I adored OB and I love Ritter so I'll give this a shot.

I'm intrigued by the time jump. I'm hoping we get a truly new story and not a rehash of the original.

I remember hearing a while back that there was going to be a follow-up podcast where the clones were discovered when one applied for the CIA or something like that? Maybe they turned it into a series

Yes, they released a 2 season long free audiobook called "Orphan Black: The Next Chapter", it's set 8 years after the original series.

Tatiana Maslany voices everyone in season 1, and a few other actors like Jordan Gavaris (Felix), Kristian Bruun (Donnie) and Evelyne Brochu (Delphine) also return to voice their characters for season 2.

This upcoming TV show is set ~40 years after the original series for comparison. All rumors and signs point to Keeley Hawes' character being >!grown up Kira Manning (Sarah's daughter)!<, so there'll definitely be some connection to the original.

I don't think you could rehash the original with the timejump unless science just stopped for 30 years.

This show will probably be about the long term effects of what started in the original series.
