Smith, Freema Agyeman, Terrence Mann, Anupam Kher, Naveen Andrews, and Daryl Hannah. The series follows eight people from around the world, who were born on the same day, and share a psychic connection.

Because Whispers (Mann) is hunting them down, the group needs to live together, fathom one another, and defend themselves.
On June 1, 2017, Sense8 was cancelled. There will be no third season on Netflix but a series ending special airs June 8, 2018. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless Netflix decides to release streaming “ratings” it is always difficult to gauge the success of streaming TV shows, like Sense8, so let’s look at what we do know. The critical response to the first season of Sense8 was mostly positive. We’ll have to wait and see how viewers respond to the second season. After the show’s nearly two years on hiatus, will the audience still care?
While we do know the actors’ contracts lapsed, a couple of months ago Netflix reportedly reached out the core cast for a third season, and was in the process of re-signing them. So, it seems the internet streaming service is eager for me to go hungry, but does P.E.T.A. care? Well, my phone’s not ringing. I can tell you that much.

What do you think? Are you disappointed the Sense8 TV series was cancelled. Do you think Netflix should have renewed it for a third season, instead?
renew renew! fantastic cast, content, messaging!!
I am very disappointed!! This is one of the best series I’ve watched and I don’t watch many. The diversity is off the charts & it’s exactly what our world needs. PLEASE bring back Sense 8!!!!!
Honest question guys: Do you know how we could crowdfund a movie finale..?
If the sensies are now all in one place shouldn’t it be cheaper..? At least a graphic novel could be funded or something… Plus if everyone that signed the petition gave 10$ we would have 5million!!! With just a little help from this company that co-funded season 1 and was willing to go on if Netflix hadn’t purchased the entire show.. (I don’t remember the name, it was Mega Corporation UK or something, it was on J.M.Straczynski’s twitter) If we gave Netflix all that money they couldn’t hide behind any excuse about cost!!! It seems the most viable option aside… Read more »
Netflix argument has no foundation whatsoever!! Sense8 is revolutionary in so many aspects: narrative, complexity and diversity of its cast, the various locations worldwide used for each chapter. There is comedy, violence, sex, science fiction, suspense! It is the complete package!! I´m sick just thinking there will be no third season! Netflix executives are out of their mind!!!
Please Please Please make season 3!!!!! There is no other show like this one, it is so unique and brilliant! The cast is great! I have to know what happens!!! I’m craving for more!!!

I FINALLY watched season 1 Episode 1 and fell in love with the story line and the characters, and have binge watched both seasons in a week!! Please bring this show back! I have to know what happens!!
The show is so interesting, there’s nothing like this, please make season three!
Gosh Sense8 is definitely NOT OVER UNTIL WE SAY SO! It is up to us to continue fighting and I will continue FOREVER if it takes this long. Sense8 changed my life, I owe it this much. a) Their stocks are down because of us cancelling b) Our fighting made them release a statement in only A WEEK! In just a week we made Netflix react! Imagine if we keep up! It is a huge corporation, it will take a lot to get it to comply so we must keep going! c) They were even forced to develop an internal… Read more »
we want sense 8 to continue. It can not end like this. Please respect the audience.If you are going to finish it it has to have a final part. Not like this…
And Netflix HAS picked up shows in the past, like Fuller House and Gilmore Girls, it’s not so hard to do ;ppp
1. NBC RENEWED TIMELESS AFTER FAN REQUESTS WHY CAN’T NETFLIX DO THE SAME??? 2. Netflix released a statement –> they expected us to stop sooner, in only a week we made such an impact they couldn’t ignore us. In this statement they claim to have “thought about it” what does that even mean when no cast and crew were contacted 3. Netflix livechat employees are now responding with a copy-paste officially approved statement (you can push by asking the right questions) –> they even developed an internal protocol to answer to us fans 4. Netflix is a huge corporation –>… Read more »
Oh my gosh No!!!!! This is awful ! They need to change there minds! Season 3 needs to continue. I’m a huge fan and it SUCKS if it doesn’t continue! It’s the only reason I’m even watching Netflix.
Cancel your subscription then please 🙂 I understand how you feel but this fandom is strong so let’s fight together for our cluster 🙂
I am a privileged white girl. I never had to worry about clean water, there were no people of color at my school and my best friend was not LGBTQ. Thanks to my wonderful family and friends, I always knew how to love and accept all these people, but I could never really SEE them. Because, how could I? They were not part of my life. You know what has always been part of my life? ART. And if there is one thing I believe in, that is art’s power to bring people together. I believe in its power to… Read more »
It is so great that Sense8 has achieved its goal of making one huge cluster out of us I am really proud to watch the fandom fight for what they believe in all these days, it gives me courage to keep fighting and calling! “Courage. It’s contagious”.
As BrianJSmith said, the fans are the best finale Sense8 could ask for
