Netflix Snaps Up Wachowskis’ Sci-Fi Series

10-episode show Sense8 will premiere in 2014

Netflix has completed another high-profile acquisition, ordering 10 episodes of a new scripted series to be directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix, Cloud Atlas) and penned by Babylon 5 creator and screenwrter J. Michael Straczynski. 

Set to premiere in 2014, Sense8 is being billed as “a gripping global tale of minds linked and souls hunted,” which frankly isn’t much to go on. Marc Rosen’s Georgeville entertainment will produce the show, with an assist from Straczynski’s own company, Studio JMS.
