Netflix is bringing Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman to an end, with the second season set to be its last. Gaiman has been on the wrong side of the news lately after sexual misconduct allegations were levied against him last year. Other projects from Gaiman, including The Graveyard Boys at Disney and Good Omens at Prime Video, are also coming to various ending points as well after the accusations came to light. Disney halted production on The Graveyard Boys, and Prime Video turned Season 3 of Good Omens into a 90-minute final episode.

The Sandman series has always been focused exclusively on Dream’s story, and back in 2022, when we looked at the remaining Dream material from the comics, we knew we only had enough story for one more season,” showrunner Allan Heinberg told Netflix. “We are extremely grateful to Netflix for bringing the team all back together and giving us the time and resources to make a faithful adaptation in a way that we hope will surprise and delight the comics’ loyal readers as well as fans of our show.”

A video from the set of The Sandman Season 2 features Tom Sturridge, who plays Morpheus, offering insight into the new season. “At the start of Season 2, Dream is in a place of rebuilding,” he says in the video, adding that Dream has to reckon with his past decisions, “the consequences of which are enormous.” 

“Dream, having escaped his captivity in the waking world, has reclaimed his stolen tools and missing dreams, and is now focused on rebuilding his realm and attending to his duties,” Heinberg says about Dream discovering there are more skeletons in his closet. “That is, until the sins of his past catch up with him and make that impossible.”
