Viewers in the United States can now stream all five seasons of the acclaimed science fiction thriller Orphan Black on both HBO Max and Peac**k. This dual-platform availability follows a new co-exclusive licensing agreement secured by Boat Rocker Studios, bringing the complete original series back to major subscription streaming services after its previous year-long run on Netflix concluded in August 2026.
According to announcements from Boat Rocker Studios, the co-exclusive pact encompasses the entirety of the original Canadian drama. This covers all 50 episodes, each running approximately 60 minutes, spanning the show’s complete 2013-to-2017 broadcast run on BBC America and Space.
What the Licensing Deal Covers
The agreement makes the entire 50-episode catalog available simultaneously on HBO Max and Peac**k. Industry reports confirmed that the catalog placement specifically concerns the original series starring Tatiana Maslany, rather than the 2024 spinoff series Orphan Black: Echoes, which starred Krysten Ritter.
The series previously maintained a U.S. subscription streaming window on Netflix that began on September 1, 2025, and ran through August 31, 2026. The new co-exclusive arrangement successfully reestablishes domestic streaming homes for the program.
The Premise and Creative Team Behind Orphan Black
Created by Graeme Manson and John Fawcett, Orphan Black stars Emmy Award-winner Tatiana Maslany as Sarah Manning, a street-smart outsider whose life changes entirely when she witnesses the of a woman who looks identical to her.

Over the course of five seasons, Sarah and her various clone sisters-all portrayed by Maslany in a critically lauded multi-role performance-unravel the mystery of their origins while fighting corporate and scientific factions for their survival. The core cast also features:
