The filming process allowed for the new Sense8 cast to bond, and for Onwumere to become a part of the group after Aml Ameen's Sense8 departure. Toby Onwumere debuted as the new Capheus in the Sense8 Christmas special released between seasons 1 and 2, with a lamp-shading comment from his friend Jela about his "new look." This was followed by the extensive filming of season 2, which took place over 16 cities and 11 countries. Maybe someday, the actor will elaborate on what the exact issues were that led to his departure, but ultimately, Sense8 continued to be great following his exit, so perhaps the change was best for all involved. So, truly, why did Aml Ameen leave Sense8? It appears to simply come down to creative tension, with the actor and showrunner Lana Wachowski failing to overcome their differences during filming. Other reports suggested the actor might have felt uncomfortable with the amount of Sense8 nudity and sex scenes required of his character in Sense8 season 2.

Series producer Grant Hill also described the process as amicable to The Hollywood Reporter : "It’s a big cast, everybody’s under a lot of pressure, and it just got to a point where you had people that liked each other but just disagreed on a way forward,” She explained Wachowski and Ameen simply had creative differences in how they approached the character and suggested the actor may have had “limitations” on the type of material he was willing to perform.
However, Clayton was quick to clarify that had absolutely nothing to do with Ameen leaving Sense8. Other reports listed Ameen's departure not as a decision over creative differences but a firing of the actor.Īll of this added fuel to the speculation around his exit, and some commenters quickly began to speculate that Aml Ameen might have been guilty of transphobic comments and attitudes during production. The Wachowski sisters are both trans women and when Aml Ameen's recasting was announced, one of his co-stars, the trans actress Jamie Clayton posted on social media that she was excited about the change. While the public line behind Aml Ameen's sudden departure was creative differences about the direction of the Capheus' Sense8 role during season 2, some darker rumors came to the foreground over time. While Netflix did release a movie-length finale, some Sense8 storylines were unresolved. While his replacement was generally well received, the show was canceled before Sense8 season 3 could be filmed. The actor actually filmed for a couple of episodes of Sense8 season 2 but left after tensions between him and Wachowski failed to improve. According to the original report, Ameen clashed with co-creator Lana Wachowski during a table read for season 2, and their relationship worsened from there.
