"Sense8," a sci-fi series co-created by the Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski for Netflix, follows eight individuals from around the world who become psychically linked. As is typical of Wachowski projects, it gained a devoted cult following while baffling mainstream audiences. Netflix spent a fortune on the show's first two seasons — which, sadly, were not met with high-enough viewership. Sensing the original five-year plan wasn't going to be doable, some attached to the series began to suggest that a proposed Season 3 would be the show's last. But Netflix didn't even want that, canceling the series in 2017.

After massive fan outcry (via Variety), "Sense8" did receive a conclusion in the form of the 2018 finale feature, "Amor Vincit Omnia," written by the future "Matrix Resurrections" writing team of Lana Wachowski, David Mitchell, and Aleksandar Hemon. It received strong reviews from critics and fans alike. Several actors from "Sense8," including Max Riemelt, Brian J. Smith, Toby Onwumere, and Eréndira Ibarra, went on to star in "The Matrix Resurrections."
