The Sandman to Wrap Up with Two Volumes in July
Netflix’s epic fantasy series The Sandman will return for its second and final season in two Volumes this July. Consisting of six episodes, Volume 1 will premiere on July 3, and the five-episode Volume 2 will premiere on July 24.
After a fateful reunion with his family, Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge) must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds.
To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything.
Based on the beloved, award-winning DC comic series, the second season of The Sandman will tell Dream’s story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.
Showrunner, executive producer, and writer Allan Heinberg told the Netflix blog Tudum what fans can expect from the second season: “The Endless are supposed to be just that: endless. They’re meant to go on in perpetuity. They’re not supposed to change.
“But change is, of course, inevitable and essential to all life. Which is something Dream refuses to accept – at first. And when one of the Endless changes, it has colossal ramifications for all of us.”
The cast of the Warner Bros. Television series includes Tom Sturridge, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Esmé Creed-Miles, Adrian Lester, Barry Sloane, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, and Jenna Coleman.
Ferdinand Kingsley, Stephen Fry, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Razane Jammal, Ruairi O’Connor, Freddie Fox, Clive Russell, Laurence O’Fuarain, Ann Skelly, Douglas Booth, Jack Gleeson, Indya Moore, and Steve Coogan round out the cast.
Directed by Jamie Childs, the series is executive-produced by David S. Goyer and Neil Gaiman. It is based on the DC comic by Gaiman, Sam Keith, and Mike Dringenberg.
The writers include Ameni Rozsa, Alex Newman-Wise, Austin Guzman, Shadi Petosky, Jim Campolongo, Vanessa Benton, Jay Franklin, Greg Goetz, and Marina Marlens.
