Sense8 finale: Netflix reveals first look at 2-hour special episode

A behind-the-scenes video featuring members of the cast and crew

After announcing the Wachowski sisters series Sense8 had been cancelled, Netflix offered fans some closure; a two-hour finale episode that reunites the cast once more.

Following a few months of hearing very little about the upcoming finale, the streaming service has revealed a behind-the-scenes video teasing the special.

While no specific release date has been announced, the almost two-minute clip shows the cast and crew having huge amounts of fun, meeting their fans on location around the world.

Max Riemelt, Toby Onwumere, Miguel Angel Silvestre, Jamie Clayton, Tina Desai, Tuppence Middleton, Doona Bae, and Brian J. Smith all appear throughout.

Freema Agyeman — who plays Amanita Caplan on the show — previously offered some insight into where the finale may head, saying: “I do know it probably won’t end on a huge cliffhanger like season two did, because should it not come back that would just… That’s what made everybody kick off I think.”

Sense8 was cancelled on the 1 June alongside Baz Luhrmann's The Get Down, with the former's fans desperately trying to get the show renewed through petitions and online messages.

At the time, Netflix responded with: "We've thought long and hard here at Netflix to try to make it work but unfortunately we can't".

The series follows eight 'sensates', strangers from across the globe who have been linked mentally and emotionally to one another since birth.
