Sense8 Season 2: 12 Things To Expect

12. Lito Faces Being Publicly Out

One of the most emotional – and, for many, relatable – stories of season one was that of Lito (Miguel Angel Silvestre), an actor at the top of his game in the Mexican film industry but who was struggling to keep his homosexuality under wraps.

By the end of the season, however, images of Lito having sex with boyfriend Hernando (Alfonso Herrera) had leaked, and all was out in the open. The Christmas special began to show us the difficulties this was causing the couple, but chose to end on an optimistic beat, with Lito's mother accepting him for who he is. Not everyone will be so kind, however...

Over the coming season, Lito, Hernando, and their reckless third wheel Daniela (Erendira Ibarra) will face the cruel reality of their society's homophobia. Kicked out of his apartment and with his career on the line, Lito will have to rely on his friends more than ever, and it looks like his relationship is going to be truly tested.
