These New ‘Sense8’ Pics Will Whet Your Appetite for Season 2 – LOOK

New photos have been released from season 2 of Sense8 that hint at what viewers can expect when the show returns on Netflix for viewers to binge.

The series was created by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, best known for The Matrix movies. They are also the creative minds behind the films Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending.

There has been some speculation as to whether the second season of Sense8 is in trouble after news broke that Lilly Wachowski and a series regular both departed the show. 

“Lilly needed to take some time off,” said star Jamie Clayton (who plays Nomi Marks), of Lilly’s departure. She reportedly needed to focus on her well-being after she publicly came out as transgender earlier this year. She may return to work with her sister Lana for the show’s third season.

Daley recently explained to Graham Norton the reason why they need to be quite so skimpy.

“If you’re spinning around, the last thing you want to do is have something come out of place,” he says, though we’re inclined to disagree. “And when you hit the water you don’t want things flapping about because it would hurt.”
