xHamster wants to produce Sense8Image Source: deviantart.net

Sense8 was a short-lived sci fi drama web series created by the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix).The plot of the series revolves around a group of people found around the world who are suddenly linked mentally. They must find a way to survive being hunted by those who see them as a threat to the world's order.

However, Netflix the streaming service who owns the series has cancelled the show last June. This prompted the x-rated website xHamster to offer picking up the LGBT-inclusive show for themselves.

xHamster’s vice president Alex Hawkins wrote an open letter to Sense8 creators vowing to commit their entire production budget to the show.

“xHamster is currently one of the most trafficked websites on the internet. We have the eyeballs, and the revenue. Unlike Netflix, you wouldn’t be competing for part of our production budget – it would be yours,” Hawkins wrote.

“xHamster has a long history fighting for the rights of sexual speech, and non-normative sexuality,” the letter said. “In addition to allowing billions of users to connect with individual articulations of gender and sexuality, we continue to use our audience to speak up against repressive anti-LGBTQ laws in the US and abroad, and for sex ed in public schools, Planned Parenthood and the right of sex workers.”

“We know we’re an unlikely home, but five years ago people laughed at the idea of Netflix producing original series. We think that our time, like yours, has come.”
