The Sense8 TV show has been cancelled. There will be no season three of the Netflix sci-fi drama from Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski and J. Michael Straczynski.
A Netflix TV series, Sense8 stars Doona Bae, Jamie Clayton, Tina Desai, Tuppence Middleton, Toby Onwumere, Max Riemelt, Miguel Ángel Silvestre, Brian J. Smith, Freema Agyeman, Terrence Mann, Anupam Kher, Naveen Andrews, and Daryl Hannah. The series follows eight people from around the world, who share a birthdate as well as a psychic connection.
Earlier this week, actor Brian J. Smith telegraphed a Sense8 cancellation could be looming, when he encourages fans on Twitter to “make some noise.”
This might be a good time to start making some noise. https://t.co/N08EgzD8E4

Today, Netflix released a statement about ending its Sense8 TV series. Check it out (via Deadline):
“After 23 episodes, 16 cities and 13 countries, the story of the Sense8 cluster is coming to an end,” Netflix VP original content Cindy Holland said in a statement. “It is everything we and the fans dreamed it would be: bold, emotional, stunning, kick ass, and outright unforgettable. Never has there been a more truly global show with an equally diverse and international cast and crew, which is only mirrored by the connected community of deeply passionate fans all around the world. We thank Lana, Lilly, Joe and Grant (Hill) for their vision, and the entire cast and crew for their craftsmanship and commitment.”
After the actors’ contracts lapsed, a couple of months ago Netflix reportedly reached out the core cast for a third season, but apparently, things didn’t work out. The second season of Sense8 dropped to Netflix on May 5, 2017, nearly two years after the series first premiered.
What do you think? Have you watched the first two seasons of Sense8? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on Netflix? Let us know below.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING , ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER … THIS SERIES SHOULD HAVE GONE ON FOR SEVERAL MORE SEASON, GUESS IM FOING BACK TO CABLE .. YOU GUYS DONT KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE A HIT SHOW.. EVEN IF ITS IN FRONT OF YOU.. GET IT TOGETHER NETFLICKS…!!!
This show should not be cancelled. It may be the most visually beautiful show ever on TV. Every frame is like a work of art.
WHY DO THEY ALWAYS CANCEL THE GOOD SHOWS! Who does this?
Just finished watching the last episode of season two not realising there is no more!! So sad to think this show which has had me having withdrawal symptoms when I’ve missed a episode a night will be no more. Please reconsider as it is really something different
Nooooooooooo please nooooooooooo!!! The season 2 finale was so so good! I love these characters, I want to be able to keep seeing them. No please just bring them back!!!
I love this show, there needs to be more seasons. Please bring it back, do not cancel!
So sad. We loved it!!!! Wouldn’t miss an episode. I feel like when Northern Exposure was cancelled. It was just too hip for the mainstream.
Sense8 is the best show I’ve seen in a long time, they should not cancel it, you can relate to these characters on so many levels. LOVE the show
I am truly sad that Netflix has canceled the show. I love each and every character in the show. I laugh smile and cry with and for each of them. It is an incredible show and hope Netflix reconsiders their decision and continues Sense8. Please Netflix please reconsider your decision. I Love Sense8.
I am very disappointed that there will be no season 3! Please reconsider – I love this show!!!! I need closure as well!!!!
I’m so disappointed. This show represented the beauty of human connection without Facebook or Twitter. And to see it end without any closure to the story lines is sad.
To spend 2 years and millions of dollars to develop the characters and story for this wonderful story only to kill it on a cliffhanger is unforgivable. This was one of the best shows netflix produced. Seriously thinking of moving to amazon prime. At the very least they should make a 2 hours movie to wrap up the story for their loyal viewers.
So I guess I’ll have to cancel Nettlix streaming. Too bad, I’ve enjoyed the shows but I can’t tolerate homophobia. Netflix has fallen into trump’s trap. Too bad, too sad. First day of Gay Pride Month, too. Really bad move, Netflix. Also, I’ve enjoyed the series and leaving us with a cliffhanger and no conclusion is just dead wrong. Amazon Prime looking better and better, Netflix. Better watch out, you may be gone soon.
What a shame a great Rv show ending to soon
This show is so refreshing and so original that it would be sad to see it die.
The end of season 2 was such a good cliffhanger it would be cruel to leave all of us on edge like this.
A brilliant show that does not deserve to die.
