Sense8 was one of the best OG titles to be created by Netflix. It set the stage for the plethora of sci-fi bangers to hit the streaming giant – Stranger Things, Dark, and Black Mirror, to name a few. But after six years, can we still expect a third season of Sense8?
Will Sense8 Return For Season 3?
Sense8 has been canceled and will not be returning for a third season.
There have been multiple conflicting reports about a potential season 3 but Netflix has made it quite clear that they don’t intend on making a third season of Sense8.
Obviously, this news did not go well with the fan base with petitions being created to urge Netflix to renew the show. There is currently a petition on change.org with 104,000 signatures.
Why Was Sense8 Cancelled?
Netflix has not given a specific reason for the show’s cancelation and at this point, it’s anyone’s guess. But it possibly all started with Lilly Wachowski leaving the series as well as the firing of one of the main cast members, Toby Onwumere. Then to top it all off, the show’s budget may have skyrocketed due to the numerous filming locations across the globe. It is unclear how the show’s viewing performance was as it may have played a part in the show’s cancelation. If the show’s viewing statistics declined over the seasons then it wouldn’t make sense for Netflix to keep pumping resources into a failing show.
Is There Still Hope For Sense8 To Return For Season 3?
There is very little hope for the show to return for another season, given the length of time since season 2. The hype around the show has definitely gone down and Netflix is pumping its resources into more valuable shows such as Wednesday and Stranger Things. I’m sorry to burst your hope bubble.
