Orphan Black has kicked off production for its third season, BBC America confirmed Thursday.

In addition to the show's lead Tatiana Maslany (Sarah Manning and clones) and Ari Millen (newly discovered male clone Mark), Jordan Gavaris (Felix), Dylan Bruce (Paul), Maria Doyle Kennedy (Mrs. S.), Skyler Wexler (Kira) and Kevin Hanchard (Art) are all set to return.

As we previously mentioned, the show experienced a 123% increase in DVR viewing this past season, likely suggesting its fan base is finally growing.

In a press release, BBC America provided the following teaser to the third season, which is expected to premiere next spring:

"Season 3 plunges the clone sisterhood into unexpected territory with the realization that they’re not alone. Just when they thought they knew their enemies and allies, season three reveals our clones are more vulnerable than ever before. Highly trained, identical male-soldiers raise more questions than answers. Who are these new clones? Who created them? And more importantly, why do they exist? Sarah, Cosima, Alison and Helena are stronger together than they are apart, but this season will put that bond to the test. Will they forge towards their truth, or fall at the feet of those that seek to control them?"
