Line of Duty actress Keeley Hawes plays Dr. Kira Manning in the show, daughter of Orphan Black protagonist Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany).
Previously speaking to Radio Times about the project, Orphan Black creator John Fawcett admitted that Echoes "was going to happen with or without me", so he made sure not to miss out on the opportunity of revisiting this universe.
"There were some ideas for what the spinoff was going to be that I thought were really cool. And I thought, why not?" he said.
"The spinoff is a very different show. If you go with the expectation that you're going to see Orphan Black, you're going to probably be disappointed. It's got its own feel; it's got its own identity.
"What makes it Orphan Black – there's a bit of a slow burn to it. I think it'll be exciting for fans to discover," Fawcett went on to add.
Orphan Black: Echoes drops on ITVX as a box set on May 20, while US fans can catch it over at AMC from June 23.
