Netflix Releases Trailer for 'Sense8 - A Christmas Special,' Streaming Premiere Set for December 23

The Wachowskis' streaming series returns to Netflix next week with a Christmas special.

Netflix has released a trailer for 'Sense8 - A Christmas Special.' The two-hour episode will start streaming on December 23. In addition, all ten episodes of the show's second season will arrive on May 5, 2017. 

Picking up where season one left off, Capheus (Toby Onwumere), Kala (Tina Desai), Lito (Miguel Angel Silvestre), Nomi (Jamie Clayton), Riley (Tuppence Middleton), Sun (Donna Bae), Will (Brian J. Smith) and Wolfgang (Max Riemelt) come together both physically and mentally, plunged into the middle of each other’s tragedies and triumphs. On the run from Whispers (Terrence Mann), and forced to question their very identity, it's a matter of survival as the Sensates must find a way to live with, understand and protect one another against all odds. The journey continues as these eight singular hearts and minds weave in and out of each other’s lives finding deeper connections, learning darker, more desperate secrets about one another and struggling to identify with more than just oneself.
