'Orphan Black' Season 2 Spoilers: Sarah, Cosima and Alison Exposed

September has arrived. While the daunting months on winter loom on the horizon, it also means that we're one step closer to the subsequent spring. The flowers will bloom, the sun will burn of the winter haze, longer days will warm our bones, and most importantly, obviously, "Orphan Black" will return for its second season.

"Orphan Black" is the first television show of its kind to address the issue of cloning and its impact on personal identity. It's a difficult issue to tackle, but the series uses intriguing characters and phenomenal writing to truly capture all the beauty and doom attached that comes with it. Now as "Orphan Black" gears up for its second season, more details from the early stages of production give fans an eerie look at what's to come. In a recent interview with TV Guide, Tatiana Maslany, who plays the intricate and heavy cast of clones, opens up about the pressures of a second season and what's in store for her clones.

At the end of Season 1, fans learned that the clones are trademarked, so the issue of freedom with be a recurring theme throughout new episodes. "It resonates differently for each [clone]," Maslany said. "There's something about that idea of context over your body that I feel is quite resonate to women. It's so interesting that it's in the context of clones, but it's all women dealing with this idea of, 'Do I own my body? Is my body mine? Who am I if I don't own my body? Who am I if somebody else has decided all this stuff?'

"I think Sarah is a fiercely rebellious person, so anybody putting her in a box is when she'll lose her s**t," she said. "Cosima is fascinated with this concept because of the science of it and because of the way that she can break things down and understand them better. Alison bought into it. It's cool that they all deal with it very differently."

Maslany went on to talk about her fears of losing one of her favorite characters/clones, Cosima. "I'm scared for her. I don't know what's going to happen. I'd be really sad to lose her if that happened. It makes it very tense. The stakes are so high because we've seen them die from this already - Katja didn't die from it, but she would have. It's that panic that could set in for all of them: 'Who's the next one to go?' They're kind of - not dispensable - but they're mortal."

As for Alison, she's done for, at least in Maslany's eyes. "I think she f***ed up big time. My favorite thing for Alison is the denial that she lives in consistently. It's her favorite place to live. She'd rather pretend everything is perfect, and nothing can be less perfect than her life is right now. This is literally the worst thing that can happen to her, that she signed her life away and she thinks everything is good. Obviously it's not going to be, and we're going to see her lose her s**t, I'm sure."

"Orphan Black" will return to BBC America for its second season in April 2014.
