Netflix cancels 'Sense8' after two seasons

Netflix cancels 'Sense8' after two seasons Netflix cancels 'Sense8' after two seasons This marks Netflix’s second major series cancelation in as many weeks, with Baz Luhrmann’s incredibly expensive musical drama The Get Down (season 1 had an estimated budget of $120 million) canceled last week. Luhrmann cited a personal conflict between his status as showrunner and a preexisting film directing contract with Sony for that cancelation, but Netflix CEO Reed Hastings implied at Code Conference yesterday that the show had also fallen short of viewership expectations. There has also been speculation that the relationship between Netflix and Sony Pictures Television has somewhat soured.
