After Netflix cancelled Sense8, porn site offers to produce season 3

Sense8 was earlier cancelled by Netflix after its season 2 due to low viewership so porn site xHamster has offered to produce season 3.

Sense8 fans were mighty disappointed when Netflix put a kibosh on its fan-favourite original series. The decision was met with an uproar, especially in the LGBT community, as the show boasts breaks the hetero-normative order and features people coming together from different races, gender identities and sexualities. While Netflix has ordered a two-hour season finale to wrap things up, we know that’s hardly the revival fans deserve. Hence porn site xHamster has taken it upon itself to bring back Sense8.

xHamster has written to Sense8 creators Lana and Lilly Wachowski expressing their desire to produce season 3 of the show. “We know it’s unconventional but we want to bring it back- on xHamster,” wrote xHamster Vice President Alex Hawkins in the letter. Quoting that they have a “a long history of fighting for the rights of sexual speech,” the porn site offered to save the show from the conclusion that Netflix has in stock for the show.

Nearly a month after the show was cancelled, Netflix was faced with heavy criticism and several fans’ petitions compelled the network to at least conclude the season 2 story which ended at a cliffhanger. While it is not something everyone had hoped for, especially the cast who were negotiated for a third season, creator Lana Wachowski was quite delighted from the news of the revival.

Reportedly, Wachowsi “fell into a fairly serious depression” after the show was cancelled and now she has a chance to end the story her way. But it is still not enough as Sense8 touched upon subjects of poverty, homophobia, transphobia, religion and race. The show meant more than mere entertainment for its fans.

xHamster has offered to be an “unlikely home” to the show that has touched several lives. The question for Sense8 fans is, will they be comfortable going to a porn site to watch their favourite show?
