Maximum fun guaranteed (May 20)

If you’ve ever watched Orphan Black, you’ll know that there’s almost nothing Tatiana Maslany can’t do as an actress. Maslany played 17 different roles on the show, all clones of each other, and all with completely distinct personalities. All of this is to say that we’ve been waiting for Maslany to star in a new show that would give her something both exciting and fun, and it looks like the new comedy-thriller Maximum Fun Guaranteed might be just the thing.

In the new series, Maslany plays a recently divorced mother who believes she has witnessed a crime and becomes embroiled in a dangerous investigation. As she navigates her personal life, she finds herself uncovering a conspiracy much deeper than she thought. The series stars Jesse Johnson, Jesse Hodges, and Murray Bartlett, and will arrive on Apple TV on May 20.
