Whatever happened to the stars of sci-fi show 'Sense8?'

Netflix's 'Sense8' was a true revolution not just for its plot but also for how it tackled the issue of diversity and inclusion, addressing various themes relevant to society and the human condition. Of course, a big part of its success was also due to its cast.

To avoid spoilers, let's just say that the eight main characters, known as 'sensates,' shared the same birthday: August 8, from different parts of the world, yet with a telepathic connection.

This original series created by the Wachowski sisters (the creators of the 'The Matrix') gathered millions of followers from all over the world. A dedicated fan community even forced Netflix to backtrack after announcing the series' cancellation in 2017. Eventually, a final two-and-a-half-hour episode did conclude the storyline in 2018.

What has become of its cast? Where are they now, and what have the stars of 'Sense8' done in over the last several years?

The British actress Tuppence Middleton played the Icelandic DJ Riley Blue, who ends up moving to London to escape a traumatic past, though her troubles don't end there.

Following the success of 'Sense8,' Tuppence Middleton has appeared, for example, in the movies 'Downton Abbey' (2019), 'The Current War' (2019), and 'Possessor,' as well as in the Netflix series 'The Defeated' (2020).

American actor Brian J. Smith delved into the role of Chicago Police Department officer Will Gorski, who grapples with the torment of an unresolved murder from his past.

After 'Sense8' concluded, Brian J. Smith participated in the TV remake of 'L.A. Confidential' (2019), the sci-fi series "Treadstone" (2019), and the film 'The Matrix Resurrections' (2021). And that's about it...

English actor Aml Ameen was Capheus Onyango, a charismatic Nairobi bus driver looking to earn money to buy medicine for his sick mother.

The actor decided to leave the series due to creative differences with the Wachowskis, as reported by outlets like Deadline. Since then, he has been seen in the dramedy series 'I May Destroy You' (2020) and the Canadian drama series 'The Porter' (2022). In 2021, he also took a leap to write, direct, and star in the film 'Boxing Day.'

The departure of Aml Ameen from the series meant that his character was played by American actor Toby Onwumere in the second season. To be precise, Onwumere made his debut as Capheus Onyango in the special Christmas episode of 2016.

His work in 'Sense8' served as a springboard for other projects like the series 'Empire' (2018-2019), the film 'The Matrix Resurrections' (2021), and the American drama film 'A Good Person' (2023).
