Meet The LGBT Characters In Netflix's New Sci-Fi Series "Sense8"

The new series from the Wachowskis includes trans, gay and closeted characters enmeshed in a supernatural conspiracy.

We already told you all about Sense8the original Netflix series by the Wachowskis set to debut this summer, and now we're getting more background on two of the LGBT characters.

The series follows eight strangers from all over the world who discover a strange connection where they can live through the experiences of one another, and Netflix just released character trailers for the eight main stars.

First up is transgender lesbian blogger and hacker Nomi, played by trans actress Jamie Clayton. Nomi lives in San Francisco and it appears the show takes a look at her strained relationship with her mother due to her gender identity.

The second main LGBT character we're introduced to is Lito, the closeted telenovela star played by Miguel Ángel Silvestren. Much of Lito's storyline revolves around the struggle with keeping his sexuality, and his secret boyfriend Hernando (Alfonso Herrera), out of the spotlight. 

Check out the two trailers below.
