Over the course of their 20-year career, filmmakers and siblings Lilly and Lana Wachowski have operated as a single creative unit. They’ve written and directed seven feature films together, and in 2015, they launched their first television show: Netflix’s Sense8, which they co-created with J. Michael Straczynski.
Now, for the first time in her professional career, Lana Wachowski is going it alone as the singular director and guiding voice of every episode of Sense8 Season 2. “Lilly needed to take some time off,” Jamie Clayton, one of the show’s stars, told BuzzFeed News of the executive producer in a phone interview. Lilly, who came out as transgender in March, is using this time to focus on her well-being, but she could return should Netflix order a third season.
