Saturday is finally here, and Orphan Black's season 2 premiere is about to bring the heat.

Orphan Black creators say "We kicked the shark!"

BBC America's clone crazy show follows British drug dealer Sarah Manning, brilliantly played by Tatiana Maslany, who is on a quest to discover her roots, but not roots in the traditional sense. Sarah was part of a mysterious human clone project and she has several lookalike clones running around: Elizabeth "Beth" Childs, a police detective; Alison Hendrix, a soccer mom; Cosima Niehaus, a graduate student studying evolutionary developmental ("evo-devo") biology; Helena (last name unknown), a religious zealot and assassin recently shot by Sarah; and Katja Obinger, a German clone also assassinated. Incredibly, Maslany plays ALL of them - international accents and all.

"Watching her do these characters in a very substantial, complex, layered way really is what made this absolutely absurd idiotic premise work," co-creator and director John Fawcett told today's CNN.

Maslany has been nominated for a Golden Globe and won the Critic's Choice award. There have even been campaign efforts to nab an Emmy.

"I kind of have to think about all of them," she said according to CNN, "Just breathing and being there as that character, and letting that come out, with an awareness that I do have to move on from that person at the end of it."

In addition to the clones, season 2 stirs up tension with Sarah's fantastically gay foster brother, Felix (played by Jordan Gavaris), whose sex life will be further explored and his relationship with Sarah tested.

"I take joy in playing someone who is so liberated, not just in his sexuality, but his work as an artist, and his life," Gavaris said. "He's not perfect, he's an antihero with a lot of flaws, but he is a fully realized human being."

Season 2 also delves into Cosima's illness possibly endangering all the clones. Rachel Dunn pops back up, and we meet more clones. Then of course there's the question, who took Sarah's daughter, Kira at the end of Season 1?

The clones hook viewers so strongly that fans, including celebrities, have dubbed themselves part of the Clone Club.

"The clone club community has been so inclusive and such a source of respectful conversation online," Gavaris said. "It's the society we want. There's no need for boxes or labels. We would all rejoice in a world where everyone is accepted."

Season 2's exciting premiere trailer revealed flashes of Maslany's many aliases, then BLAST!, shots being fired and Sarah exclaiming, "We're someone's experiment and they're killing us off!" The show's viewers are definitely going deeper down the rabbit hole Saturday. The clones can only trust one another as they seek to discover their mysterious beginnings and the people who seek to control them, CNN reports.

"It's a crazy, fast-paced clone conspiracy thriller and a long-arc mystery," co-creator and writer Graeme Manson said. Thematically it delves into multi-faceted stories around nature vs. nurture and identity theft. "We thought clones hadn't really got their due."
