Even though they have billions of dollars to spend on original programming, even Netflix has to make sure the numbers add up when it comes to their shows. As a result, this year has seen the streaming service axe a handful of shows, including “The Get Down” and “Girlboss,” but the one series that really caused an outcry when it got yanked was “Sense8.” Fans mounted an online campaign to save the program, and while Netflix initially seemed unmoved, it looks like they’ve had a change of heart.

Series co-creator Lana Wachowski has revealed on Twitter that thanks to the calls for “Sense8” to return, Netflix has agreed to revive the show for one, final two-hour series finale. It’s a savvy move by the streaming service, who get to both placate fans with a bit more “Sense8,” but also get a proper conclusion to the show that will live on Netflix forever. It’s always a bit disappointing to catch up with a show that had been canceled and get left hanging in the last episode when writers and showrunners weren’t aware they wouldn’t get an opportunity to conclude their story. So it’s a win-win situation all around.
