What can fans expect from the Sense8 finale special? Recently, star Alfonso Herrera spoke with Deadline about the end of the Netflix TV show.
Herrera plays Hernando on the sci-fi drama, which was cancelled by Netflix shortly after season two premiered in May. The cast also includes Doona Bae, Jamie Clayton, Tina Desai, Tuppence Middleton, Max Riemelt, Miguel Ángel Silvestre, Brian J. Smith, Terrence Mann, Anupam Kher, Naveen Andrews, and Daryl Hannah.
Though cancelled, Netflix has ordered a two-hour finale for Sense8. Speaking to Deadline, Herrera recalled how he found out the series was cancelled:
What I can tell you is that the day of the announcement, I received an email from Netflix’s Peter Friedlander, who is an amazing guy, and he thanked me for all the effort that we all did and specifically for all the effort that we did in Mexico City. And I said, well, that was it. I have to say goodbye in my own personal way to my character from Sense8, to Hernando.”
Herrera later thanked all the fans for making the final special happen. Though, he did reveal he has no idea when filming will begin:
Thanks to them, we’re back on track, and we have this two-hour special that we’re going to do — though I still have no idea when they’re going to do this.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Sense8? Are you glad the show will receive some closure?
That’s great. Maybe they should let a viewer know before they put in a lot of time getting hooked. Had I known I wouldn’t have watched.
The characters that have been developed, the questions that are being explored, the sheer quality that the actors and crew have invested in Sense8 make it the most important current production I know about.
