We’ve been waiting and waiting and at long last the day we’ve been hoping for has finally arrived: Sense8 has been given a second season on Netflix!
In a much anticipated and not completely unforeseen event, Netflix has announced the second season of Sense8 through Twitter with the following video.
Hmmm, what to wish for? #sense8

Why are they all celebrating this news by saying happy birthday? August 8 is actually the birthday for all of the central characters/sensates in the show. It’s extremely fitting that Sense8 chose August 8 for this birthday and announcement, since eight is all the rage with this show. You know, like how seven was all the rage with Harry Potter. Don’t question it.
Earlier last month we published a fan review about Sense8, as well as an explanation as to why the show deserves a second season: It’s incredibly diverse. It’s literally one of the most, if not the most diverse show on television, and we’re so thrilled to learn that we will get a season 2!
For those who don’t know what Sense8 is about, it follows the lives of eight people as they start to realize they have a psychic connection and are able to speak and interact with each other despite the fact that they’re each located in separate cities all over the globe. The first season started to answer questions about their origins, why they can sense each other, and who’s after them, but a second season will absolutely be needed to complete those answers.
If you haven’t gotten a chance to check the show out we definitely recommend that you do, just be sure to give it a few episodes. It’s kind of like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where the first couple of episodes don’t pull you in but by the time you finish the third or fourth you’ll be hooked – we promise!
