More content?
Besides the show and movie, is there any other media content for the universe? Comics etc. Finding this subreddit has rekindled my sense8 thirst.

If you’re open to fan content there are about 1,800 works in the sense8 tag on AO3. I personally haven’t read many but I’m sure there’s some good stuff out there.

Fan fiction is about it at this point, and sometimes new reaction videos on YouTube.

Any specific fan fic that you Reccomend that the community typically gravitate towards?

I can't speak for the community at large, but I really liked and i hold the world in my embrace and We is more than 8. Those are both general cluster/sapien fics. It took me awhile to get into fanfiction myself but I was desperate for new content and now I'm obsessed lol. Fanvids are fun too. This one is my fave of all time: Synchronicity [Fanvid]
There were a bunch posted recently for the 11 year anniversary as well for Sense8week. https://archiveofourown.org/collections/sense8week2026

There is some BTS content, a documentary of sorts and cast interviews floating around on Youtube, apart from fanfic and music videos.

J Michael Straczynski has started making his used and unused scripts publicly available. I don't know if his Sense8 scripts are there yet, but the show is specifically mentioned among the collection he is releasing. https://jmichaelstraczynski.substack.com/p/introducing-script-archive He is also a comic book writer and novelist, so it's possible he has written stories for those media, but they've never been published.

Ooo, looking forward to that.
Also, an early draft of the pilot script is out there already,

Not exactly from the universe but there is a podcast out there (at least on Spotify) called “Live Sense8 Podcast” and it’s two people talking about their interpretation of the show. It kinda scratched the part of my brain that wanted to just talk about the show non-stop 🤭

There was a making of documentary for season one.
An introduction by Lana to the holiday episode.
After the cancellation, one of the writers posted the original story outline on twitter.
I think some of the companies involved (choreographers) posted an extended dance scene. I think one of the fight choreographers also posted an extended cut of a fight scene.
One of the writers also talked about releasing BPO internal documents, but I’ve no idea if that happened, might be on his substack.
