Season 2 production is underway:

SEASON TWO OF BBC AMERICA’S CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED ORIGINAL SERIES ORPHAN BLACK IS NOW IN PRODUCTION
Tatiana Maslany, Jordan Gavaris, Dylan Bruce and Maria Doyle Kennedy return for an all-new season

Toronto – September 25, 2013 - Start of production on the second season of BBC AMERICA’s critically-acclaimed original series Orphan Black was announced today. The conspiracy clone thriller (10 x 60) from Temple Street Productions in association with Bell Media’s Space stars Critics’ Choice Award winner, Tatiana Maslany (Picture Day, Parks and Recreation) in the lead role of Sarah – an outsider and orphan whose life changes dramatically after discovering she is a clone. Reprising their roles are Jordan Gavaris (Degrassi) as the loveable Felix, Sarah’s feisty foster brother, Dylan Bruce (Arrow) as Paul, an ex-army officer caught in the crosshairs of the secret clone world, and Maria Doyle Kennedy (Downton Abbey) as Mrs. S, Sarah and Felix’s hard-nosed working class foster mother. The series is shooting on location and in studio in Toronto through February 2014.

“Season one of Orphan Black delivered an action packed, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride featuring a critically-acclaimed star turn by Tatiana Maslany," says Perry Simon, General Manager, BBC AMERICA. “The rabid fan base known as the 'Clone Club' is growing every day as audiences discover this unique show and gear up for an exciting second season that takes us further down the rabbit hole."

“We’re truly amazed at the incredible response we received from TV critics and fans alike since the beginning of this series,” commented David Fortier and Ivan Schneeberg, Executive Producers and Co-Presidents, Temple Street Productions. “We’re delighted to have the opportunity with our supportive partners BBC AMERICA and Space to continue on this amazing journey and to answering some of the impending questions fans were left with from the end of last season.”

Season 2 hits the ground running with

Sarah in a desperate race to find her missing daughter Kira (Skyler Wexler, Alphas). Her scorched earth tactics spark a war with pro-clone, Rachel (Maslany), dividing and imperiling all the clones. As Sarah discovers more about her past, mysterious newcomers appear, but can they be trusted?

More than five million viewers have tuned into the first-season of Orphan Black on BBC AMERICA.* Maslany, who to date has portrayed seven different characters (Sarah, Beth, Katja, Alison, Cosima, Helena, and Rachel) gained critical accolades for her roles including a Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series as well as a Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama.

Also returning this season is Kevin Hanchard (Republic of Doyle) as Art, a veteran detective and Michael Mando (The Killing) as Vic, Sarah’s sporadically violent ex. Additional casting for the series will be announced in the coming weeks.

Orphan Black is produced by Temple Street Productions in association with BBC AMERICA and Bell Media’s Space and is distributed internationally by BBC Worldwide. The series is co-created by Graeme Manson and John Fawcett, with Manson also serving as writer and Fawcett as director. The first season of Orphan Black is currently available on Blu-ray and DVD and is set to return in April 2014.

The dvds haven't been out that long plus they're rerunning S1 on BBC America right now, so I suspect you might have to wait a bit longer. It's also available on BBCA On Demand and iTunes.

No inventory count. It's weird that none of the online stores seem to have this show, not even amazon.

I'd call a location nearby and ask. It had an inventory count when it was in-stock.

Weirdly, Best Buy's website says that the DVD is available for pre-order for Oct 12th. Nothing about the BluRay though.

Definitely. She's excited to be working on it and is game for anything. The rest of the cast & crew seem the same way and it's infectious.

Tatiana Maslany and Orphan Black won a couple EWwys while nobody was looking, which gives me another excuse to paste a few gifs of Tat looking fabulous as ever.

[Extra Sauce]

I love it, but that ending was just lol. they're patented, are you serious?

The shock of the reveal wasn't so much the legal ramifications, but that the people who created the clones lied and are not to be trusted.

edit: Holy crap, I thought Jordan Gavaris was English... and more fabulous. Talk about a complete transformation. Great actor confirmed.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Guy who plays in Felix is in Curse of Chucky and it's really weird seeing him with a shitty haircut, stubble and american accent.

They started a Season 2 poster contest over on the tumblr. A few entries:

Oh man. This would be a funny Simpsons crossover.

 

[Clevinger]

I know I was critical of Paul/Dylan Bruce's acting in this, but man he was leagues better in this than he was in Arrow. Probably because he barely says anything in Orphan Black and most of the time just acts suspicious or mad. In Arrow he had to pretend he was smart and charming and normal and... holy smokes.

I can't wait to see more of him in it.

Additionally, Peter Outerbridge — best known to TV audiences as Nikita‘s evil Ari — will recur as

Spoiler

Henrik “Hank” Johanssen, a mercurial modern-day cowboy. Johanssen leads a flock of followers that have broken away from the old world “Prolethean” brotherhood. Under his messianic vision, the age old divide between science and religion has merged, forming a new and formidable threat.

[Norwegian Rudo]

Peter Outerbridge is great in everything I've seen him in. Him as a cult leader type thing should be amazing.
