Other directors maybe couldn’t feel what she feels. But Lana’s background story is very important, especially for one character, for… Fuck I always forget the names… Nomi and her story. Of course it’s always different – it’s not only about the sex or the gender, everybody has a different vision and a different reality they bring with them to tell a story. It didn’t work out this time maybe next time.ĭo you think the Wachowski sisters’ experience as trans women has made Sense8 the show it is? Do you think anybody else could have made it? And it’s not said that she’s not coming back, you know? We’ll see. Everybody’s human and needs to go their own way. It ‘s more about understanding each other, and we totally get it. Not a shock, because we were still in contact. She needed some time for herself especially after such a transition you need to reorganise and re-orientate yourself, so it came quite naturally.ĭid her departure come as a shock to the cast though? I wouldn’t say stepped away, I’d say took some time off. Speaking of Lana, fans were quite shocked when her sister Lilly stepped away from the show shortly before the production of season two began. So yeah, I get to have more scenes which are shown from a different side, which I think is very interesting for the audience.

My character is kind of dark and also very mysterious because he’s holding back his feelings and not talking so much.

It feels more organic to me, because the more she gets to know us the more she knows how to use our skills. Well I can only work with the stuff that Lana, and the writers give me, but she’s willingly open to experiment with the characters and we bring our personalities to these characters, so the more we get to know each other the more she’s willing to write scenes or new stuff into the story. So will the character of Wolfgang be explored in more depth this series? There’s so much more to come it’s hard to not speak about it an spoil anything! More sex, more violence, the characters have been established so we can keep on moving on with the storyline of course but also the characters themselves.

I think so! I’ve been asked what’s new and what to expect from it, and I always say it’s more of everything. Is season 2 gonna be worth the wait for fans?

It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since Sense8 first hit screens. We caught up with Berlin-based star to find out what’s in store for fans in season two, whether he ever had any doubts about going full-frontal for the role, and why he’s pretty much up for anything, as long as it feels right in the moment… Season one drew plaudits not only for it’s glossy visuals and high-concept plot – which sees strangers from different parts of the world who suddenly become ‘sensates’ human beings who are mentally and emotionally linked – but also for unaffected portrayal of characters of all races, sexual orientation and gender identity.Īmong the many fan-favourites is Wolfgang Bogdanow, a Berlin locksmith and criminal played by 33-year-old German actor Max Riemelt – who’ll you’ll be pleased to know was involved in the Sense8 cast’s impromptu man-on-man lip-locking appearance at Sao Paulo Pride last year.
