Everything We Know About The Sandman Season 2

The Sandman is one of the most bingeable shows that Netflix has put out in recent years. Therefore, it is only to be expected that the audience would be waiting for The Sandman season 2. The Sandman series is adapted from the comic series of the same name, by the author Neil Gaiman. It is a show about the character of dream the endless.

In 1916, an occult ritual captured Morpheus, one of the seven Endless and the embodiment of dreams. The dream breaks free from his 106-year captivity and strives to bring peace back to his domain, the Dreaming. 

The show’s most important factor is the cast’s masterful acting and the dreamy landscape that sets a perfect background. So, let’s see if The Sandman season 2 is in the works.

The Sandman Season 2 Release Date Speculation

The Sandman has been renewed by Netflix for a second season, and thus is a source of joy for both the comic fans and show watchers. It’s exciting to know that The Sandman season 2 will happen soon.

The show has gone into production recently, after the end of the strike, although it is unclear when it will be out. On the 35th anniversary of the renowned comic novel, the news of the production beginning was announced. 

In a statement announcing the news, Gaiman gave us hints about what to anticipate from The Sandman season 2. 

“This week we officially restart production on the next sequence of stories of The Sandman for Netflix. Genius showrunner Allan Heinberg and the countless people in front of and behind the camera are building something endlessly special, and bringing these stories to life in a way that would once have been unimaginable.

A journey is beginning that will take us from Destiny’s Garden to Hell, from the Heart of the Dreaming to Ancient Greece and revolutionary France, and from there to places even I cannot quite imagine on the screen. I will be patient. Good things are coming.” Therefore, we can expect the upcoming season to be out by late 2024. 

What To Expect From The Sandman Season 2?

The Sandman season 2 is expected to start with volumes 4 and 5 out of the 10-volume total of The Sandman series. The titles are Season of Mists and A Game of You respectively. This was confirmed by Mr. Gaiman himself, who commented, “Our plans for the second season is the second two graphic novels, which technically, in this case, will be books four and five, with some bits of the short stories in book three scattered among some other stuff.”

In the first of them, Lucifer Morningstar abandons her kingdom. It begins a new life on Earth, liberating her demons in the process, and dreams of endless returns to Hell, where Lucifer Morningstar is waiting for him. 

In the second of these volumes, the minor role from the first season, Barbie, who, thanks to the intervention of her legendary steed Martin Tenbones, finally returns to her dream realm in the Dreaming. And since the series has been mostly faithful regarding the books, we expect them to stick closely to this plot as well. However since Gaiman himself is a part of the process, it can change anytime.
