"Sense8" Canceled at Netflix after 2 Seasons

Despite some recent encouraging signs, Season 2 of Netflix’s sci-fi drama series "Sense8", from Lana and Lilly Wachowski and J. Michael Straczynski, will be its last as the Internet network has opted not to proceed with a third.
The decision comes less than a month after the May 5 release of Season 2.
“After 23 episodes, 16 cities and 13 countries, the story of the Sense8 cluster is coming to an end,” Netflix VP original content Cindy Holland said in a statement.
“It is everything we and the fans dreamed it would be: bold, emotional, stunning, kick ass, and outright unforgettable. Never has there been a more truly global show with an equally diverse and international cast and crew, which is only mirrored by the connected community of deeply passionate fans all around the world. We thank Lana, Lilly, Joe and Grant (Hill) for their vision, and the entire cast and crew for their craftsmanship and commitment.”
With its dense mythology, "Sense8" never became a broad, pop-culture hit like Netflix’s "Orange is the New Black" or "Stranger Things" but quickly established a loyal following by devoted fans who had been rallying for a third season renewal.
Their number was likely not enough to clinch another season of the expensive, globe-trotting sci-fi saga.
