After the success and positive reception from critics and fans, Netflix did not take much time before announcing the second chapter of The Sandman. Meanwhile, Neil Gaiman confirmed in April 2023 that the – “Scripts are written. We are casting the first episode we will be shooting. Sets are being designed,” for the sequel of The Sandman.
Even after the confirmation made by the executive producer and the creator of The Sandman, rumors about Netflix changing its mind and canceling the shows after their renewal was doing the rounds of the entertainment world. During an interview with Comicbook.com, Neil Gaiman mentioned-
“Netflix could go out of business before more Sandman launches. A new, nightmarish pestilence could close the world down completely. The actors could all be eaten by weasels and the show would be shuttered. But if there’s a Netflix and nothing unforeseen and tragic happens to close the world or the show down, then there will be more Sandman.”
According to the developments in the second season of The Sandman, the plot is based on the volume The Season of Mists. According to Gaiman, the character of Despair, portrayed by Donna Preston, would go through a major transformation in the second season. Tom Sturridge would be back as Dream/Morpheus, and as Lucifer has a major role in the second season of The Sandman, Gwendoline Christie will be retained.
The first season of The Sandman was very much similar to its source, but the same cannot be predicted about the second chapter. With the addition of new characters and faces and the limited screen presence of the retained characters, changes in the plot are expected. The Sandman season 2 is expected to premiere in 2024 on Netflix
