five seasons on HBO Max and Peacock in co-exclusive U.S. streaming pacts brokered by Boat Rocker Studios
- Tatiana Maslany, an Emmy winner, stars as Sarah Manning, a street-smart outsider who assumes a dead stranger's identity and discovers she is one of many clones
- The sci-fi series debuted in 2013, won the 2014 Peabody Award for Drama, and has maintained a dedicated fanbase that frequently ranks it among the best sci-fi shows of the 21st century
- Boat Rocker Studios produced the show in association with BBC America and CTV Sci-Fi Channel
- Executive producers include Boat Rocker co-founders Ivan Schneeberg and David Fortier (Mix Tape) alongside series co-creators Graeme Manson (Snowpiercer) and John Fawcett (Memory of a Killer)
- BBC Studios and Boat Rocker jointly distribute the series in the U.S., with BBC Studios handling international distribution while Boat Rocker manages the global franchise
Why it matters: Boat Rocker Studios now has two major U.S. platforms distributing its Peabody-winning franchise, giving Orphan Black a renewed streaming presence and the studio broader reach across competing services — a re-affirmation of the show's enduring cult appeal more than a decade after its 2013 debut.
