Netflix has revealed the first look at Doctor Who star Freema Agyeman in Sense8, the new original sci-fi series from the creators of The Matrix.

Described as “a gripping global tale of minds linked and souls hunted”, the 12-part series will be available to watch worldwide on Netflix from Friday 5 June.

British cast members include Agyeman – who played companion Martha Jones in Doctor Who from 2007-2010 – alongside Lost‘s Naveen Andrews and his Sinbad co-star Tuppence Middleton.

Co-showrunner J. Michael Straczynski hinted last year: “The series follows eight characters around the world who, in the aftermath of a tragic death, find themselves linked to each other mentally and emotionally. They can not only see and talk to each other as though they were in the same place, they have access to each other’s deepest secrets. Not only must they figure out what happened and why and what it means for the future of humanity, they must do so while being hunted by an organization out to capture, kill or vivisect them.”

Sense8 was filmed in Chicago, San Francisco, London, Iceland, Seoul, Mumbai, Berlin, Mexico City and Nairobi.
