Netflix announces Christmas special and season premiere for ‘Sense8’

For fans of the Netflix sci-fi drama Sense8, the latest news is sure to be a great Christmas gift. The show will be streaming a special on December 23 and will come back for a second season on May 5, 2017. It might seem like such a long wait since the 12-episode season was released back in June 2015. But perhaps the Christmas special could tide some of you over until the new season airs.

Sense8 is an Emmy-nominated show from Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski and The Matrix creators Lana and Lilly Wachowski. Lilly Wachowski will supposedly be stepping back from the series, though. The story focuses on eight strangers from around the world that they are “sensates” or humans who are mentally and emotionally linked.
