Sense8: Why was the show canceled after 2 seasons?
A few days ago Netflix announced a heartbreaking news for the fans of Sense8 and you are told all about the reasons for this cancellation.
Only a few hours after Brian J.Smith called Will Gorski to do “trender” Sense8 on Twitter, and a few days after you were given our record of season 2 , the news fell. For the biggest misfortune of many fans – including us – Netflix canceled Sense8 one month after the season 2 broadcast and a cliffhanger closed the final season. Why have you already made this decision when the rest of the series expected for more than a year has just landed on the VOD service? Is it really a lack of hearings or is there any other reason behind that decision? It would seem that yes. Reed Hastings, the founder of Netflix, recently expressed his desire to take more risks and ” Try more crazy things, even if it means more cancellations for his series . And that’s what happened for the series of Sisters Wachowski Sense8 and, a few days earlier, for The Get Down. In spite of his powerful message, which is so necessary in recent times, Sense8 has not made the weight in the face of Netflix’s desire to increase its number of subscribers.
As often in the television industry, profitability has outweighed loyalty and too low audiences of the series did not play in his favor either. While Netflix almost automatically renewed all of its series so far, the strategy has indeed changed. The group’s objective is to create series that attract as many subscribers as possible and its target for the first quarter of 2017, which was 100 million subscribers, has not been achieved since it has capped at 98, 75 million . These “call products” are effective when viewers enjoy the free trial month and eventually sign up. Orange is the New Black and House of Cards are good examples, But Sense8 and The Get Down remain niche series that do not necessarily attract a large audience, hence their cancellation. We can therefore expect new more consensual creations and other cancellations later, a policy that is regretted since Netflix was precisely until now the platform that “dares” to propose us different and original series. In all cases Sense8 and especially his characters will miss us and we hope that the June program on Netflix will be enough to fill this gap. What do you think ? Other cancellations thereafter, a policy that is regretted since Netflix was precisely until now the platform that “dares” to propose us different series and original. In all cases Sense8 and especially his characters will miss us and we hope that the June program on Netflix will be enough to fill this gap. What do you think ?
