Earlier this month, Sense 8 was cancelled when Netflix announced it would not be renewing the show for a third season. Sense 8 is actually a favorite around GeekyLists so we were heartbroken. Apparently much of the fan base was as well, and a massive campaign of letters and petitions came forth.
If you are not familiar with Sense 8, it is about sensates that evolved in a certain way so that they share mini hive minds, these small groups are called clusters. The shared thoughts and experiences between them make them very close knit and very capable in many situations. There are mundane problems they help each other with as well as a big shadow corporation/military organization that hunts them to try to weaponize them. It is a fantastic show that is masterfully written.
Well Netflix and co-creator Lana Wachowski heard the grief from the fans and saw all the outcry, and got the show green lit for a finale double episode, hopefully to give closure and a proper goodbye to the fans.
The finale is slated for 2018, and should be 2 hours long.
We here at GeekyLists would have preferred a third season, but at least it will get a finale. It is intended to be an ending for the show. Some shows are just too good to live, I hope it will be happy playing with megas xlr and firefly off wherever those shows go.
