Sense8 fans, here's some good news: not only is season two on the way, but it's not definitively the end of the show.

Rumours have been swirling that Netflix is planning to drop the show after it debuts its next 10 episodes on May 5.

But actor Brian J Smith - who plays Will Gorski - told Digital Spy that no final decision has been made on the show's fate.

"That all rests with Netflix and also the fans, too - if they like what happens, and they like what they see in season two, we'll hear about it," he said.

"I think we'll all know whether or not we should do a third season. I hope we do. I can say there's definitely more story to tell after season two. We're not done with it and I hope we get to finish it, I really do."

Smith - currently starring in The Glass Menagerie at the Duke of York's Theatre on London's West End - says he recognises that Sense8 is both "very challenging" and "not to everybody's taste".

"For every person who thinks that it's this work of art, there's someone else who thinks it's the biggest piece of shit they've ever seen. Who's right? Who cares! It's art. Your reaction to it is a reflection of who you are and your own values."

The series, created by The Wachowskis with Babylon 5 creator J Michael Straczynski, tells the story of eight strangers from around the world who share a psychic connection.

For the second season, Lilly Wachowski remained involved as co-creator but took a break from writing, directing and executive producing, leaving sister Lana as sole showrunner.

Brian J Smith stars in The Glass Menagerie, now showing at London's Duke of York's Theatre until April 29. Book tickets now.
