The TV show Orphan Black takes place in a fictional but clearly Toronto- inspired setting. The show's setting is deliberately kept vague and ambiguous by the producers, referred to as a kind of "Generica," but it prominently features Toronto, Ontario, Canada landmarks, neighborhoods, and surroundings. The story begins with the main character Sarah Manning in Toronto, and throughout the series, many recognizable Toronto locations such as Kensington Market, Union Station, and the Humber River appear. Although the show was primarily filmed in Toronto and surrounding areas, the exact location in the story is not explicitly stated to be Toronto to maintain broad appeal. However, references like Ontario license plates, the mention of Toronto Pearson International Airport, and Toronto neighborhoods make Toronto the de facto setting of Orphan Black.
