‘The Sandman’ Officially Renewed For Season 2 On Netflix
‘The Sandman‘ will be back to fill your dreams for a 2nd Season Netflix has announced. If you’re a fan of the show, check out the bottom of the article for the videos from ‘The Sandman’ panel at MCM Comic Con!
Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series written by Neil Gaiman, the series stars Tom Sturridge, as The Sandman, aka Dream, aka Morpheus, Master of Dreams, who gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies.
The news leaked initially online yesterday when a slightly too eager Netflix social media manager posted, and then hastily deleted, a tweet about the renewal. Then later last night, Netflix and Neil Gaiman officially confirmed the news.
“The rumours are true. Netflix is thrilled that so many of you have been watching Sandman, and the thing we were all hoping would happen… has indeed happened…” commented Gaiman. “There are some astonishing stories waiting for Morpheus & the rest of them… Now it’s time to get back to work. There’s a family meal ahead… And Lucifer is waiting for Morpheus to return to Hell.”
The first season followed Dream as he was unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. To restore order, Dream must journey across different worlds and timelines to mend the mistakes he’s made during his vast existence, revisiting old friends and foes, and meeting new entities — both cosmic and human — along the way.
‘The Sandman’ season one also starred Boyd Holbrook, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Charles Dance, Jenna Coleman, David Thewlis, Stephen Fry, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Vanesu Samunyai (formerly known as “Kyo Ra”), John Cameron Mitchell, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Joely Richardson, Niamh Walsh, Sandra James-Young and Razane Jammal.
For those of you who can’t wait for more ‘Sandman’ content, both Tom Sturridge (Morpheus/Dream), and Mason Alexander Park, who plays Desire, Morpheus’ sibling and one of the seven Endless, recently appeared at MCM Comic-Con over the weekend. During their panel, they discussed getting their roles on the show, the diversity of the series, costumes, story arcs, and even what Dream and Desire would be like as flatmates!
