May 7, 2015 4:59 PM CUT Enter the (seemingly very) convoluted world of the Wachowski siblings’ upcoming Netflix show _Sense8_, about eight people around the world who are connected to one another. “You have seven other selves now,” a character is told in the trailer. “You can access each others’ knowledge, language, skills.” Need more details? Co-creator J. Michael Straczynski told [BuzzFeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/emilyorley/everything-you-need-to-know-about-netflixs-new-show-sense8?utm%5Fterm=.kj2GoRj0Z#.icaNOv9wK "undefined") that the show is a “a global story told on a planetary scale about human transcendence and what it ultimately means to be human in a contemporary society.” So, you know, light summer fare. (For what it’s worth, BuzzFeed describes the show as “_far_ more complex than” Straczynski’s above description.) The show stars, among others, Naveen Andrews, Doona Bae, Daryl Hannah, and Brian J. Smith; it premieres June 5. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3850456/sense8-trailer-netflix/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3850456/sense8-trailer-netflix/"},"headline":"Just Try to Figure Out What's Going on in the Wachowskis' Sense8 Trailer","datePublished":"2015-05-07T16:59:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:01:24.796Z","description":"Do you get it yet?","url":"https://time.com/3850456/sense8-trailer-netflix/","keywords":["Television","Netflix","entertainment"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Esther Zuckerman","jobTitle":"Zuckerman is a contributor for TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/esther-zuckerman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3850456/sense8-trailer-netflix/","name":"Just Try to Figure Out What's Going on in the Wachowskis' Sense8 Trailer"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Sense8 Official Trailer","description":"Sense8 Official Trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/DQ9aI0LL/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-05-07T16:06:37.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/DQ9aI0LL.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3850456/sense8-trailer-netflix/","duration":"PT1M14S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3850456/sense8-trailer-netflix/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
