Neil Gaiman Gives Exciting Update on 'THE SANDMAN' Season 2

Let’s face it, Netflix knocked it outta the park with their adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s ‘THE SANDMAN’ and had fans clamouring for more as soon as the binge watching was over. The series introduced us to the live action incarnations of Dream and his family and from what we can gather, the second season will show us the showdown between Dream and Desire everyone wants. Netflix however took its sweet time in renewing the series and we heard nothing until about November of last year.

Now seems all things are on track for the series to begin filming another chapter as Gaiman himself gave an update on Tumblr. When one fan inquired about the status of the second chapter, he replied, "Scripts are written. We are casting the first episode we will be shooting. Sets are being designed."

Now that’s some good news and we can add this news to what actor Mason Alexander Park, confirmed and shared his excitement saying, “We’re gonna tackle the next huge chunk of stories in however long that might take.”

No Formal Season 2 In Sight

One thing has to be made perfectly clear about this next chapter or phase of The Sandman for Netflix, don’t call it season 2. Netflix confirmed in November last year that more episodes of the hit series were on the way it chose its words very carefully dubbing it “a continuation of The Sandman world,” rather than a traditional Season 2. Later, Netflix’s head of UCAN scripted TV Peter Friedlander, explained that the streamer is “considering batching approaches” when it comes to The Sandman. Friedlander continued saying, “There are decisions that haven’t been made, but we are considering batching approaches. Everything’s on the table when it comes to Sandman. It’s an innovative show.” This could mean that just like the comics, we will get “volumes” of the show instead of seasons.

The new episodes of The Sandman are in the works, and you can stream all currently-released episodes on Netflix. We’ll bring you even more information on The Sandman once we get it.
