Season 3 of Sense8 funded by… XHamster?

Yes, yes it's serious. You read that right. In order not to make Sense8 fans orphaned, despite the announcement of a special episode of 2 hours, the pornographic site XHamster, always looking for the right vein, proposes to finance a season 3 of Lana Wachowski's series.

The Wachowskis are filmmakers like no other. Their films have captured the imagination of their viewers, mainly with the legendary Matrix trilogy that revolutionized the history of cinema with its extraordinary special effects and still breathtaking today. Formerly brothers, now sisters, the Wachowskis unfortunately experienced a series of unfair flops with Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending but managed to revive with the series Sense8 on Netflix which was, for a time, one of the locomotives of the platform. Then many other series arrived on Netflix, and became cult one after the other, while season 2 took too long to be shot. In the end, the success was not wide enough for the series to be rescheduled for a third season.

Despite the announcement of a special episode of 2 hours to conclude the series, this does not fully suit the showrunneuse Lana Wachowski who announced to write a season 3 anyway. So that's where XHamster comes in… 

The site has indeed announced its willingness to finance season 3 of Sense8 using several arguments. They first explained that the site, thanks to its huge number of visitors (XHamster is one of the most visited websites in the world, much more than Netflix), has the means to ensure the financing of the series, while guaranteeing artistic freedom to the authors of the show. In addition, the sexual aspect of the series, if it could be restricted by Netflix, could then be much more important and worked than in the first two seasons (where the sex scenes are already of a high level of eroticism)… Case to follow if XHamster manages to recover the rights of the series…

Thus, the hope of many Internet users may occur. The flagship series of the mistresses of Science Fiction may see the light of day, although in an unexpected way. A case to follow very closely!
