News xHamster makes offer for a third season of "Sense8".
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
Will this be on xHamster All Access?
The same.
This is xHamster trolling the internet, and doesn't deserve its own thread apart from the Sense8 S2 one. No way do they have anywhere near the kind of cash necessary to fund the show.
Huh, never heard of that site before (I wonder what that says about me...).
And yeah, if they're a porn site, I doubt they have the kind of money to make an global-filming series like Sense8 and still maintain the high level of quality of the first two seasons.

That sounds like a good idea worth exploring.
Pornography is a very wealthy industry.

$13 billion in the US alone back around 2010. Globally, now, hell of a lot more. XHamster would have no problem producing Sense 8 to launder mo—I mean, to pick up where it left off.

Maybe not at $100m a season, but given their net worth is around $2b, their annual revenue is around $225m and they get 26 million unique visits per day, why not?
Now that the Sense8 group are all (mostly) together, costs could be reduced by slimming down the number of locations filmed at without unduly impacting on its general production style.
It's unlikely to happen and after being mostly bored through S2, I'm not that concerned about a full-fledged return, but the possibility is there. It if course depends upon Lilly/Lana's feelings about being distributed through a pornographic website, whether that melds with their morals and politics (no idea) and what the pricing platform would be for potential viewers.
Hugo - fun thought experiment though

Indeed, the porn industry makes money hand over, um, fist.
Trolling? Look at it this way: Were you thinking of or talking about xHamster prior to that letter's release? I bet you, and a lot of other people, weren't, but now are.
For one thing, porn aggregator sites such as xHamster tend to be chock-full of revenge porn and pirated content, which benefit even the professional performers barely (no pun intended) if at all, so progressive fans of the show would have to weigh their desire for more Sense8 against the knowledge that its funding would be coming from the direct exploitation of those amateurs and professionals who appear in its core content. My guess is that very few of them would make that monetary leap, so even if xHamster does have the financial resources to make good on its offer (citation needed, btw), it'd almost certainly not recoup it. Or, such would be my guess.
As in, "being a prick on the internet because you can"? I admit that as far as trolling goes, this is pretty inoffensive in of itself, but I find your suggestion that trolling and self-promotion are mutually exclusive bizarre. As for brand awareness, I've known about the site for years, but even in mainstream entertainment terms, they'd have to fund something far more to my tastes than more Sense8 to tempt me into handing over my credit card data.
re: Pornography is a very wealthy industry.
Do they just get it all from advertising though? I mean surely not that many people pay for porn? I remember watching documantaries ages ago, probably at the start of this decade, about how these tube sites were killing the industry and no one was making money anymore etc. But here we are years later and all these porn companies are still going somehow.

Probably old media. You go to an adult store, and many of the DVDs are $25-$40 each. Magazines are $10 or more, and so on. I think as the boomers go, that will change.
I work at an adult store, and we just shut down our DVD rental section, because it made less than € 200,- a day. It rarely had customers younger than 40 three years ago, since then it was barely anyone below 50. For adult stores, the future is sex toys, lingerie and such, with magazines and films more of a side business.
As for porn companies, aside of what they still make from old media, they have their own streaming services, using tube sites for trailers and such (like the big movie studios use YouTube). And the performers have other venues, still, like custom videos and private online shows.
