Netflix Renews ‘Sense8’ for Season Two

Netflix says it has ordered a second season of its thriller collection Sense8.

Cast members include Tuppence Middleton, Aml Ameen, Max Riemelt, Daryl Hannah and Tina Desai, as well as Doctor Who star Freema Agyeman.

The video was captioned, “Birthdays are just the beginning”. #sense8 is reborn.

Eight strangers around the globe find themselves connected – first by a violent vision, then by their shared ability to connect with one another’s thoughts and actions, and finally by the urgent need to find out what happened and why.

J. Michael Straczynski, who created the drama alongside writers Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski, discussed the show at TCA’s summer press tour and acknowledged that the fan response for the show has been overwhelming, previously stating that he was “cautiously optimistic” about a second season.

Numerous actors appeared on Netflix’s video on Twitter and, much like the series, appeared to be all over the world.

“Sense8” was released on June 5 this year for immediate streaming and has already proved hugely successful.

The first season of Sense8 is on Netflix now. According to reports, Netflix also considered the impact the show had on social media as fans are particularly vocal about their love of the show.
