Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Sandman’ to End With Season 2 at Netflix (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comJennifer Maas TV Business Writer Netflix’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman‘s “The Sandman” will end with its upcoming second season. “The Sandman” Season 2 has been a long time coming.
The first season debuted in August 2022, and it wasn’t renewed at Netflix until November of that year. At that time, Netflix was also hesitant to label it as a second season at all, choosing instead to say it was “a continuation of ‘The Sandman’ world,” and wouldn’t commit to an episode count.
Variety has confirmed the second season was intended to be the last prior to filming. “‘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,” “The Sandman” showrunner Allan Heinberg said in a statement to Variety Friday. “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.” The release plan for Season 2 will not be impacted by the cancellation and the episodes are still set for a 2025 release.
Confirmation of the show’s conclusion comes on the heels of several sexual misconduct accusations leveled at Gaiman, who created “The Sandman” DC comics and developed the TV series.
