Season 2 sandman release date

Netflix has renewed The Sandman, its fantastical take on the acclaimed DC comic, for a second season. It's a dream come true. The long-awaited adaptation of writer Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic premiered in August 2022, and for awhile there fans were worried it wasn't going to be renewed, with Gaiman himself warning that topping the Netflix chart may not be enough for the expensive show to earn a second season. But those fears turned out to be unfounded, and Netflix ordered more episodes earlier this month. Season 1 followed Morpheus aka Dream (Tom Sturridge) on his quest to to set things right in his realm, the Dreaming, after being held captive for 105 years. So what will the new episodes — which Netflix for some reason is being cagey about calling Season 2 — bring? Here's everything we know about The Sandman Season 2 so far.

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... pic.twitter.com/zc5CrhsdZK— Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) November 3, 2022 A press release from Netflix did not refer to the pickup as a second season, but rather an unspecified number of new episodes and "stories to be adapted from multiple The Sandman graphic novels." It's possible that rather than releasing a proper season, the show could take on a more anthological style, with more episodes like the two-part "story collection" bonus episode that was released two weeks after Season 1. Or it might just end up being a regular old second season, whether or not Netflix officially describes it as such. We'll just have to wait and see what form The Sandman takes.
