Porn site xHamster offers to produce Sense8 season 3 following Netflix cancellation

The site claims it can afford to do what Netflix can't

Sense8's season 2 polyamorous orgy scene

Netflix may have agreed to provide closure to the Wachowskis' Sense8 with a two-hour 'finale' special, but major porn site xHamster is offering to bankroll an entire third season.

"We know we're an unlikely home, but five years ago people laughed at the idea of Netflix producing original series," Vice President Alex Hawkins said in an open letter addressed to Lana and Lilly Wachowski.

"We know that a series about polymorphous perversity is a hard sell for a mainstream network like Netflix," he continued, "[but] we have no such limitations, and also understand implicitly the interconnectedness of sexualities across boundaries. In short, we are we."

Netflix cancelled the big budget show after two seasons due to insufficient ratings, but persistent petitioning by fans convinced them to allow the Wachowskis' to tie up the story in the two-hour episode now being worked up.

In the comments section bellow the letter, many fans were delighted at the prospect of a full season, though one noted: "You label the Transgender section of your site as 'Shemale' still...xHamster still has a long way to go for a company that apparently stands up for LGBT rights."

xHamster's letter in full:

'Dear Lana and Lilly,

We recently read that you're working on a third season of Sense8 despite the fact that Netflix has no plans to renew the series. We know it's unconventional, but we want to bring it back - on xHamster. We're not talking about a parody, or something less than, but an actual revival of the series.

Ever since we read about the cancellation, we've been wondering if there was something we could do. While we're happy that Netflix is picking up the series for a conclusion, before you wrap up the story, we wanted you to consider another option - letting xHamster produce the series.

Here us out.

xHamster is currently one of the most trafficked websites on the internet. We get more visitors daily than the New York Times, ESPN or the Daily Mail. In short, we have the eyeballs and the revenue. Unlike with Netflix, you wouldn't be competing for part of our production budget - it would be yours.

We also have the disposition. We know that a series about polymorphous perversity is a hard sell for a mainstream network like Netflix. We have no such limitations, and also understand implicitly the interconnectedness of sexualities across boundaries. In short, we are a we.

xHamster has a long history of fighting for the rights of sexual speech, and non-normative sexuality. In addition to allowing billions of users to connect with individual articulations of gender and sexuality, we continue to use our audience to speak up against repressive anti-LGBTQ laws in the US and abroad, and for sex ed in public schools Planned Parenthood and the right of sex workers.

We'd like to set up a meeting to see if there's some fit for us in the future of Sense8. We know we're an unlikely home. But five years ago, people laughed at the idea of Netflix producing original series. We think that our time, like yours, has come.

Sincerely,

Alex Hawkins

Vice President, xHamster'
