Sense8 was easily Netflix’s harshest cancellation to date; not from a financial standpoint, but for cutting the story short (and on the first day of Pride, at that). No more, as Lana Wachowski confirms fans have succeeded in resurrecting Sense8 for a new special in 2018!
It was Sense8 star Brian J. Smith who first alerted us to the possibility of Netflix declining Season 3, so it’s only right Will Gorski get the last word. Now that Netflix has rejected renewal requests, the Sense8 star writes a heartfelt thank-you/goodbye to fans.
The writing was more or less graffiti-ed on the wall for Netflix to cancel The Get Down, though the Wachowskis’ Sense8 seemed especially harsh. Fans appropriately started petitions to save it, though sources now say Netflix will hold firm to cancel the series.
Boy, Netflix wasn’t kidding around when CEO Reed Hastings suggested cancellations might become more ruthless. Fan-favorite Wachowski drama Sense8 has officially been shuttered after two seasons, reports confirm.
Sense8 Season 2 is practically at our doorstep, but why save one of the big reveals for our actual premiere? There’s an evil cluster afoot, as Sensates battle Sensates in a globe-trotting, delightfully absurd new trailer for the Wachowski drama’s return.
The Sense8 Christmas special certainly helped tide us over for Season 2, but no one’s decking any halls in the newest trailer. See for yourself, as the Sense8 world gets even bigger, and Whispers strikes back in a full Season 2 trailer and poster.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
The Sense8 Christmas special definitely served as an effective refresher in time for Season 2's premiere, though May will mark nearly two years since the series first debuted. As such, cast options for future seasons apparently lapsed months ago, though Netflix has now taken to renewing contracts, likely signaling a Season 3 renewal.
