'Sense8' News And Updates: Two-Hour Event For Christmas Special Confirmed! Season 2 Premiere Date Announced [SPOILERS]

"Sense8" producers have been quiet about the Season 2 installment of the Netflix original series but in their latest announcement, many fans of the show will be getting an early Christmas present. The premiere date for "Sense8" season 2 has been announced and a two-hour special called "Sense8: A Christmas Special" will be airing on December 23.

Entertainment Tonight reported that "Sense8: A Christmas Special" will still follow the eight main characters of the show who are all mentally-linked. These are Capheus, Kala, Lito, Nomi, Riley, Sun, Will, and Wolfgang. Accordingly, they will be finding deeper connections and will learn more about their darker and more desperate secrets during the two hours "Sense8: A Christmas Special." Also, the characters will be struggling more to identify with more than just one self.

CNET also reported that "Sense8" dropped its freshman season back in June 2015 and fans have been waiting for updates. This latest update is actually one of the few updates that are confirmed and are legitimate. The second season of "Sense8" will air on May 5, 2017, and fans are not that happy about how long that will keep them waiting.

One "Sense8" fan wrote on Twitter, "@sense8 May. MAY?!?!?! What's wrong with you." Others posted memes of what they looked like when they knew that "Sense8" Season 2 will be back on Netflix not until May of next year.

"Sense8" is an Emmy-nominated sci-fi drama film. The creator of the show are J. Michael Straczynski and Lana and Lilly Wachowski. It was reported last May that Lilly will no longer be part of "Sense8" Season 2 but it was not confirmed and if it is one of the possible reasons why "Sense 8" Season 2 is taking too much time to be released.

The stars of "Sense8" are Brian J. Smith, Donna Bae, Jamie Clayton, Max Riemelt, Miguel Angel Silvestre, Tina Desai, Toby Onwumere, and Tuppence Middleton. The "Sense8" Season 10 will be having 10 episodes and pick up at the end of the season one of "Sense 8."
