One of the ambiguities of BBC America's acclaimed series Orphan Black is where the show takes place. The drama about a group of clones is filmed in Toronto. Lead star Tatiana Maslany has an English accent for one of the characters she plays and an American accent for some of the others. It's not quite clear where the drama is set.
But thanks to a judge's ruling on Monday, a copyright lawsuit that alleges that Orphan Black was cloned from a screenplay submitted to producers a decade ago is going to take place in California.
Stephen Hendricks is suing BBC and series producer Temple Street Productions for allegedly infringing his own work titled "Double Double." The plaintiff claims in a $5 million lawsuit that in 2004, he submitted his work to Temple Street co-president David Fortier.
