The Sandman Season 2 will soon be back with a new set of characters and we’re here for it. The ongoing adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s DC graphics novel series, dropped information on the scheduled release of season 2 during Netflix’s Geeked Week fan event.
From what we know, season 2 of Sandman will involve the Season of Mists storyline from the comics in which Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie) abdicates control of Hell and presents Morpheus, aka Dream (Tom Sturridge), with the key to its gates, causing many immortals to try to convince Morpheus to give the key to them. You can imagine, who all urge him to hand over the keys so that they could escape Hell and cause mayhem.
In the first lookphotos dropped during the Netflix event, we get to see the Norse gods Thor (Laurence O’Fuarain), Loki (Freddie Fox) and Odin (Clive Russell), who attend a “banquet” that Dream throws “for all the visiting deities and gods and fairies.”
The featurette also teases the introduction of Dream’s other siblings: Destiny (Adrian Lester), Delirium (Esmé Creed-Miles) and the Prodigal (Barry Sloane), who attend a “family dinner” of the rest of the Endless, Death (Kirby), Desire (Mason Alexander Park) and Despair (Donna Preston).
In addition to the returning cast members, The Sandman season 2 will have actors Ruairi O’Connor as Dream’s son Orpheus, Ann Skelly as Nuala, Douglas Booth as Cluracan, Jack Gleeson as Puck, Indya Moore as Wanda and Steve Coogan as the voice of Barnabas the dog.
Season 2 of The Sandman will debut in 2025. It is produced by Warner Bros. TV.
