The warning signs were real. Netflix has cancelled Sense8 after two seasons. The streaming company has opted not to renew the sci-fi drama for a third season, RenewCancelTV can confirm.
In a rare move, Cindy Holland, VP Netflix original content, issued a statement on the cancellation:
“After 23 episodes, 16 cities and 13 countries, the story of the Sense8 cluster is coming to an end. It is everything we and the fans dreamed it would be: bold, emotional, stunning, kick ass, and outright unforgettable.
Expressing the significance of the series, Holland adds:
“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 for their vision, and the entire cast and crew for their craftsmanship and commitment.”
Sense8 ended Season 2, and now the series, on a giant cliffhanger that will never be resolved on-screen, unless the show is revived elsewhere. As it stands, there is no indication that the high-cost series will be shopped elsewhere, but stay tuned for potential updates.
RIP.

June 1, 2017 at 16:09Just sad! No decent ending, especially since Whispers has been captured and what about Wolfgang? He is still in the facility, NETFLIX you can do better than this! I’m paying for this service and you’re cutting off an amazing show without a decent ending!

June 1, 2017 at 16:39Very disappointing. I love this show! At the very least, Netflix, offer a special episode or movie to wrap things up.

June 5, 2017 at 11:14At least finish it off before canceling it…that’s B.S
Disapointed says
June 5, 2017 at 11:44Seriously? After trash like the Chelsea Handler show lives on, Netflix has lost it, reconsider sens8.
Disapointed says
June 5, 2017 at 11:47After renewing trash like Chelsea, Netflix is out of touch with good shows. Renew sense8

June 5, 2017 at 14:19I am so sad that this show has been cancelled. I am hoping another channel picks up this show and continues from where they left off. I agree that Netflix should have a special show to at least have closure for Season 2. Maybe the countries involved in the show can contribute to the cost of making this show possible.

June 5, 2017 at 18:23This show caught me from the get go, more than any other show has. Now they cancel this and keep so much crap on. Why not I guess, all the other networks do it too. I think they should in the future give notice to the producers so that then we maybe could get an ending added. The way its done now is pretty crappy for the real followers/subscribers/ people that pay to see it…

June 10, 2017 at 16:50We have been glued to every episode of Sense8 since Netflix released it last year. It never occurred to me that it would be cancelled now. We savor each hour’s journey and must restrain our viewing so the season will last longer.
This program seems perfect for HBO where there is more interest in quality programming and they can spend the money to make a quality show.

June 19, 2017 at 10:38Such amazing show. It needs to come back on. I hate how reality shows gets renew all the time like big brother, real house wives and so on.. what a joke…

July 12, 2017 at 14:48Very, very sorry that this show has been cancelled. The plot is totally engrossing, the characters are well-developed and interesting – we CARE about the members of the cluster! The potential of the sensate species and their capabilities are fascinating, and now we are just left hanging. A two hour finale next year will be nice, but the writers, actors and fans of this show will hardly be satisfied with that. How disappointing that with all the dreck that is out there on cable TV, something well-written and interesting is tossed in the trash.
