Netflix He had bet big on ‘Sandman’, since the platform hoped that it would become one of the flagship series. Then came a premiere below expectations and doubts arose. Nevertheless, its success ended up being indisputable by spending seven weeks in the Top 10 on Netflix, something within the reach of very few series, and was finally renewed for a second season.
Now is the time to thoroughly review everything we know so far about season 2 of ‘Sandman’. It is true that for now we do not have too many details, but this article will be updated as more news arrives in order to have gathered here all the essentials about the next episodes of this adaptation of the comic Neil Gaman.
The history
The first thing you will have to solve season 2 is the cliffhanger he left us with in the tenth episode, since Lucifer longs to take revenge on the protagonist and everything indicates that their paths will cross again sooner rather than later. And also that the same will happen with Desire, who will surely not be able to resist continuing to hatch plans against Dream…
In addition, it should be remembered that the first season adapted the first two volumes of the comic, so everything suggests that the second will fully enter the next two and maybe even the fifth, since the special episode already addressed part of the third. In fact, Allan Heinbergshowrunner of the series, pointed out at the time that he was looking forward to adapting the Season of Fogs, the fourth volume of Gaiman’s comic, in the second season.
When does ‘Sandman’ season 2 premiere on Netflix?
Netflix has already had a hard time confirming the second season of the series, but what it has not done yet is set a release date. It is true that the writers had been working on it for some time, but then you have to balance schedules and ‘Sandman’ then requires a remarkable post-production work. The safest thing is that you have to wait until 2024 to see it.
Cast and protagonists
Except unexpected surprise in the style of Henry Cavill in ‘The Witcher’, we can take for sure the returns of Tom Sturridge, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Vivienne Acheampong, Patton Oswalt, and Gwendoline Christie. It is also likely that more performers who already appeared in the first season will repeat. For my part, I am looking forward to seeing Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, although the one that is practically guaranteed a greater presence is Deborah Oyelade like nothing.
Obviously, the second installment of ‘Sandman’ will also feature new charactersbut from Netflix they have not yet announced the signing of any new member for the cast of the series.

The only thing we have at the moment is this short video to announce the renewal of the series. As minimum we will have to wait until the filming beginswhich still has no date, to be able to take a look at season 2 of ‘Sandman’.
the future of the series
Only the second season is confirmed, but both Gaiman and Heinberg have commented on several occasions that the plan is to have a few more deliveries and even a possible spin-off. All this will depend on the series being successful enough for Netflix to want to go ahead with it, although Gaiman himself has already dropped that the series could make the leap to another platform if in his current home they decide to do without it…
