For its first run on Netflix, "Sense8" caught the attention of the viewers with its supernatural plot which eventually led to good viewership ratings. Although there were some critics playing down the success of the Netflix show because of its similarities to "Heroes," the season finale was considered a success. However, despite its good performance in terms of viewership ratings, "Sense8" Season 2 cancellation news eventually made its round on the internet. Is there any truth behind "Sense8" cancellation?

According to Digital Spy, the stars of the Netflix series are shooting down "Sense8" cancellation speculations, revealing that there are still a lot of stories to tell. This means that "Sense8" Season 2 has been given the green light is already in development.

The plot of "Sense8" uncovers the unique journey of eight special strangers from around the world who share an uncanny, psychic connection. "Sense8" Season 2 will reportedly be handled solely by Lana Wachowski as her sister, Lilly, decided to take a break from directing, executive producing and writing. According to The Wire, "Sense8" Season 2 is set to premiere in May 2017.

One of the "Sense8" actors, Brian J. Smith, reportedly said that no final decision has been made regarding the fate of the series. The actor also teased the fans with a possibility that there might be more seasons in store after "Sense8" Season 2.

The 35-year old actor also acknowledged the fact that "Sense8" is a series that is not only challenging to be part in as an actor but also does not conform to the viewing preferences of everyone which might have led to the "Sense8" cancellation rumors. This led him to say that the fate of the series greatly depends on the fans. "That all rests with Netflix and also the fans, too - if they like what happens, and they like what they see in season two, we'll hear about it," Brian J. Smith said.

Brian J. Smith plays the role of Will Gorski in "Sense8." While "Sense8" Season 2 is still on hiatus, the actor is currently involved in theatrical projects, starring in "The Glass Menagerie" at the Duke of York's Theatre in London.
