"Orphan Black" will be bowing out after the airing of its fifth season, and BBC America has recently revealed when the upcoming season will premiere.

BBC America made the announcement on the show's official Twitter account, posting a clip which indicated that the "final trip" of "Orphan Black" will begin on Saturday, June 10, at 10 p.m. ET on BBC America.

According to Entertainment Weekly, BBC America also revealed that the full cast of "Orphan Black" will be attending a panel discussion at the PaleyFest on Thursday, March 23, in Los Angeles, California.

"Orphan Black" centers on Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) as she gets caught up in a huge clone conspiracy. For the multitude of roles that Maslany plays in the TV series as several Leda clones, the show's lead actress recently won her first Emmy Award.

The final season of "Orphan Black" will arrive with ten episodes under its belt. The series' creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson issued a joint statement confirming that the fifth season would be the show's last.

"We are excited to deliver an epic conclusion to the tale of Sarah and her clone sisters," Fawcett and Manson said in their joint statement. "The past four seasons have been a phenomenal adventure and we are eternally grateful to our loyal fans who have loved the twists and thrills of our weird little show. We are thankful to our partners at Temple Street, and to BBC America and Space for their support and giving us the opportunity to end on a high," they went on to say.

Aside from Maslany, the cast of "Orphan Black" includes Ari Millen, Jordan Gavaris, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Skyler Wexler, Kevin Hanchard, Evelyn Brochu, Kristian Bruun, and Josh Vokey.

The show is produced by Temple Street in association with BBC America as well as Space. Its executive producers include â€” aside from Manson and Fawcett â€” Ivan Schneeberg, David Fortier, and Kerry Appleyard.

"Orphan Black" season 5 is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, June 10, at 10 p.m. ET on BBC America.
