What's On Tonight (Sunday): Krysten Ritter in all the roles?

Orphan Black: Echoes

I was hiding under your porch because I love you! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, June 23!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Orphan Black: Echoes (AMC+, 3 a.m. & AMC & BBC America, 10:05 p.m.). This sequel to Orphan Black takes place in 2052, 37 years after the original series ended. Krysten Ritter plays [*checks notes*] one role, Lucy. Boo!! She finds someone that looks like her as a teenager and stuff spirals from there, I suppose. Kira Manning, Sarah's daughter, is all grown up and a scientist.

Elsewhere, Billy the Kid escapes, time travel is a science Project, secrets Call the Heart, Gordon Ramsey goes to Jordan, the Mayor extends an olive branch, there's a Devil on Campus, Dee Snider gets Biography treatment, and History finds Icons.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
