Netflix Announces Sense8 Season Two, Bonus Christmas Special

Netflix has confirmed that Sense8 will return for a whole new season, but that's not even the best part- there's also a two-hour Christmas special on the way! The bonus Christmas episode will launch at 8 am December 23, just in time to get you into the Christmas spirit. We don't know much about the Christmas episode as of yet, but Netflix promises that it will find our favourite characters, Capheus (Toby Onwumere), Kala (Tina Desai), Lito (Miguel Angel Silvestre), Nomi (Jamie Clayton), Riley (Tuppence Middleton), Sun (Donna Bae), Will (Brian J. Smith) and Wolfgang (Max Riemelt), "finding deeper connections, learning darker, more desperate secrets about one another and struggling to identify with more than just oneself."
Season 2 will premiere on May 5 with ten new episodes continuing the plot line of last season, with the characters fleeing from villain Whispers (Terrence Mann). Lana Wachowski, Grant Hill and J. Michael Straczynski serve as Executive Producers for the second season.
