Porn Site xHamster Wants to Produce New 'Sense8' Episodes
by EG
Adult website xHamster has offered to produce season 3 of Netflix’s recently canceled sci-fi drama series Sense8. While it may not have captured mass market attention the way House of Cards or Stranger Things has, the series, created by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, earned a passionate cult following. That cult then found itself hugely disappointed when Netflix announced the cancellation of the series on June 1, part of its recent effort to cut costs by dropping some of its lower-performing series.
Fans of Sense8 soon launched a campaign to save the show, either by pushing Netflix to reverse its decision or possibly find it another home. The campaign succeeded, at least partially, when Netflix announced a few weeks later that Sense8 would receive a two-hour wrap-up finale, to debut on the streaming service in 2018. Even after that, fans have retained hope, and now an unlikely entity has stepped up to offer a path to a new season of Sense8.
Don’t expect this to result in another season of Sense8, however. For one thing, the “public offer” by a pornography company is an old, often-used publicity stunt that very seldom leads to a project coming to fruition. Just about everyone who’s ever gotten into a public sex scandal in the last ten years, especially politicians, has gotten an “offer” from one porn company or another to appear in a video, usually in the form of a press release. They tend not to say yes.
