The second season launched the series was canceled on June 1 and Wachowski announced the revival on June 29. Hill looks back on the second season as a turning point for the series - “we got good reviews, the end of season two was very strong for us,” he says - which is why when Netflix decided to cancel the show less than one moth after its debut, the news came as a shock to the creators, who had initially mapped out five seasons.

Indeed, the second season ended with Wolfgang’s capture by the evil BPO organization that hunts the sensates and the impending nuptials between Nomi, a transgender hacktivist, and her girlfriend, Amanita, put on the backburner. We wanted to see an ending - and an ending that went out with the same level of storytelling, energy and efforts that went through the two seasons.” “We certainly wanted to give them something, but we also felt that to leave the show as a question-mark didn’t really sit well. “The fans were very vocal and they supported the show from day one,” series executive producer Grant Hill tells The Hollywood Reporter when speaking about the show’s sendoff.

The episode ended with the message: For our fans. In the end, all of the sensates had found love and now, they were finally safe and in each other’s arms. The win, which will bring about a hopeful future for themselves and for their kind, was celebrated with the inclusive wedding between Nomi (Jamie Clayton) and Amanita (Freema Agyeman) and topped off with the biggest orgy scene yet of the series.
