Netflix’s surprise hit Sense8 has revealed a release date for the series’ upcoming second season, as well as a Christmas special due later this year.
The sci-fi drama created by the Wachowski sisters follows a number of LGBTI story arcs, featuring closeted gay actor Lito Rodriguez and transgender hacker Nomi Marks among the ensemble of characters.
The show drew much attention for an extended pansexual orgy scene between many of the eight titular characters, as well as the closeness of the cast off set.
