Plot details for the new series are still sketchy, although Netflix have confirmed that the new episodes will pick up where season one left off.

It's time to reacquaint ourselves with the Sensates – after a trippy opening season and an emotional Christmas special, Netflix's sci-fi drama Sense8 season two returns with our eight interconnected characters all present and correct.
