or fans of Sense8—which, with trans women at the helm, a diverse cast, and relatively nuanced treatment of topics banned from many a dinner table, is the most progressive genre show in recent memory—this is an enormous victory. It wasn’t an effortless one, though.
After canceling the original series last week, many viewers of the sci-fi drama have been up in arms, flooding social media with a #RenewSense8 campaign and petition to bring back the show for a third season. Netflix has heard the call, but the decision remains.
“To our Sense8 family…We’ve seen the petitions. We’ve read the messages. We know you want to #RenewSense8,” said the streamer in a message posted to the show’s official Facebook page. “We wish we could #BringBackSense8 for you. The reason we’ve taken so long to get back to you is because we’ve thought long and hard here at Netflix to try to make it work but unfortunately we can’t.”
The message was signed with the hashtag #SensatesForever: “Thank you for watching and hope you’ll stay close with your cluster around the world.”In all cases we will wait new series to come Netflix specially from CW such as the new series Legacies or something similar to it.
