“Rembrandt. His name is synonymous with masterpiece, and this is arguably one of his greatest paintings. An iconic work of individuals setting aside their differences for a common good. But what we see is not what people saw hundreds of years ago. How we see changes, because our senses are evolving,” begins the trailer for the series from Lana Wachowski, Grant Hill and J. Michael Straczynski.

Sense8 revolves around eight characters from different parts of the world, who experience a violent vision and soon find themselves mentally connected by the experience. They become connected, able to see and talk to one another as though they were in the same place, with access to each other’s deepest secrets. Not only must the eight adapt to this new ability and to one another, they must figure out why their lives are now in jeopardy.

In Season 2, dark forces continue to track the cluster of eight connected characters. The sensates will learn more about BPO, the secret organization searching for their cluster and others like them, and will work to protect themselves from this group that is out to hunt and kill them.

The new key art for Season 2 with the tagline “Survive Together” reflects their connection and bond with one another.

In addition to Silvestre, the cast also includes Doona Bae, Jamie Clayton, Tina Desai, Tuppence Middleton, Toby Onwumere, Max Riemelt, Brian J. Smith, Terrence Mann, Naveen Andrews and Daryl Hannah.

Season 2 of Sense8 begins streaming on Netflix on May 5.

From J. Michael Straczynski, Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski, Sense8 revolves around eight strangers from different parts of the world who suddenly become mentally and emotionally linked. The show aims to explore subjects that its writers feel science fiction shows, at least ostensibly, tend to ignore or skim through like as politics, identity, sexuality, gender and religion.

The fate of the series had been uncertain. Last month at the Television Critics Association Summer Tour co-creator Straczynski told reporters, “We’re still waiting word for the final determination, but the talks have been optimistic. It’s Netflix’s call.”

The cast includes Silvestre, who portrays closeted Mexico City-based actor Lito Rodriguez, Freema Agyeman, Aml Ameen, Doona Bae, Jamie Clayton, Tina Desai, Daryl Hannah, Tuppence Middleton, Max Riemelt and Brian J. Smith.
