After not getting a Netflix renewal, "Super Sense Hunting" has a big gift for fans: the final two-hour episode. This Thursday (29th), the filmmakers announced the news through Twitter, and this special edition episode will be broadcast next year.
The show's co-producer, Lana Wachowski, announced the decision to produce the special edition in an open letter. Netflix's official Twitter also retweeted the letter and paid tribute to the sci-fi series with a video. "The cancellation of the show was disappointing, and we decided to give the fans of Super Sense Hunt an ending," a Netflix spokesperson said.
This final episode will be the second special episode of Super Sense Hunting. Previously, due to the gap between the first and second seasons for nearly two years, the filmmakers released a two-hour Christmas special in December 2016.
In Lana's open letter, she confessed that she was "plunged into a deep depression" after the cancellation of Super Sense Hunt. On June 1, Netflix confirmed the news that "Super Sense Hunting" was cut, and the second season of the show just aired on May 5.
"After the cut of 'Super Sense Hunting', I felt the love and regret of the fans, and I often did not dare to open my mailbox," Lana wrote at the beginning of the letter, "No job before could make me pour so much effort like 'Super Sense Hunting', and its cancellation really broke my heart." ”
She said the filming of the show was "incredible." The second season of "Super Sense Hunting" was filmed in 16 cities in 11 countries, and the actors were also from all over the world. Lana revealed that the actors of the show, especially the eight lead actors, are very sad, and the enthusiasm of the fans is the most heartbreaking. At the same time, she said that it is the love of the fans that makes the show come back again.
"Our team found that we were not alone, and I realized that I represented not just me personally, but us," Lana wrote. Now let's see what happens in Wolfgang. ”
After Netflix announced the cancellation of "Super Sense Hunting", fans of the show were killed in the lead role of Brian Lee. With the support of J. Smith, he launched the "Resurrection of the Super Sense Hunt". Despite the reluctance of fans, Netflix did not change its decision in the following weeks. "We also want to bring Super Sense Hunt back to you, and the reason we took so long to get back to you is because after a long period of careful thinking, we hope this wish will come true, but unfortunately, we can't do it," the streaming company wrote on its Facebook page.
"It's a great show and the fans are enthusiastic, but it's not enough to support its huge production costs, even for a platform like ours." Netflix's chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, said this shortly after The Sensation Hunt was canceled.
Thanks to the diverse cast and well-designed plot, the show was well received by the audience. In addition to Smith, the show stars Max Remet, Toby Owumel Jamie Clayton, Pei Doona, Tapence Middleton, Miguel Ange Sylvester and Tina Desai.
"Super Sense Hunting" is about 8 "synaesthetes" who find that they can sense each other's emotions. The eight men came from all over the world, including DJs from Iceland, prison fighting experts in Seoul, South Korea, police officers in Chicago, hackers in San Francisco, bus drivers in Nairobi, Kenya, film actors in Mexico City, sociopaths in Berlin, Germany, and Indian pharmacists from Mumbai. In the plot, they are connected to each other's spiritual worlds.
