Netflix has just released the trailer for its upcoming original series Sense8. The show is from Andy and Lana Wachowski, most famously of The Matrix and most recently of Jupiter Ascending, and J. Michael Straczynski, who was worked on Thor and World War Z. While the Wachowskis have recently had trouble channeling their massive ambitions into successful films, perhaps expanding into the world of binge-watching television will give them the proper outlet to tell the stories they want to tell. The ambitious sci-fi series hits Netflix on Friday June 5th.
The official synopisis:
From the unparalleled creative minds of The Wachowskis (“The Matrix” trilogy, “Cloud Atlas”) and J. Michael Straczynski (Clint Eastwood’s “Changeling,” “World War Z”), as well as Grant Hill (“The Matrix” trilogy, “Cloud Atlas”), *Sense8* is a gripping story of eight people from around the world whose lives are suddenly and inexplicably connected in a fight for their own survival.
