About Sense8

Sense8 is a Netflix science-fiction drama from the Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski that ran from 2015 to 2018, following eight strangers around the world who suddenly become psychically and emotionally linked — able to share knowledge, skills, and presence across continents — as a shadowy organization hunts them. Filmed on location across the globe, it's an ambitious, empathy-driven epic.

Sprawling and sincere, the series celebrates connection, identity, queerness, and chosen family, using its sci-fi premise to argue for radical empathy across borders and differences. Beloved for its diverse ensemble and emotional generosity, it inspired a devoted fanbase that campaigned successfully for a finale special after its cancellation.

A singular, heart-on-its-sleeve epic, Sense8 remains a cult landmark of global, inclusive sci-fi.
