Orange is the New Black’s Selenis Leyva & Sense8’s Miguel Angel Silvestre Interview Each Other by Bryce Olin

Within the next few days, there’s a date coming up that has the potential to be the day that Netflix will announce they’ve renewed Sense8 for a second season.

That date also has significance within the series, so please be warned there could be some unintentional spoilers within this piece. If you haven’t seen the first season of Sense8, you might want to be a little careful reading this post!

Of course, the date I’m referring to is August 8. What’s so special about that day?

Well, in the series, all eight sensates were born on August 8, and as Brian J. Smith, the dude who plays Will Gorski in the series, tweeted, their birthday is coming up!

I know 8 people who have a birthday coming up. #8/8 @sense8 — Brian J. Smith (@BrianJacobSmith) August 2, 2015

If there was a day more perfect for Netflix to announce Sense8 Season 2 than August 8, 2015, I can’t find it!

Netflix has already missed their opportunity to announce the shows renewal at the Summer TCA (Television Critics Association) Press Tour last week. I was sure Netflix was going to make the announcement there, but it didn’t happen. Perhaps, if Netflix has already made the decision about Sense8, they may have suspected the Sense8 announcement would overshadow other big news.

Since Netflix skipped any big announcements about Sense8 at the TCA Press Tour, the next logical date for announcing a renewal has to be August 8. It only makes too much, for lack of a better word, sense for that to happen.

Like I’ve mentioned before, I have no idea why Netflix wouldn’t renew Sense8. It’s easily one of the best Netflix originals ever, and it’s one of the best shows of 2015. We’ve already speculated about why Netflix might be taking a while to make their decision. And, at this point, no one knows if Sense8 Season 2 is a-go or not.

If Netflix doesn’t renew Sense8, I might lose my mind not knowing what’s going to happen next. I finished the season months ago, but I’m still thinking about it. That’s how hooked and intrigued I am with Sense8.

The announcement for Sense8’s future come any day now, but if it’s renewed for Season 2, I’m willing to bet that Netflix will announce the renewal on August 8. That’s my new prediction!
