on april 26, 2016, "deadline hollywood" reported that aml ameen abruptly left production a couple of episodes into filming of the second season over a conflict with lana wachowski that started during the table read for the season and progressively got worse. both the "deadline" article and ameen's co-star on "sense8", tuppence middleton, suggested the conflict was over creative differences. when asked about it, straczynski commented he was not there to know what happened between ameen and lana but he respects the choices of both. subsequent to ameen's departure, the role of capheus was recast to toby onwumere after a seven-day auditioning process. onwumere watched a few episodes of the show to prepare for his audition, as he had not seen it before. the actor said about his approach to the character: "my duty [was] not to emulate exactly what [ameen] has done, ... but just to give it my own spin, and kind of do my own thing, and just give this character the same essence, but ... maybe a different life and a different take on it." lana described the unexpected change of the actors as "beautiful" and "perfect", commenting that it complimented her effort to explore the nature of identity in the series. she elaborated that in her opinion ameen was an actor that was "quite good at being innocent and boyish" and onwumere had similar qualities but was also someone that was "ready to ... become a political leader ... and also fall in love and be sort of sensual with another body", storylines that are explored in the second season of the show. earlier in april, kick gurry, who had played parts in the wachowskis' "speed racer" and "jupiter ascending" in the past, revealed he had been cast in the second season, after lana called to inform him that they had a written a role specifically for him. in may, "deadline hollywood" reported ben cole had been cast as todd, a sensate who would rather be "normal". in september, sylvester mccoy reportedly revealed he filmed three or four episodes of the second season of a netflix show, later identified to be "sense8", and has signed to appear in further seasons if he is wanted. martin wuttke, who had minor roles in "cloud atlas", also joined the cast in the second season.
