The poster features an abstract portrayal of eight heads spiralling out from a central point, resembling a sample under a microscope. The eight heads belong to the main characters of the series, Sun Bak (a South Korean woman portrayed by Bae Doona), Nomi Marks (a white trans woman from San Francisco protrayed by Jamie Clayton), Kala Dandekar (an Indian woman portrayed by Tina Desai), Riley Blue (a white Icelandic woman portrayed by Tuppence Middleton), Wolfgang Bogdanow (a white German man portrayed by Max Riemelt), Lito Rodriguez (a Mexican man portrayed by Miguel Ángel Silvestre), Will Gorski (a white man from Chicago portrayed by Brian J. Smith), and Capheus Onyango (a black Kenyan man portrayed by Aml Ameen). The background is a mixed gradient of various greens and blues. The series title, "Sense8," is written with "Sense" in light green and "8" in black across the centre of the poster. Above the title, centered between two heads is the series tagline "I am we."
