But Sense8 was apparently too expensive to continue into a third season. At an estimated $9M* per episode (with a 23-episode run), it’s the latest in a bunch of cuts from Netflix that include expensive shows such as The Get Down, Marco Polo, and Bloodline.
Cindy Holland, vice president of original content said in a statement, “[Sense 8] It is everything we and the fans dreamed it would be: bold, emotional, stunning … and outright unforgettable.”
Sense8 starred Doona Bae, Jamie Clayton, Tina Desai, and Daryl Hannah. The series premiered on June 5, 2015 and finished its run on May 5, 2017.
