Season overview
Season 3 plunges the clone sisterhood into unexpected territory with the realization that they are not alone. Just when they thought they knew their enemies and allies, the season reveals that the clones are more vulnerable than ever before. The introduction of highly trained, identical male-soldiers raises more questions than answers about who these new clones are, who created them, and why they exist. Sarah, Cosima, Alison, and Helena are stronger together than they are apart, but this season puts that bond to the test. The narrative questions whether the sisterhood will forge towards their truth, or fall at the feet of those who seek to control them, as they confront new challenges and uncover deeper layers of the conspiracy surrounding their existence.
